What's it like transporting heavy equipment?

here’s one for comparison loader vs hoe on the same stepdeck OS load by a few inches. We used to haul 210 on this trailer but now we are limited to 180’s and lower. This is a 160.

Good question @TripleSix. Please do tell. I’m here to gain as much knowledge as I can.

 

I have no idea, If i were to take a stab at it , I thought permit loads had to be non divisible loads... id say if it was 10ft wide and couldnt be broken down further then yes you could get a permit for it... but like i said im just shooting in the dark here and hope im wrong so u could take us to school

 

The scale ticket. Pardon my ineptness of technology and my non texting thumbs

 

Permitted loads do have to be non divisible. But it depends on what it’s permitted for. Width, weight, height, length. You can’t stack 2 crates 5ft wide side by side and get a permit for width. You can’t stack two 7ft tall crates on top of each other and get permitted for height. You can’t put a 10000 mini escavator on your wagon along with a 40000 lb escavator and get an overweight permit.

So, the answer is YES, @shawnhhllc could permit that load for over width. Makes sense?

 

Yes makes sense , thanks . Lets say that same tractor also put him overweight. So we could get an over width permit, being 10ft wide , but NOT an over weight permit , being that u could remove one of the other pieces of equipment to make ur gross weighht legal. Correct?

 

Correct!

 

Correct, generally speaking over 80K cannot be a divisible load. Some states, like MN, will make exceptions if it is part of the only machine you're hauling and the loose parts are removed to reduce a dimension.

 

Indivisible load means a load which cannot without undue expense or risk of damage be divided into two or more loads for the purpose of conveyance on a road.

So things like RT cranes can be transported 'as is' pretty much. Less extra counter weights of course...

 

yes sir makes perfect sense. thanks please continue to teach us your ways
