Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

IDK, I'm gonna guess...the raising mechanism for a drawbridge?

 

Scissor-lift bridges - Greiner-Heavy

 

I just want to play with a 4 axle steerable
Parameter trailer a few times. That’s pretty crazy stuff.

 

That is it.

The load being transported is only what you see inside the square cage-looking component.

Similar to this are Schnabel units, which come in both road as well as rail:

Road .... Trail King Schnable Neck Trailers | Papé Machinery Construction & Forestry
Rail ...... Industrial History: Schnabel Freight Car for Long/Heavy Loads.

It's all about spreading the massive weight, and they are wicked cool

 

Spent all day yesterday loading this module in Houston. Heading for NC.

12'9"W x 58'L 93'L overall

 

You bounced all the way from home to Houston??

 

I did. I tried to find a little something to take down with me to at least cover the fuel but ran out of time. Truck was at the dealer for 2 weeks trying to find an ABS issue. They finally figured out the ABS module is junk on Tuesday but I had to leave Wednesday. It's going right back to them when I'm done with this project. Gonna be bouncing back to Houston from NC for another piece.

 

an easy start to a hopefully busy season. Idk why but this winter has been completely dead despite having fairly mild weather…I actually rented the trailer out to a friend who was running it otr hauling mostly coils i believe.
Nothing really special about this load other than there was no other way to load it where I picked it up and therefore it ended up on a lowboy. It’s supposed to weigh around 10k and is generally pretty small. Heading to an auction yard in the morning.

 

I will keep an eye out for you in Houston. I’m heading down with a laughable piece for Johnson Space Center later in this week.

 

I should be unloading tomorrow so if everything goes to plan I'll probably be back that way on Thursday or Friday.
