Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Did that big one near the back come off the pallet? I used to haul loads like that all the time and HATED them! Most of the time the plates would still have cutting oil all over them from being drilled so you can bet they'd be slippery and want to slide... Our guys would hardly ever use bands or if they did, they'd do a terrible job. Shrink wrap was usually my friend...

 

so, I get told i have to go pick up some 2'x2' concrete pads. They use them for oil and gas stations for supporting pipes and such. like you'd put under a landing gear, but concrete.

I'm thinking, OMG, there's going to be a million of these on one trailer and it's going about a 100 miles including 15 miles of goat trail errr dirt road to some big old compressor station they are building. Turns out they put them on pallets so that's going to be at least easier to load.

So I go get loaded up.


yep, that's the whole load
That's like 6000lbs, but still that's the whole load.

 

My load to get me home for memorial day. 400 miles round trip. 12 pounds.

 

not enough securement on there driver...

 

Headed for the Ford dealership in Thomaston Maine

 

How long is that load?

 

You’re right. Technically I needed 3 straps for that 12’ long piece. They are lucky I even put one on there. It’s in a QuickDraw for Pete’s sake.

 

All jokes aside, I'd honestly be concerned with it twisting under the one strap.

 

All those parts been in random places all over the shop ...i had to think about best way to arrange them on trailer , ....that piece guy brought out when i was done securing

 

It wasn't heavy enough to twist. It was 1 12’x1”x1” piece of aluminum angle. I carried it to the door and handed it to the receiving guy.
