30 ton RGN load capacity

Ill be honest ive not done the super heavy stuff before. But there have been more then enough threads in the accident fourm for me to say this.

Is it worth the risk? Maybe someone has a way to make it safer i am unaware of. Being that big a diffrence i doubt it.....but maybe in which case do that. However, people run overloaded all the time. And you see major wrecks all the time. Can you afford it happening to you? What happens if dot catches you? What happens if god forbid your in a wreck and the lawyer brings up the fact you had 65T on a 30T RGN? How will that go for you?

Running a trailer over means you may and likely will start to see structural damage over time. Running one THAT far over namely.more then double means you will see it fail in short order. Maybe you start to bend or warp things. Maybe the locks slowly wallow out or bend just enough a hard bump makes them let loose and your expensive load just flew into oncoming traffic and killed someone. Maybe the trailer just colapses when you load it and destroys the multi million dollar peice of equipment.

MY advice is no way no how would i run 65T on a trailer rated at 30T. Waaaaaaay to much liability. But again i have never done super heavy and most of my loads top out around 90K (55T in the trailer) and even those are super rare. So take the advice with a grain of salt.

 

Load is 65,000 lbs. 35 ton trailer can haul 70,000 lbs. It's a permit load, but I don't understand the problem.

 

Also, the 30 ton rating will likely be concentrated in 10 ft.

 

Ah derp i saw the 65K and read it as 65T my mistake. Thanks for pointing that out lol.

That said everything i said still stands just less insane. Id be leery of going that much over especially because of the locking jaws.

 

I don't see a problem, of course this depends on the rest of the equipment.

 

And adding a pin-on 3rd axle so I would not be nearly as concerned if loaded at over 40k on the trailer axle.
The XL is rated at 60k at full or 50k in 16' on tandem without the pin-on 3rd
The main thing is your 5th wheel height... 50" or more is ideal.

 

Adding the pin on axle will most likely decrease the trailer load rating ( it does on my trail king 55t rgn) because it effectively makes the trailer longer and puts more stress on the main beams.
