High rail loading tips

Load and strap then raise tractor top. I load all three on trailer top then strap and raise. Then load all 4 on bottom strap and release pins. Drop everything down gone. Depends on locations ive loaded 9 in under an hr. Usually around two hrs out the gate. Sadly I can load 11 in 2 hours or less out gate. Got to develop a system.

 

I drive a day cab, I don't have issues. I raise all 3 on trailer all the way up I can clear suburbans etc. Had 2 4 runners in belly today.

 

Exactly this. Anytime the top was going to be tight to get a big one in the belly, it was quicker to load 1 2 3 5, get em up, load 6 & 7, then drop 4 back down to load after you've got the front ones down.

It was very rare to have a small enough load of 9 to flat deck the top, so I'd throw the first four on, raise them, then load 5, then all 4 on bottom. That seemed to be the easiest and quickest.

 

I use my flippers to avoid the belly issues. I load the whole top of the tractor first then tuck in my flippers and load the top of the trailer. That way if you have clearance or height issues you can always slide the decks still. Make the truck do the work and save yourself the headaches

 

Ok so we re on the same page #3 I call it is first on the trailer. I tuck in both flippers on #3 ( if it's a car or suv) park on the flippers. Then I slide the deck all the way forward . That way I have lots of room to play with when I raise it up.
When I have to split deck I keep the decks almost a foot apart so they're out of the way.

 

I forgot my 3 deck top rear tractor slides so I can get more room in the air.
