Reitnourer Maxlite
 

Has anybody owned one of these. Need to know what it would weigh with just standard equipment i.e. 48x102 alum. wheels and 2 60 in. side boxes.

Yo Jumbo-where ya been?
Is that a Curtainside?

I believe those weigh just under 10,000 pounds.

Yoop, Just working late. I was curious because I MAY be thinking about driving my own truck. I thought maybe someone has pulled one of these and knew what they weighed with the standard stuff. I wouldn't want to rule out a conestoga yet. Just curious because the Big Bubba weighs about 8800 and the Maxlite is rated for less than that. Of course I could go with super singles and that stuff also to get it down even more.

Have you tried their website?

Make sure if you get the heaviest rated one if you plan on doing the heavier hauling. I know it sounds crazy, but a lot of the heavier coils will wreak havoc on the lighter built ones. My dad has a Big Bubba and it has really stood up to the heavy ones. It has even hauled a lot of permitted overweight and is still not showing any cracks.

I have a Big Bubba, 48'x102", 2- 5' aluminum boxes, straps and ratchets, aluminum wheels, aluminum bulk head. It's weight is 10,800

Yeah that sounds about right. We have a '96 model....don't know if it's a Big Bubba or whatever. It weighs about that. Just so you know the driver side beams cracked right through the lower flange. Ted's Trailer repair in Canton OH estimated $5,000 to fix it.

We've owned it for about 5 years. It's always carried about 50,000lb uniformly distributed loads since we've owned it. The guy before hauled steel. Maybe it had a coil dropped on it....don't know.

We bought a '96 Lode King combo to replace it. It's lighter than the Reitnouer.

Hi Rank Where about on the length of the trailer did the trailer crack at? Front - back - middle?
Thanks for the info Mike

might wanna also check out East Jumbo-very good trailer and weight is right.
