I recently saw a video of a heavy lift artic climbing Berridale, carrying a long girder, and using a remote rear dolly with RWS; it was barely able to get round the tight hairpin and looked as if it would have been better with one of the banksman steered dollies.
That pretty much sums up it up. The Prelude reacts entirely to the amount of steering lock applied.
