Securing 60K lbs of steel

Lol. Good one.

 

with a 48 ft trailer, you don't have enough trailer for this load. you need a 53 ft trailer.

 

30k lbs stacks, I would suggest at least 6 straps per stack plus belly straps. If a chain over the front can be used it certainly wouldn't hurt anything to have it there. Edge protection for your straps.
I assume this set up will be giving you overhang off the rear end, will that be legal in whatever states you are in? Will you have lights/flags as needed?

 

So your going to have 6' of overhang? If I'm reading this right. Some to the front and some to the rear I suppose? and you will have a few inches between front and rear stack. i would like to have a bulkhead in front of that forward stack but probably not feasible or legal in most states to have 7' of rear overhang on a divisible load. Not sure how susceptible the uni strut is to sliding in and out of the stack or if it's locked in pretty good. I would use 5 per stack plus 2 belly wraps per stack.

 

Did you ask them how they fell about a divisible load that's grossing 90k plus?

 

You can have front overhang, you can have rear overhang, but if you are hauling a divisible load you can't be over 75'. So you will need it to be close to the back of the cab I'm thinking, depending on the tractor.

I'm also wondering if you are confused about weight laws. I can't imagine the combination that can legally scale a 60k load in California.

 

Can't be over75' with a divisible load? Says who? I'm 77' with an empty trailer.
