Thoughts on efficiency

When you get a chance, I'd like to know what your trailer weighs. I was looking at them, and I think that's what I want my next one to be. I don't really care about the upper deck. So I'll prob opt for just a neck.

 

One of our local companies has a TK110, 60" spacings, I think 111" swing 25' of deck and it weighs just over 23,000. Or so he says.

 

I want a 45 ton

wow That is not bad I think a 55 ton Fontaine is around 26. I would like one as close to 20 as I can get.

 

I think my 45 to Talbert was around 21, I'll look when I get home if my drawings are there. That was a drop side, 108" swing, 60" spread, 25' well and one bolster.

 

Thanks guys! Don't put yourselves out. Just when you get a chance.

 

My 40 ton mechanical with flip is just shy of 20. I wasn't sure what the hydro would add. I like my 29' well, but could get by with 26.

 

I use Google Street view and "drive" the route on the internet checking the clearance signs and looking for no truck routes, tight corners, single lane two way streets, electric street car tracks etc etc It sometimes takes hours to find a route for the last couple of miles in Toronto or Montreal.
