Back At Heavy Haul

I guess maybe I should chime in here - since I own a west coast trailer and so does @Heavy Hammer. People refer to them by all kind of different names - coffin or evener or yes even walking beam(although technically this is probably misleading).

Typically when I think about walking beam it is axle
Suspension between the front axle and rear axle in a 2 axle group.

So you all can argue all you want but it doesn't make any difference.

 

They are truckers, Ron. Of course they argue.
Most industries have things that are known by one name in one place, and another name elsewhere.

 

Chime in if you want, I pulled one for thousands of miles and hundreds of loads. I'm familiar with them in and out as well as working around much much bigger ones. I know of what I speak.

 

I know you do and I did not infer in any way you did not. I do however live out west and am familiar with what people refer to the trailers as...

So I am at least as qualified as you and regularly refer to the as west coast trailers

And yes you can scale a 336 on 6 or 7 axles ....

 

I never questioned your qualifications. How many years have you been doing this? I remember reading about you buying your first detach a few years ago.

 

I am pretty well done with this

Good luck

 

Ok

 

To be more specific, the pic is a trunnion axle on a walking beam suspension. Well actually, we always called them 16 wheel setups around here but when I was researching about purchasing one of these trailers awhile back, I found that all the manufacturers call them trunnion axles.

 

Yes they do

I just call them 16 tire trailers
