Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

87,000 lbs of steel.

 

A few from this week

 

Preferred loads

 

Daytime pic and I added a dunnage bulkhead because I don't like this load... Those are lumber tarps if you can't tell. Ugly.



(that horizontal chain is putting no pressure is on the plug)



I've never done a dunnage bulkhead before and it looks ugly, but it's tight.

 

Did a load of steel pipes this week. They are concrete lined with a plastic outside coat so they've got to be strapped. Pipes are 5.5 tons each. They are in shaped timber bolsters. Unloaded in the biggest shed I've been in for a while.

They going to build airplanes or blimps in there?

 

They built the shed for machinery to build concrete sections for a bridge and new freeway they were building next to it. It's vacant so they are using it to store the pipes. They are water pipes.

 

Yeah, you can't have something that you picked up outside sit outside at a delivery location, especially if it is going into the ground... LOL

 

Yeah it seems crazy but the shed is vacant in the industrial area of Adelaide right next to the pipe project and most industrial land is taken up so I guess it makes sense to them. Anyway, at least we don't get wet if it rains except it is the middle of summer here with temps of 100 deg

 

I saw this today. The way I should have routed a single chain for my dunnage bulkhead. Duly noted.
