This super load came unhooked between the trailer and the jeep. Load weighed 160k and the total gross weight of the unit was 258,000.
We kept it pretty simple, using two Century 70/35's and we approximated the lift to be about 80,000

Did you have to walk around for hookup or did your co-worker do it for you? Hopefully you didn't have to climb the fence and use a blanket like a thief
would. LOL

Am I seeing that right? The further the boom goes out the more money. LOL
Always take the rookie along and make him drag all the chains along and see if he figures out it is easier to load everything on the hooks before booming over the fence. I love training new guys in a controlled environment. Nice rigging and good looking truck.

being a mechanical detach trailer why couldn't the driver simply Re back under the neck? To close to the fence? And 80-95K would have been my best guess on
max weights.
Other than that looks pretty good from here |

I see how it is now, show just your truck and not mine. To answer Dualie's question, trailer neck had jump over frame rail of jeep. There was no choice but
to lift and pull neck back over to center of fifth wheel (pic 2). If you notice in pic 2 the frame rail is bent do to weight of load. In pic 4 you will notice
that the rollers on trailer neck are not even close to being on slide rails. By the way the other truck being used is also a KENWORTH and the operater has been
in training for eight years. All and all job went very smooth and customer was very happy with service he received. By the way thanks for letting me help you,
know I always enjoy a challenge and good company. THANKS POPS.

Easy the only picture with your truck was you leaning on trailer with the pain of your back all over. Tug wanted to put it on i said no. Tug wrote caption but
as always when i need help your my call. Yes the chain's went over fence on the wire rope.Also correct in the more reach the more it cost.
