Eleven Foot Eight wins again. Thanks for the update.
That hoist drum is on there pretty sturdy-like
12'-4".
I like 11'8"+8"
Yeah, the railroad raised it a bit, used to be 11'8", lol
When are these idiots gonna learn to READ THE SIGNS and KNOW your machine Height?
Not only that, but how about you slow down a little bit before you go under it anyway, just in case…
Yep. Used to catch a box truck a month. It's on a much more stringent diet since it was raised above 12'.
it was getting high aluminum-cholesterol
I had the opposite problem, the sign was wrong for the posted height, the county poured a layer of concrete over the old concrete and then never updated the sign to show the lower overall height. I crawled up to the overpass and things didn't look right, so trusty grade rod in hand, I got out and measured it, sure enough, 8 inches lower than the posted height and I was then too tall to make it under. In the meantime plenty of commuters came along and I was blocking the road and it took the police to route traffic so I could back the mile up and out to avoid hitting the overpass. I usually try to drive the route empty I'm going to take loaded so I can measure things when nobody is around and I'm not blocking anything later on, that time I didn't do that. The only signs I somewhat trust are those posted on the interstate, all the rest, especially those done by the county I try to measure especially after road work has been done recently.
One of three ways to get to the west side of my town is a short underpass under some tracks, posted at 2" ABOVE my height. I have yet to try it......, call me a sissy i don't care. I love/hate that YouTube channel with the killer bridge, better them than me.
