Heavy Hauling a 657E

down southern cal. they do this at night .you puto's

yeah and your fuckin` trailers weigh 15k more than ours do when I pulled over the road I ran a 8 axle setup with a fontaine beam trailer, truck was a 4 axle t800 stretched to 35 feet entire setup weighed 51,000 pound I was puling 9 to light 13 axle freight I have a canadian friend who has an entyre lowboy and she leaves her stinger axle at home because she cant put heavy weight on it she mostly pulls truck bodys out of texas to canada and pulls oilfield equipment back down

@corvettehh The float trucks here are K-whoppers...

@clovakid wow, K Line is now made in China eh? Well yes, quality will decline I am sure. Didn't know that fact. Those K Line ore/fuel trailers are original, I am sure one of K Lines 1st big contracts.

@gangesexcavating Kline low beds have been having an increasingly worse and worse and worse and worse rep, because they have a factory in China now. And Knight never went out of business. The brothers just formed Kline, out of knight. Then the brothers had there differences and now Kline is back in business, they're currently finishing an 90 ton low bed. They still build dump boxes, and transfers. They just fly under the radar and select their clientele carefully. But they'll build anything.

@clovakid Im not here to say whats good or bad about K Line. I know their ore,fuel combo trailers 50 ton capacity off-highway trailers Lomak ran on the Kemess Mine haul were bombproof. They ran 23 trucks, 24 hrs a day for 14 years, 478 km one-way haul on logging road north of Mackenzie BC. Not one trailer had a flaw in that time. They were 10`wide 50 ton tridem trailers that a tridrive Western Star pulled. You want to see demanding roads, then go where we go. KLine hung in there.

@clovakid Then they are not in business as Knight (original) company we went through this certifying our 1981 40 detachable neck Knight booster. The kingpins have excessive shaft play, too much for CVIP standards, we were hooped. New kingpins from Knight dont exist. We were informed that Knight Trailers (proper) was not is business anymore, therefore no parts. We had to get the specs from a 1984 microfiche film from Nanaimo Berk's Intertruck to prove the tolerances were in spec.

@gangesexcavating Knight trailers is not out of business, and K line is garbage.

@gangesexcavating Counterweight off, buckets on. 850s have q/a so the buckets go on the smaller float with the counterweight.

@vantagetes ok, well 85 metric tons is real heavy for a one-piece move. Do you drop the counterweights. Good lowbeds age like a fine wine as the years go by provided they are`not treated like a wornout old whore, don`t abuse them, they will go so far and treat you so well. Canadian lowbed maufacturers have some really good equipment. Look at the contrast between US made Cozad or Talbert JUNK versus Canadian made K-Line or Aspen. Too bad Knight Manufacturing (proper original) went out of busines

@gangesexcavating I think I've seen that video. And yes it's an Aspen. Need a bigger one though we can't move our 385s or 850s!

REAL CANADIAN LOWBED WORK, YANKEES TAKE NOTE This looks like an Aspen trailer setup. I can`t believe what Yankees get away with down south there is a video on YT of a Komatsu PC650-1 getting loaded on a city street in the USA what a gongshow, only thing missing is the clowns driving the little Shriner`s cars

@broken4813 2+2+2

3+3+3 ???

@vantagetes haha i think he means the stoplights are sideways because most lights in the states are vertical and not horizontal

@69adrummer You lost me on that one...

Your stop lights...yeah, they're umm.....crooked.

@anewbeggining21 Operating weight of 160,623 lbs

@UAL012 We used to load them the other way and then they switched around this year. I think it balances on our trailers a little better this way.

That's unusual to see any kind of scraper being loaded with the cab facing backwards. I've loaded a lot of different scrapers and it's always been backing them on. A year or so ago, I had to load an older 627B with no brakes onto a lowboy because the driver was scared to death. Talk about something that makes you need a beer later. lol
