Let me start by saying I know nothing about semi tractors and moving larger equipment then skid steers and backhoe loaders.
I have recently looked on truck paper at some semi tractors just to see what was around. I saw that they gave the axle ratings. Say you had a Kenworth W900. The rear axles are rated at 46,000 pounds and the front axles are rated at 13,200. This is a rating that I saw a few times. You will have a combined axle rating of 59,200 pounds.
A new cat 329D L weighs 64,460 pounds. If you had that Kenworth W900 your machine would be heavier then your combined axle rating. Does this mean that you will not be able to safely move a cat 329D L with that truck? Thansks guys.
