    Technically yes it should be more visible & some states would give me trouble about it. I do most of my running in TX, OK & LA & they have never given me any grief about it.

    This trailer has a couple of fittings on it that you can screw 1" pipe in & mount the sign between them, just haven't had the time to take care of it yet.

    It works for me, never hauled one of those. Looks like the weight is spread out more & the tracks are pretty substantial, giving it a lower center of gravity.

    That bow thruster is sitting in a rack & the weight is definitely higher because of it. Normally the part that is sticking up is actually sitting on plywood, flat on the deck, gives it a much lower center of gravity.

    Awesome man hands down the best company I ever worked for. Great people to work for and with amazing equipment some awesome bennies. If it wasn't for my motorcycle accident and the fact I really don't want to team any more I'd be there in a heartbeat

    No big loads here but something related. I work out of Grass Valley CA, one of the richest gold producing areas of the country during the gold rush & up to the 1940s. My Co. is in the process of covering an exposed mineshaft that is said to go straight down 6000'. The cyclone fence surrounds the cellar & shaft for now and they are preparing a 40' x 40' cable screen to spread over the top of the opening to prevent any thing bigger than a squirrel from falling in. I moved the 2 excavators in & they will carry each side of the screen & drape it over the cellar then anchor the screen every several feet. Every worker within 50' is tethered. Lots of interesting things up here in the Sierra Nevada hills.
