Big Loads - Post Photos

Critters, was that you parked in the overlook just north of Dodge city,Ks. Wens. evening?
Saw the ld. there as we came into town.
Found a spot here at the sinking hook.
Feel like a redheaded step child with all the reefer trks. and bull racks..

Backing in 11axle to 1 piece Sub 110,000 lbs



Loaded & hauled 192k gross



Mud pump gross around 220k



Backing up ramp, loading draw tool / Derrick combo, on 16 wheeler, gross 225k



A-Legs section of Derrick 33' wide dirt road haul, no power lines, hence saved time not lowering supports

 

I have had the 124 come into my hometime airport to pick up various helicopters and such. Air Bridge Cargo is Volga Dnepr which operate the Antonov 124's. Very nice photos. I always favor the 124's as they are lower to the ground versus the 744F/744ERF 748F's.

Colorado Green,

Congrats on being our youngest heavy hauler. I think you should have your thread about your adventures. You ever consider going to AK and driving for Carlisle??

CG I'm sure he'll be along to correct me but that wheeler looks old enough that it has a slide in neck extension rather than a flip.

8x8 those peerless trailers sure are nice huh. I used to pull the purple one you guys have now and it was the best oilfield trailer I was ever under. One question though why didn't you drop your booster to crawl under the sub they are so easy to put on?

 

I had it all connected in yard before leaving, so just air down the booster, locked the steering and backed under it, always like backing up with a jeep, because I learned the hard way, so few people can do it.
Peerless are now Scona, so the new Scona's are mostly Peerless with some Scona designs features, they are 1 of best oilfield trailers out there, Gerry's 2nd & Aspen 3rd

 

Neck extension was a pin on, the shop Fab/Welder had to rework its attachments as I ran this ext' in the trailer all the time, when winching heavy loads, the extension was folding up with the stress until the pins were reworked.

FYI I left Hemphill-Speedy when they became TForce so these are all older pics
