Nussbaum Van/Flatbed Trailer

I've seen this type of trailer before. Arbor Freight (now Ruan) in Eau Claire , WI and another carrier use this type of trailer to haul steel coils out of Alcoa in Evansville,IN. They have been doing it for years.

You totally missed the point of that picture. It's not that only door slammers #### up. It's the question of why when you put four thin aluminum walls around flatbed freight does it not need to be tied down anymore? That's the point of that picture.

 

These trailers have D-Rings inside the trailer in the floor on the left and right sides starting at the nose all the way to the tail. The D-rings were bolted to the frame through the floor... each d-ring was about 2 feet apart if I remember right. Then use 4 inch straps from d-ring... over coil... back to the opposite d-ring.

just like a flatbed... except for the tarp!

 

Yea I saw that in the video and that's great. I was really commenting on the picture that jfaulk put up because I would bet that van didn't have securement points just like most vans don't have securement points.

 

And how many vans use "D" rings or chain ties? Now how many use blocks nailed to the floor?

Exactly! A load lock is "securment" to most van guys, great for toilet paper, not for coils!

 

Let the DOT catch a flatbed hailing coils with straps....not gonna be pretty. Here in IN they have been working hard on us steel haulers and doing inspections everyday.

 

Oh dude I remember readin your post

About the loveland tunnel bypass

Pullin 212,000lbs. and people sayin. On the cb the last time you said that he made us stop

I get the point now tho sorry....

Anyway how much weight does it take too require a pusher/puller truk setup?

Seen one once up between rifle,co and meeker,co west of that state hiway think

Its rt. 13 butt anyway there a town about an hr. North of rifle there

And you go west for about another half hour on this lil county hiway

And then blamm people everywhere in the area doing natural gas field work

Seen one up there said the tower they was haulin was almost. 300 ft with the truck

Never did get the weight they had about 500 dozen escort vehicles

Cus of the twisty curvy ### roads back there this has been like 3 or 4 yrs. Ago

Had another hand on here tell me he was haulin pipe and stuff up there since 2006

You been there gott any info on the push/pull truk set up

 

Huh?

 

I've never been heavy enough to need a pusher truck but the guys I've talked to told me they don't usually hook one up until 350k or better. Sounds like you were in Pieance Creek and yea it was busy around there when you were there I've moved rigs down there quite a bit.

 

I repowered a load of jumbo sacks has some material they use for removing water from natural gas my father worked for the pipeline in kansas fulltime when I was a kid he told me about the material I picked it up in amarillo,tx and took it the rest of the way

Was beautiful out there meet a bullhauler once a few yrs. After that. The TA in concordia,mo
Said he used too bee a ranch hand out by meeker,co and said that he was outta there before they gott going on that project I lied I guess about the hr. North of rifle its only

19 miles north on rt. 13 the lil gas station there on the eastside of the hiway where you turn too go out there is @ Rio blanco, co

Left that place that day went up 2 green river,wyoming too church and dwight for a load
Of sodium carbonate or baking soda

When I got too the CO/WY stateline there still on rt. 13 north of craig,co
they had another push/pull @ that weightstation coup there on the line

Looked just as bigg as the one I had seen earlier that day an maybee bigger

Piceance River is correct there dude thx for the info
