From looking at the web size, my guess is a max of 4 would fit across the deck.
The problem here is, how does the receiver plan to unload.
Crane, forklift. That makes a difference in what you can do.
Beam question loading ?

Sorry I was already at destination and, was in the process of removing my chains when I took this picture.
I would like to know how I can load the beams like in my drawing?
Also is there any issues as far as safety loading beams this way?Attached Files:

What type of equipment is used to load and unload these?
Is the equipment able to lift three or mor pieces at a time?Tug Toy Thanks this. -

Personally with the load you posted I'd have left the bottom as is, thrown some dunnage, then put the one up on top, but roll it over so it's more stable.Tug Toy Thanks this. -
What about interlacing the beams,.. one inside the other to tighten them up a bit? Use a choker in the front and back to keep them tight.

I would have taken the beam off the bottom left side and put it on top. I'd rather have two on top than one.
I don't like nesting because it's hard to get them all to rest on something completely solid. They may come to rest on the slight curve of the beam and then loosen up after a bump in the road.Tug Toy Thanks this.
