Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Komatsu 930E chassis heading for Savannah, GA

 

What town do you pick that up at

 

Peoria, IL

 

Is that a stretch? How are your airlines set up? We are in the process of changing from a plastic air track to loose lines. We’ve had way to many failures of the air track in the last year or so.

 

Nope it's a modular. I have a 5 and 10 ft section. Most of the big stuff I move doesn't need a full deck so the sections are just frame rail with no deck.

 

Pretty much got an easy load here. 99,000 pound mill roll. What makes these interesting is the way they are wrapped for shipping. The whole roll is coated in that blue pre-lube and then wrapped in plastic. I'll leave it to the imagination how this can react during any sudden driving reaction. We have special trailers for these but this is a 'hot' load and I was in the area.

 

The blue stuff is probably cosmoline, commonly known as Smurf jizz

 

Moved a little 450 today.

 

Man, I wish I had easy access to my securement equipment. A little jealous...

 

I keep everything but my straps on the trailer.
