as a *specialized car hauler what is the max width of my bed

Both Cottrell and Wally-Mo, the two most common names in car hauling trailers have specs on line. Check them out

Specs from both list width as 102 inches. That would include the frames and hydraulics. As manufacturers of auto transport equipment, they might know a thing or two about whats legal.

 

True, but he's doing specialized hauling. I kinda lost track with 16 different topics being covered.

I do think that specialized hauling of anything would require different set ups and such set ups will require permits. Hell if I know for sure though.

@TowHaul how were these transported prior to you specing a trailer?

 

Ok, now I'm confused, a Dodge Ram 3500, only has about a 9,500 rear axle rating, even a 5500 only has a TOTAL GVWR of 19,500 MAX, and the front ax is 7,000 so the rear is only 12,500, are you SURE you are not confusing GCVWR (towing capacity)with Load, (payload capacity)??????

 

I'm confused on which truck he's talking about he said this truck was the one in his profile that's a semi now he's calling there's a one ton 3500 kind of like team RV crap

 

Do you know that expert is a past tense drip

 

It's not a Ram; post #47 he mentioned hauling a Ram. The truck is the one in post #37.

 

If the truck is the one in the pic on #37 then there is no need for a tag axle, that truck with sleeper and lift/deck should not be over 18,000 (I had 5 of them) and if that truck has a 33k GVW, "Probably" a 12,000 ft and a 21,000 rear (which in most cases is only good till 20,000) That gives him 14,000 of capacity, a 2500 diesel dodge at 7900 and a small car at 3000 and he is good to go!

The only way he would need a tag is if he can't get enough weight on the front axle?
