Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Hahahahahahahahaha

 

Seriously

For what I quoted, I will definitely screw with it if necessary

 

Maybe this will be helpful Ron. I am not sure what vintage you are talking about hauling, but here is the specifications on a 631G.
I suspect with the tapered neck that you have and what appears to be a long deck, you may be able to load it with the rear of the scraper on the bolsters between your 2nd and 3rd trailer axle, and be able to clear the neck with the front bumper of the scraper. With the cutting edge on the deck the front will raise quite a bit. The problem may be that you hit the tires on your front trailer axle with the bottom of the pan before you get the cutting edge on the deck.
The largest scraper that I have hauled is a 621, but it was on a short deck trailer and things worked out ok. The hardest part is getting it backed on good and straight, especially if the brakes are not so good (as seems to be the norm with scrapers).

Good luck getting the load!

 

Based on the length - the rear tire will be on the rear bolster behind the third axle if it fits. I will measure in the morning.

This one will be a learning opportunity for sure. I will post photos if I get it, they have 8 to move so there is a reasonable chance

 

We use 12x12 blocks under the cutting edge but on top of the blocks we use those plates from the railroad that they drive the spikes through to protect the blocks. A lot lighter than steel blocks. 1" plate steel is all it is.

 

Ours are flat decks that get used for the scrapers We don't go all the way across the trailer. We use 4 blocks, 2 on the center frame rails and 2 on the outside frame rails. all of our lowboy trailers have some of these plates in the neck for whatever.

 

Hey Ron, did this one in Jan '13. Was a factory p/u. I'll pull the load sheet in a bit and give you all the loaded weight & dim info from it. (Was wider than customer told us)
This was on 37' of rail, but as you can see it could be done shorter. My back 7' section is 4' of rail, 3' of deck which is why I kept it a little forward. If I recall you have 26'? I have seen them loaded on both 25' & 30' before.
Your neck will be too high to try put the horse over it, but as you can see with deck the horse wil clear the transition.
Update edit:
I have 12'-10"W X 14'-10"H wrote down. I have never hauled one on a deck, so I can't tell you how much height difference. Hypothesizing here; a deck would raise the horse, but lower the bowl as my rail is 19" & my deck is 16" and that is where the bowl sits.
Scaled Weights were 15520, 40060, 39120, 41060, 40860 Gross 176,620 full fuel. I tare about 68-68500 with 37' of rail, which puts the payload around 108,500.
To help keep the height down, make sure they drop the banana. That is the piece on the top where the bowl & horse join that looks like.....well, a banana.
Hope that helps...

 

Well it's not a 631 and doesn't pay as well but it is work and is headed to CA
