    A friend of mine has a steel plate that is coming in in a couple months and asked me if I knew. Wondering if it will be able to get in the parking lot. I don't do flatbed so I didn't want to guess. It's 14 wide legal height and length. 105 ton. What might the set up be for this in Midwest

    Said plate, so I'm assuming it's probably around an inch to 6 inches thick x14w x what 20' or 30' long?

    a 6 inch thick plate by 48' long brings it to about 75-80 ton

    6 inch plate by 10' x 8'6" is about 18k- he's 14 wide right? So lets see- Ive never personally seen a thick plate 48 feet long(6 inch or thicker)- But to accrue that kind of weight- It'll have to be-

    Unless its a clumsy Mill Slab he got real cheap( Oblong piece of iron that looks deformed

    I'm curious is a short ton a standard ton and a long ton a metric ton?
