Why it works
A precise count appears in the first three seconds, then the opening reframes familiar deployment methods into a less obvious transport question by 0:23. Maps establish the need, a stable truck diagram layers feature demonstrations from 2:22 to 3:33, and archival footage supplies visual proof; the axle-and-trailer demonstration at 2:56.9–3:00.9 is the strongest replay peak. A documented complication near 5:02 qualifies the impressive system before the sponsor handoff at 5:22.
