Transporting an excavator and ICF's for my Dad

[@AndrewCamarata]

There are some cool caves off the trail where you turned around getting that excavator.

[@sherylwheeler3873]

yes there are, and I will be exploring them someday soon...

[@jmuller86]

thats good to know. seems like there is a lot of history in that area

It wasn't a u-turn officer. You can clearly see that he was turning left from that parking lot. If your mind has no more deductive reasoning or abilities than that, maybe you should find another career. I suggest door greeter at Walmart or maybe peanut packer for amazon. You're welcome. 🤣

As someone who lives in CT.... the DOT cops are everywhere and the state is in every small business owners back pocket for anything they can take from you..... 100% agree on it’s easier and way less expensive than paying the fines you could potentially have to pay because you weren’t legal.... keep up the good work 🇺🇸

[@anthonyoer4778]

@@montiro8999 law enforcement for Department of Transportation... Fines for safety, lights, weights anything hauling on state roads and highways. In Connecticut truckers actively communicate to each other to avoid traps and stops.

[@marcfournier823]

".... going to pick up an excavator from my daddy. ..." the perfect son. Your mom and dad will always be mom and dad and that is as it should be. Loading that excavator on a taller trailer would have been terrifying. Floats with loaded skiddesr used to get hung up coming out of my drive way all the time. Several tandem loads of gravel sorted the issue out. However the highway was resurfaced and widened since so if we were moving floats in and out now we'd be back with the same issues. You need a big container shop in that field. 2x bigger than Andrew's at least.

[@johnblake3863]

I'd never "noticed" this type of trailer before. Thanks for the lessons. It is amazing.

Very nice to watch you learn as you go with the Tractor and what you are hauling. You learn all the tricks as you go and they will stick with you. I never hauled low boys or other names for them .

I have loaded a Hitachi 120 on a deckover before. After loading on lowboy trailers prior, deckovers are just another hurdle to jump. And when you have to load extra buckets into the dump truck, the rocking gets unnerving.

Always great content here. Variety and and quality. Thanks for another one.

[@waynep343]

don't forget that when you eventually replank the low boy.. you want the planks to stick up above the steel to give the excavator treads the most traction. i would like to know if you have any truck bed liner spray companies in your area.. might be able to sand blast the loading ramps and the top of the side rails.. and apply truck bed liner to them.. i don't know if that would be more rip resistant than conveyor belt.. but it would NOT require any holes to be drilled to mount it. you could use anchor bolt epoxy to mount the conveyor belt sections to the sand blasted deck surface.. you would have to use a layer of foam sheathing then plywood clamped tight to hold the conveyor belt while the epoxy cures for the best application. you could bolt down full width lengths of conveyor belting to the wood decking with the edge hanging over the side rails again to give the excavator track pads the best grip on the trailer.

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

you really should buy (or build) a dump trailer - like a 30 ton or a 35 ton with big wide tires for low ground pressorure so it doesnt sink while driving off road, if you put tirechains on two axles of the semitruck tractor you got yourself a quasi offroad dumptruck for cheap i know someone that used some heavy haul semitruck axles to build a offroad dump trailer, made it all out of strips of sheet steel, giant U iron from a old airplane hangar roof and thick walled 3 inch diameter liquid gas pipe - either pipeline or pieces of the drilling rig, then he used two of the hydraulic cylinders from a old excavator, a Atlas and a homemade linkage system for the dump hydraulics, also put a flow limiter onto the cylinders so the bed doesnt come crashing down if the hydraulic lines fail - then he put some car or truck engine with a cheap high volume tractorshop hydraulic pump onto the front end of the lower frame... worked for four months after workhours on it and used only abaut 3000$ over all for it - the metall was almost all scrap , he paid scap value for the hydraulic cylinders of the burned out ancient excavator and had to repack them, he paid pound price for the axles, he paid half of new price on used tires with rims. Most of the scrap he collected over the course of half a year, he used 3 phase plasma cutter, several large bottles of Mig welding gas, and abaut two bottles each of acetylene and oxygen for burncuttign the stuff to thick for the plasma torch - like over 0.7 inches - like the plates holding the hydraulic cylinders and some of the frame reinforcements around the hydraulic cylinders as well as the plates for the axles suspension to connect with the frame.

Do you use google maps to get an overview of your arrival destination layout to determine your best approach and parking procedure?

[@infoanorexic]

I have, but mainly determining if the place was gated and if I had a place to get off the roadway if I arrived in the middle of the night (I did delivered trucks for several years). With construction equipment, it's always best to drive it before, know the route is good for what you are hauling. Experience teaches you what hazards to look out for. Hang up points, turns that would be too tight ... low hanging wires and vegetation ...
