Trailer Weight: Post Yours!

Company flatbeds are 10 year old Lode Kings 48' x 102" closed tandems with a steel frame, steel wheels, aluminum rub rail, and a wood floor.

They weigh 10,500 lbs

 

Carrier bought 15 last year, 15 last month. Need to swap out the few steel closed tandems they have left. Sucks for the guys that do 5 boroughs 2-3 times a day.

 

Do they have dump valves? You would think those guys would ask for some closed tandems to atleast save on tires. I wish my company used ritenours, were stuck with these junk manacs...

 

They do indeed have dump valves. I have to rewire my secondary pigtail for them to work, the new trailers have to have a constant hot centerpin on the primary pigtail for the abs...but that works with the secondary pigtail for the dump valve. Maintenance supervisor explained it to me, not sure if I reexplained it well :/ mine worked on the older trailers w dump valves, I'm used to not using it so I'll do it when I feel I have to have it.
I guess the sliders they had were on lease, which is up. Would have been nice to keep a few around for city only, but somehow they seem to work their way out, then someone ends up loading over 52k on them (they are all steel, like 13,500) and sends a pic of the scale ticket to safety to prove a point lol (not me!) oh well, I prefer a spread anyway.

 

PS 13,500lbs is a 48x102 flat, transcraft all steel, apitong floor, steel wheels, 16 winches w straps and a 4' steel headboard, with 2 8' lumber tarps.

 

Two axle, XL 70 MDE, extendable RGN - 18,760 lbs.

 

Wide base tires or regular tires?

 

Wilson 53ft by 102 two tarps 14 winches all aluminum around 13k

 

Little over 42,000# for the trailer...LAMO!!!
Yes I'm serious.

48' x 102 with 20' in the well...
