2011 Load King Hydro folding tail 48' step deck. Steel frame and traction plates, apitong wood on main deck, 20k winch and a cage over the winch with a tool box in it. With 10 3/8" chains, 18 binders, and a box full of straps, I sit at 19,800 lbs empty. 19500 as it came from the factory with steel rims. Not a money make for anyone other than specalized flatbed on the local scene, and not even great for that.

When did you buy a nice new maxmiser?

 

It was a mechanical, so much lighter and someone beatme to it.
