An x-ray inspection system comprising:

• a vehicle;
• a first x-ray scanning module configured to be transportable, via a transport of the vehicle, to an inspection site, the first x-ray scanning module further configured to irradiate, with a first x-ray scanning beam, a near side of an object to be inspected at the inspection site;
• a mobile conveyance;
• and
• a second x-ray scanning module configured to be transportable to the inspection site via a combination of the mobile conveyance and the vehicle, the second x-ray scanning module further configured to be movable and positioned at a chosen position relative to the first x-ray scanning module at the inspection site, via the mobile conveyance, to irradiate, with a second x-ray scanning beam, a far side of the object to be inspected,
• wherein the vehicle and the mobile conveyance are configured to be mechanically coupled together during the transport to the inspection site and to be mechanically decoupled from each other at the inspection site.
