    Brought them back to Milwaukee from up north in WI. They are coming in to get cleaned up and re machined. We'll haul them back up in a month or 2 when they are done.

    This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMI632G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Works pretty good. I bought it because we occasionally run into hauling hot pieces like this and I'm always afraid they'll melt my straps.

    I do a fair amount of Aggreko loads. Were you able to close the curtain?

    We run 48' flats and 4x4's are the norm for dunnage on units that don't have fork slots. Sometimes we power only on their trailers and that gets to be interesting, with maintenance issues popping up. Fortunately I have a complete toolbox and electrical supplies.

    Ya they had it on their trailer but transferred to mine. They wanted to use 6X6s but that wa too tall just looking at it. We tried my 4x4s and still too tall. Finally laid some of my v boards down.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    Nah you don't need a beam, haul them all the time on a deck. I figured it was a 345, that's the smallest Cat with a CWT removal system and I knew it wasn't a 350 and wrong house style to be s 349. There's no deck under the tracks that was kinda the give away of the beam. How does that scale out on a tandem tractor?
