    See if you can hook the frame in the middle on both sides and pull straight down. That will help.

    There ain't much of an axle on them I'll look again

    Update: the one closest to the front I can chain on the front axle
    the rear sweeper I can chain over the rear

    If you have the keys you could lower the suction head and brooms. Could add stability

    I wouldn't.
    Be asking for a claim as they would bounce against the deck..
    Too flimsy to strap.

    They are designed to be on the ground while the truck is moving. Im not saying lift em off the ground, (wouldn't anyway) just down. Beyond that, id say use straps around axles ect..

    Fine be that way. Do they have air suspension? Can you bleed out the tanks so its sitting on bump stops?

    No just independent suspension chaining the axles may be a little difficult

    Ok ok, well there is a top secret securment method for tricky loads.




    Flip em over so they are laying on there roofs. Nice and flat. No bounce.








    Your welcome.

    How bout I just push them off the trailer in that case? I think they are paying pretty decent to come out of California
