Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

after all the elevators lumber and coils lately, i finally get an easy no tarp load

 

I only spent a couple bucks on a coffee yesterday that I haven't even opened yet. Just keeping stock, ya know. And I found a $5 bill where I left it so I'm ahead of the game.

Oh and that load is less than 70k lbs... A couple [darn] steep hills on the way over here though [darn]! Under 20km/h climbing two hills, this is a new place for me.

 

Found money is always good

 

QC thaw... Makes things easy. 70k on the decks.

 

Winch wasn't strong enough to pull it up so we got a forklift in the rear and helped push it on. It's loaded with truck tires, my stabilizer bars wasn't strong enough to lift it either, so forklift again.



Added lots of securement, 4 chains, binders & 4 straps. Don't know how heavy it was.

 

If your steer tires never came off the ground then it wasn't to heavy.

 

How much does it weigh?

 

Another load of dies. Pain in the rear to secure. And even more of a pain to tarp. But this is the first challenge in a couple weeks, it's good to keep thinking.

 

Above the 2nd pic, I stated I didn't know. My winch is rated for 20k and couldn't pull it up. My stabilizer bars usually can pick up a JD backhoe (17k)) lbs), but I had the rear of the trailer overhanging the bed by about 2 feet and that is where most of the weight was so it could either be over 20k or it could have been the position of the weight.

 

Couple more to Iowa. Three more and this job will be done.
