The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

That looks like a new machine, they let it go out on that.

 

Pretty sure Komatsu doesn't build dozers in the US. That almost certainly came from a port. They do not care what the load looks like or how legal it is. As long as you have a dock receipt and can follow their directions they'll let you do whatever you want.

Having hauled out of a Komatsu manufacturing plant they do care about shipping things in a safe and legal way. They've kicked out companies before for trying to cut corners and use under rated equipment. If that shipped from a US based manufacturing plant they wouldn't have let him out the gate.

 

Eff it, chain it and go! Hammer down and to hell with the scale house.

That trailer will hold the world, concentrated weight be dammed.

 

Razororange sorta answered it, but more directly, no, coil packages are designed to take the concentrated weight from a 4-10 foot span and distribute it out, with much (or all) of the weight being between the beams

This
1. has all the weight on the outriggers
2. Is loaded significantly outside the 10 foot reinforced location, so even the weight being distributed from the outside is actually being distributed *towards* the center point (and vice versa)
3. This is an all aluminum, much of the strength comes from its camber, with that much negative camber, its ability to hold the weight is being stretched towards its absolute failure point.
4. Do NOT buy this trailer even if it springs back after this, overloading aluminum frames is a good way to have sudden failure long after the overloading happened

 

Would like to see the unloading if he's planning on using his ramp kit.

 

Just pull forward when the trailer breaks ..
instant RGN.

 

Well tisk tisk tisk.

 

It got on there SOMEHOW

 

Willing to bet he used a loading ramp at shipper.

 

Not really a hall of shame, but a good example of why you should dump the trailer suspension before pulling out. Or use 2×6 wood.
