Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Aspen has the more spaced out trapezoid cutouts. TK has even triangles.

Also the support legs on the side of the neck are 100% Aspen.

 

gotcha. All I saw was the shims on the neck and it made me think of our 2-3-2 TKs I’m parked next too tonight.


Regardless that wide floor thing is confusing…

MUST BE FOOKIN NICE

 

It is. Most of ours are, there are some TKs in the mix , I think everything else got sold.

 

The neck is a little different on a trail king.

 

The neck and the swing-out light bars are the things I noticed.

 

I know exactly why you think you saw what you saw but oddly enough those aren't swing out light bars.

My neck has feet. For when we have to self load or self unload the Jeep. Really a desperate maneuver if you have to do it. But with a good bit of blocks and those leggys there we can just have the neck stand up somewhere on its own. (I mean I have seen them elsewhere I just don't find them to be super common)

They are on most of our trailers.

This picture might clear it up a little bit. Better lighting.

Not the only odd feature of this trailer. But I'll have to get photos of the other two odditys for those to make sense. The telescoping booster for one, and the suspension is well it's not like a normal walking beam. (In a hotel right now.)

 

There's that telescoping booster. Makes weight balance literally as easy sliding the tandems.

And the suspension where each side is somewhat independent and goes up into the beams.
Which leads to an admittedly great ride but terrible stability. Truth be told I would need to really get underneath the thing to really have that start to make sense but. It's not a common style from what I've been told and they don't order the new ones that way. (We call them dolphin beams)

You can see where the suspension lockout is a few holes cut out of the frame.


The rest is all pretty standard Aspen.

 

no I didn’t move it or any part of it but I did move an 80 foot manlift that they had used to paint that monstrosity. Sorry I didn’t take any pictures of the manlift…I found this much more interesting

 

The small counterweight weighs 46000lbs, the larger one was 2 pieces.
I moved the counterweight of one from south of Atlanta to northern Alberta on my sliding axle step-deck.
