Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

They were all over the place during the summer with weights. One week your allowed one weight next you wasnt. Your buddy up in delaware. Was perplexed when I would have different weights on my three axle group on truck. I would permit 18000 21000 21000. At first he tried to say I couldn't do that but after a phone call to a superior he changed his feeble mind.

 

Lift it and flip it clear over and lay it on trailer frame. No more need for excavator or some other way of decking.

 

Yeah he’s notorious for crap like that.

 

The Talbert I’ve been around you could only lift it not flip it.

 

If I can get to the shop I'll take a pic of it. He is parked at my shop.

 

I believe ya, I just haven’t been around one. The nitrogen one is nice because of the lift capability and not needing shims.

 

He's also has the nitrogen setup on it. I personally don't like the nitrogen stingers. All the ones I have been around have issues. Blowing seals out of cylinders, nitrogen leaking off plus running an extra pony motor or electric pump setup.

 

My guy Martin loves his nitro stinger - the only pain for him lifting it - is getting straight enough to pin before lifting it.

Having a long well makes it much more usable

 

One thing I dont understand are the 55 ton trailers with the 3rd axle lift.
Even with the 3rd lifted, the kingpin to the last axle is still alot more than 41 feet. How can you run empty, legally? Especially Connecticut and Calfornia?

 

They can’t, from what I understand there aren’t many trailers like that in California because they’re not legal kinda exactly what we’ve been talking about. Not sure on Connecticut but probably illegal.
