Some Big Hauls.

admin

I'm not doing much now, so I've had time to look over some of K'kins older pics too.She works near a highway intersection that sees a lot of big heavy stuff going through.  Mostly because there's no overhead obstructions on that stretch of road.  Somebody did some WELDING hereIt took her two pics to get the entire rig.  Two pulling trucks, and two pushers."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:I am kind of surprised at the angle of the connecting bars for the pushers. One would think the rear pusher would want to push the next trucks rear end up and make it loose traction?12v battery, jumper cables, and a 6013.I only have a facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/VPT/244788508917829
Reply:I'd like to know how they get any weight on the rear (and front) axles of that tower trailer.
Reply:Weight is probably being applied to the center of gravity of the trailer. That way all wheels load approximately equally..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Lots of time those back trucks are for extra braking when going down hills
Reply:Glad y'all enjoyed the pics.  Kelly is a true babe in her own right.  She sees these things, calls me on the phone to see if I can get over there, then if I can't, she takes the pics on her camera.  I'm very lucky, and I really don't know how to keep her 100% happy all the time.  She says she is, and I hope she's not just saying what I want to hear."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Samm, do I detect a soft spot in you?  Who would have known.  Best regards Bob
Reply:Being as the axles are hydraulic suspension type, I'd imagine that weight can be distributed using hydraulic pressure to each axle cylinder.  This way, the forward and rearmost axles can be placed in "load" hydraulically.  Simply a matter of increasing "down pressure" I'd imagine.  Somebody might actually know better how it's done."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:WOW...good stuff
Reply:On the tower trailer the wheels are self leveling so they keep the loads distributed among them equally they are also 360deg steerableVantage 500's LN-25's, VI-400's, cobramatics, Miller migs, synch 350 LX, Powcon inverters, XMT's, 250 Ton Acurrpress 12' brake, 1/4" 10' Atlantic shear,Koikie plasma table W/ esab plasmas. marvel & hyd-mech saws, pirrana & metal muncher punches.
