Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Thats a beautiful aero tail. I am way too lazy for that. Nice work.

 

First coil ive run in probably 8 months , took me a little while to remeber how to tarp it lol first load with the new tarps

 

There's a long pair of rails in the middle on the bottom, was actually the easiest way.

No sleep ‘til Brooklyn

 

What structural component is that? Vertical walls? Apartment floor segments?

Is there metal tubes inside the concrete or what?

 

@FoolsErrand I'm not the poster, but I've hauled those. We call them hollow core. They are floors and they extrude them on these machines and they can leave different portions of the hollow part full (for strength and such)


one small job i brought them too they were using them as the floor on a residential house (mtn community, couple million dollar home) and that was going to be the garage floor (so it needed strength)

 

Thanks man, thats pretty interesting. So theres no iron inside them? Theyre not made in conventional forms?

 

TBH i'm not sure if there is rebar inside them or not. But it's literally extruded out this machine with the hollow part pushing it forward. Long lengths of them and they cut them (and different parts have hollow or non-hollow) per job and specs. I thought I took a picture of the machine, but I can't find it.



this is the machine behind the trailer, but you can't really see it, but you can see how it just pushes them down the line and they cut them.

 

These are floors for what I believe is an apartment building. That's the building in the background of the pic. I'm pretty sure they all have prestressed cables embedded in the concrete. There's maybe 4 or 5 of them running through near the bottom of the piece. Some of the slabs have a slight camber, that's why I think the cables have been stretched before the concrete cures. They always handle them with overhead slings on each end or with hooks on each end like in @LoneCowboy 's picture.
Not long ago, I had someone try to pick a piece up with a forklift and it broke right in half!
The cables running through the bottom of the piece only gives strength to the top of the piece, not so much to the bottom...the weight of the concrete is what caused the piece to break on the forks
