Your Lowboy Pictures Wanted

[mikef87]

Hey Nick i hope you took that POS to the scrap yard......

I had one of those, back in the day that was the best machine, but that was back in the day.

Why in the world would you load a 627 foward, my last employer and everyone else I know drive them on and rest the back end on the gooseneck :beatsme

Here's one from today.

No difference in cab height, the tractor sits on the main floor with tires right up against the front trailer axel

oh ok now i see what your saying, to me the deck looks too short to do that IMO

It may be to short our trailers are 55 ton Trail King with 25' decks, anyway it's a pain in the butt to load that way

You guys need a nice Murray proffessional to haul those.

Drive it on over the rear, run it till the front tires hit the gooseneck, and chain it down. That leaves the rear tires on the pad between axles on the trailer, and the nose stuck up between the wide gooseneck rails. It is a 5 minute load.

Maybe Chaz Murray can post some pictures. I don't have any with the scraper.

This trailer is a 53' Muv-All. The sides slide out to 13' and it has a winch in the nose for loading dead equipment.

Here a pic of a large paver been unloaded of my trailer

 

[rigandig]

Here's a little week-end job that turned into a 4 day deal.

 

[-NICK-]

Hey rigndig what is that on your trailer?So what happened ?

 

[rigandig]

That's a backup Genset Nick. What happened was, as best I can figure, there was such a push to get permits (thru emergency channels) that the unladen permit was pushed aside until monday. The job was supposed to be, go load, go unload, then go home. There was a time limit on how long the area could be tied up with large equipment, ie; cranes, forklifts, trk/trls, etc, and the ball being dropped on the unladen permit for me cost me, well them, 2 extra days, not including Sunday. I didn't mind even though I would have rather to have been done on saturday, but my hired help became a bit unsettled after going to the jobsite on Monday only to be told that it was a wasted trip. I had to remind them , they were being paid. Nothing really out of line, just the normal grumbling about some ignorant so and so:Banghead, and well, you've probably heard all that before.

hey rigandig,
what model is your kw in that pic, w900? that's a big radiator, getting up round t800 size?

 

[rigandig]

jared, It is a 1999 W900B. Good eye. The radiator is the same size as a T-800. It was ordered that way, big radiator, big air to air. Lots of extras that aren't found on a normal truck.

 

[jared]

Rigandig, the grill looks a similar size to the T904/950's we have down here, although they may have a touch more height. From my trips to the states I've noticed the big range of hood shapes and sizes each particular model has. Would be great to see some more pics of your rig and it's specs sometime.
