MACKTRUCKS4 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know how you guys like pictures. 338 tires, 418 tires when the outriggers are deployed. 2 trucks pulling and 3 pushing. 1 Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

Rob Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 If you look closely, all the tires have "squish" to them. That is heavy.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

ThaddeusW Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If you look closely, all the tires have "squish" to them. That is heavy.RobYou should see how they size the tires for the load. Those are only small 17.5's designed to carry a little over 4000 lbs at HIGHWAY speeds. But since these monster setups rarely go over 5MPH, you can put a hell of a lot more weight on a tire at lower speeds. I believe those tires are carrying somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000+ pounds! Read that in a brochure from Nicolas, a company that builds those types of hydraulic platform trailers. Those trailer also self level front to back and side to side. so going up an incline, the trailer will have the front most axles low to the ground while the rear most axles are extended. Also same for side-side. Wild stuff. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

It is something to watch them cross a ditch with a house and it stay perfectly level.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Greg Rider Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 What is that vessel they are moving? Is it a new septic tank part for Rob? Maybe a diaper recycle machine for Fred's boy!
