    Egg modulation? o_O

    How much wattage does that take and what’s the SWR when it’s done? :biggrin_25523:

    Nothing like tarping a 34 ft load of compressed cotton, 60 on floor standing upright, 3 parallel on the top at tail, and the odd few
    2 to 5 or 6 rolled forward. (Loaded 62 to 70 typical.) Tarp was one piece and MaHaffey Bros Tent and Awning, Mphs, TN heavy.
    Fork truck set it aside on dock, loaded you, set it on top at back, you pulled out in the yard, climbed up, unrolled it fwd, dropped sides off, got down and walked around tying the 4 ft grass ropes attached. No bungees then. 30 min from pull out of pit to get in and go. If raining. unrolled and let drape while pull out. Cooler tie down, but wetter.
    At unloading, crawled up and pulled flaps to a center fold. then rolled to back. Unloaders set it aside till off, then moved back on up near nose. Tucked your bed chains (2) and binders in to a flap, threw the top chain over and bound down. Might slip a padlock on binder handle hole to a chain link to deter theft. Go home..


    @Judge
    Anyone on here remember when the compresses stripped off a few pieces of the old tin siding, skilled sawed in 36 feet of flooring, and made a loading slot you backed into. Tight, say 6 " each side. Nice, except the ground underneath would get wallowed out and rough, so later concrete it.

    They do that with lumber on rail cars.
    Apparently they have MUCH better forklift ops than the typical hammer head at docks now...
