I Wonder What The MOT Would Say On This Load

All I can say is not on my trailer.

 

That rail car is probably in excess of about 30,000. Notice he did not have the hydraulic pump big enough to do a dead lift in center although he tried. (Note busted window in center)

I know what a 6 yard bucket CAT 936 can do, Ive done it. But this thing is a poor way to load. Botched all around with increasing damage as far as I am concerned. I might even go far as to state that trailer is not suitable for that particular load.

 

that rail car was going to the scrapyard, how it gets loaded really doesn’t matter. i would also refuse loading if it were my trailer.

my very first trip in a truck was a similar situation. we had to run out in the sticks to recover a drill rig that had very slowly tumbled down a mile long hill. it was an old aardco chassis, non articulating. it was a mess. we used a huge excavater to load it and clean up the pieces. it took forever bc the crash site was so far off the road. cool experience, though. they ended up pulling that old detroit engine and putting it in another chassis. those things were tough as nails.

 

I'd like to see pictures of the aluminum deck after all that turning and sliding.

 

It was hauled by Jacks Trucking but I could not see a DOT number anywhere on the truck and it looked like there were only three pieces of securement. The length alone you need 4.
