    Has anyone loaded a CAT 313F excavator on a step deck? The broker has it listed as 10'4" height, and my lower deck is 39". My trailer is a 48X96 wide, 10' top deck, 20" single drop, spring ride with fixed tandems at the rear. Anything else I'd need to be concerned with, using that trailer? The math says I'd be at 13'7" high, but I'm looking for real world input. Thanks.

    I was 13’3” with 43” deck height. You will be fine, just make sure you check your height to the hoses so you don’t tear them off

    Load it with the blade forward unlike me and you could Probly tuck the boom better, instead I wasn’t thininking about blade so I just extended the boom out. I took this load across the BQE and onto Long Island. No issues at all.
