West Coast seven axle configurations.

So that setup there I see the neck comes off the jeep does it go on the main trailer when not using the jeep?

 

Yes. in 15 minutes. I bought a spare short neck and used it on the jeep, then I could move scrapers with the jeep & dolly while the other truck pulled the 16 wheel lobed. I also hauled the USFS TD-18 on just the jeep to get around those forest service roads.

 

So you pulled the fifth wheel and used it to haul scrapers?

 

A new Loadmaster is probably gonna run $225K? Just a wild guess. But you can get a long deck, short, 8-6 wide 10' wide, hyd tower. lots of options. BUT, getting a 60 ton excavator "up the neck" on a short deck is exciting. And the counterweight gets high.

 

Mine was. 24 5/8 bolts. But I had no hydraulics.

 

Yes.

 

Very interesting how we do things different in different parts of the country.
