Here's another real stupid question for you guys...what's the point of a beam setup compared to a deck?
Can you technically get the machine lower on a beam?

I am sure you probably could save 1ft in height, maybe more? -
I moved a non-articulated off road dump truck once with a 96” RGN. That width allowed the front wheels to straddle the deck while the inside rear wheels rode up on it. Blocking under the front raised the truck with the raising of the gooseneck. -
The machine was 13 10 on the ground
Loaded on my beam it was only 14 5
On my flat deck with a 26” deck height I would have been right at 16 tall
And that would be much harder than get around with
Also, the load had a more chowder center of gravity and didn’t bounce on the rubber tires - makes it much more stable going down the roadLoneCowboy, Oxbow, kylefitzy and 4 others Thank this. -
@johndeere4020
Could you let me know what your 390 weighs with no bucket stick arm and counterweight? And with just the arm?
How wide and tall on your beam ?
Someone wants me to move one through a 20k axle state and trying to get a really good idea how e close I can come
Thanks!Razororange, Oxbow, Ruthless and 2 others Thank this. -
MartinFromBC, cke, Oxbow and 3 others Thank this.

Thanks @johndeere4020
I really don’t want to move but I am getting my arm twaisted. So we will see. -
Only way to untwist a twisted arm is to increase the money exponentially according to the amount of twisting. At some point one or the other is going to scream ouch & walk away, or scream uncle & give in to the other.
