    Can you block up around the bolts coming down so the weight isn't so focused? Prolly take some rather stout timbers, 6x8 or something similar stacked up.
    I don't haul frac valves- but I don't like having concentrated weight in small focused areas.

    ^^^^ What he said. They're outrigger pads and you can get them in any size you want even round.

    i have carried 5 of these since 2010
    Super Dolly Pads, Trailer Pads, RV Pads
    these are 15"x17"x1" and weigh 6#
    they will support 50,000# each as dolly pads
    if more than legal weight on the drives I would
    use 2 per side with 2 24" oak 4x4 blocks to bridge them.

    they are made in Canada so if you can try to have a Canuck pick up some for you (or you can try to buy some from a Canadian company driver if you see them strapped to his deckplate)
     
    passingthru69 and Lepton1 Thank this.

    Well, I was wondering if you could maybe put a 6x6 on either side of there.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    It would be unstable on the side that's shaped like a cylinder. Either a 2' x 2' hardwood plywood or dense rubber mat would provide a more stable base. There's so many different sizes and shapes of fracking equipment it could overwhelm the already full dunnage rack if I attempted to block them.
