    I loaded main load ( machinery 16k 15ft sitting next to step ) and partial ( 24ft steel bars 13k ) ...have offer for another partial ( steel bucket 15ft , 13k ) ... thinking about putting it on the crane blocks above steel bars or move bars on one side ...what would be the proper position for this load ?!

    Ok, I would keep everything centered. Don't move the bars, it will ride funny and prolly want to walk. Plus it will prolly make your trailer lopsided. Since the bucket is light and the bars are short. Block up the bucket and put it on top of the bars. From the pic, I would put the back of the bucket in front of the first axle. That way it starts at the first axle to 15ft in front of it.
