    Ohhh I see it now; the deck is even with the tires which gives it an even balance of gravity so that it won’t split the trailer in two, or at least less likely, sure it’s still possible somehow

    I ride a pig of a bike. But my younger brother is into sport bikes and stunt riding. He's 36 and finally backing it down. To many wrecks and finally catching up. 90mph standing on the seat flopped it once. Bike broke in half. He slid down the road and bent a road sign over with his back. Broke two bones in his hand. But looked like hamburger on his back head to toe. Them boys would laugh at running 170 mph. I'm not as wild on a bike as he was.

    I’ve always wondered how you keep loads like that from falling off, bet you have to take curves slowly

    I have heard this. But haven't seen this.

    Needs to hurry up for what I'm thinking.

    RGN (lowbed) are typically built much stronger than the average flatbed. You can get RGNs with some pretty stout ratings. Blue one is 65 ton, black is an 80 ton. 882425-webimages2-thumbs-13181a.jpg 915112-webimages2-thumbs-14255g.jpg

    Your typical RGN "lowboy" trailer like that which I once pulled many moons ago is typically rated for 35-50 tons.

    You couldn't get that much weight on a regular flatbed. Those aren't built to carry loads like that.

    Hell, for some even coils are too much because of the concentration.

    Reminds me of a bridge with the sign that has different weight limits depending on how many axles you have, same concept
