The tri axle would make it easy to axle 80,000 lbs. Having TWIC card is good but going to Dundalk sucks, most of the freight is cut once or twice before it leaves the docks. If you can load toward the area where the yellow iron is then load a machine to Ca, i can hook you up with the LTL king and put an extra 1 or 2 dollars a mile out of the rust belt back to Ca. you need the trailer that gives you the most loading opportunity. |

Here's a Trail King double-drop
[ATTACH=CONFIG]693[/ATTACH] 47'10" long 10' upper deck 29'2" main deck 8'8" rear deck 24" loaded height at the main deck 40" loaded height rear deck Can a trailer like this be used instead of the detach RGN? How often do you guys actually NEED to load the RGN from the front? The mid-size equipment I've picked up so far was always going from a plant where these machines were made to a dealer who then sold them to the buyer. Both the plant and dealer had 40" high docks for loading/unloading WITHOUT detaching from the trailer. One day I picked up farm tractors at a sea port in WA and they had docks, and again all tractors were delivered to dealers with docks. I mean, how often do you deliver machines like the one in the picture to a farmer in the middle of nowhere who just buys one of these $125,000 'toys' for his kids to play with? ;) A basic double-drop (like the Trail King in the picture above) would be able load/unload stuff via the rear deck + get loaded with a crane. The 15,000 lb dozer I picked up recently in Quebec and delivered to Ohio was loaded with a crane and unloaded onto the 40" dock of the receiver.

Found one company that can make a 53 step (steel/wood) as low as 30" on the main deck! Will call the local dealer Tuesday - after the holiday.

If you go DD you need the RGN, a lot of loads ask for a RGN but are not tall, just need to load from the ground.
I loaded this at a movie set, no one around to help, no dock. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...2/IMG_2193.jpg This was easier, just landed it on the trailer. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...2/IMG_2124.jpg |
