Load Distribution Hitches

Trusses are triangular shaped support beams that attach point-side down to the roadbed of the bridge on either side. This structure distributes the force of the weights to the bridge. These bridges are a lot like beam bridges, but stronger and it is perfect for heavy loads and small distances. In addition, triangular trusses will work, but will drastically decrease the weight or load your bridge can hold. (To make your bridge even stronger, attach short pieces of spaghetti to the points of the trusses to make small triangles - trusses for the trusses.) Also, the triangular shape is the best method of construction than rectangular shape as there is no bending because the bridge is strong.

This gives you the ability to configure the placement on your truck to suit your needs. There is a four-inch adjustment capability from front to back, and it has two coupler positions. This durable hitch fits on all standard mounting rails, which means it fits a number of trucks as long as they have the towing capacity necessary for your load. You can get a universal mounting rail that is sold separately. It fits on most beds, and it has a 31.5-inch by 24-inch deep footprint. It has a weight of 95 pounds and the coupler weighs 52

At Flat Bed Haul, we recognize that one of the challenges facing the fright service industry involves hauling oversized loads on flat bed trucks. As such, we always ensure that when any oversized freight cargo is being transported to a location; such loads are carefully placed on our flatbed trailers and properly secured to prevent any damage to the cargo during shipment. The axles of our flatbed trailers come with multiple configurations that allow us to carry several tons of oversized freight loads with greatest care and

These scales are easy to install and can be used on any type of tractor and trailer, either individually or in tandem. This small device is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors that provide weights that are within 1% of the its actual weight. Additionally, the monitor will calculate the number of lifts, weight of each lift and keeps a complete lift history for later access. The benefit of this technology is that it allows the driver to check the weight of his, or her, load anytime it's convenient from the security and comfort of the

If you have too much tongue weight in relation to your gross trailer weight, it could cause the hitch of the trailer and the rear axle of your truck to dip, and the front of the trailer will go toward the ground, which in turn brings the front of the truck off of the road. If your truck dips too far, such as in circumstances when you need to brake suddenly, you could easily lose all braking traction and steering control of the tires on your front axle, which could potentially lead to disaster.

When it comes to towing, few accessories are more valuable than fifth wheel hitch rails. After all, without a rail, your fifth wheel hitch is unable to firmly attach to your truck, making it virtually impossible to conduct a successful tow. But as the team at Champion Trailer in Jacksonville, AR, explains, not all fifth wheel hitch rails are quite the same. Indeed, the varied characteristics of this essential towing accessory is one of its best attributes.

Nearly everything you see in stores and even in your home was, at some point, transported overland by a truck. Tractor-trailer rigs in particular, haul cargo over longer distances than those covered by local delivery trucks. Because of this, they carry much heavier loads and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. This makes them 20 to 30 times heavier than the average car.

Doing this could save you lots of dollars when it’s time to return the vehicle if it is a leased one. It also preserves the value of your vehicle by keeping the mileage low. Flatbed towing is a much safer alternative to regular dolly towing because all four wheels are elevated, your vehicle is protected from any hazards that may take place during transport. Flatbed towing does not require us to hoist your vehicle, which also helps us to preserve the condition of your vehicle if it has suffered considerable damage from an accident. Some vehicles may be in awfully bad conditions that wouldn’t permit us to make use of a regular dolly, especially where the frame has suffered substantial damage. In such instances, flatbed towing is a

Most sedans are designed for stability. Their low center of gravity means they can take corners at high speeds without fear of rolling over (although they may skid out of control). Semi-trucks however, are designed to carry freight. This makes them top-heavy and more prone to rollovers. Another complication is that a truck's freight affects stability. A trailer loaded full of heavy freight is more top-heavy than a partially loaded one. Therefore, the driver must take his trailer load into account when rounding a corner.

Your truck’s drive shaft helps your truck shift from idling to driving without any issues. Unfortunately, the weight you are towing with a truck can cause problems with the drive shaft’s performance. Since a drive shaft will slowly deteriorate, it will be hard to identify a malfunctioning

The pickup and delivery time needs to be relatively quick in order for the drivers to have more time on the road. Using smaller trailers such as two 28 footers, as opposed to one 53 footer can make things easier when it comes to loading and unloading them. If the customer has two or more docks available, the driver can also unhook one of the two trailers at another dock to get both downloaded simultaneously. In addition to using the two 28 footers, it would greatly benefit the Hardee Transportation Company to train their drivers on how to load and unload the trailers on their own if the customer is not readily available to load/unload upon arrival. If they know ahead of time that

c. The main trailer for moving components is a properly maintained and manufactured device with brakes and a safe working load (20 tonne) clearly marked; however there is a smaller device which is obviously manufactured in house and used for moving long heavy pieces of metal( 2-3 tonne) that has no brakes,swl and quite frankly does not look up to the job.
