Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Man that must ride horribly

 

Without track frames on there it appears to be quite a chore to find enough places to tie to.
Beams always make things look tippy, but I bet you give corners and side slopes a lot of respect with that.

 

It’s not as bad as you think, makes you hope the D rings are welded on good. I’ve been luckier than him with 1250’s, we always crane loaded them on a deck with just 2” blocks underneath. I’ve hauled cranes that way plenty though.



In the interest of full disclosure that’s not my load, I can’t find any of mine it’s been a few years since I hauled one but it’s the same machine from the same company just a different driver that I had taken a picture of for some reason.


365's and 245's are the same deal

 

85,000 on 14" of blocks and stupid Tadano doen't have any tiedown point up high.

or a wheel loader

 

Looks crazy top heavy. I do not see a load that big in my future. Hats off to your hard work.

 

Loaded at job site and the customer only brought in a very small crane to pick up the tracks. So rather than haul it right on the beam with rubber, it had to go this way.

If I had to load it again I would offset it just an inch or so. It leans uphill right now just a hair.

The broken windshield sucks however - lost a bunch of sleep over that.

 

Yeah, that's a bummer. Are they sticking you with it?

 

Standard practice...….if it breaks while being hauled it is the hauler's responsibility.

 

Window glass in equipment is honestly pretty #### for the most part. We probably change at least 2 windows a month across our entire fleet.

 

On ours ordered through Cat they are usually $300 to $400. A glass shop can probably beat that by quite a bit, but sometimes ordering in the exact fit and then installing it in the field seems to work out cheaper than removing the frame and taking it in.
