Handy Trailer

Company has a Landoll tilt deck . I don't think the manufacturer had this in mind when they built it but it worked . Company used Flexi floats (modular barges) for a bridge repair job at Smithville lake . All were 20 footers but one . 40 footer was too heavy for the crane on site (34,000 lbs) so the Boss came up with this plan . The axles travel on this trailer so I was able to keep them out of the water while picking the float up . I did unplug the lights while doing this

    Interesting use of a boat ramp.

    gotta watch what your doing with those, a friend sent a driver out to pick up a loaded sea can off a jobsite and bent the living HELL out of the axle slider rams. Remember kids try and level the deck out before you slide the axles.

    That section weighs 38,000 lbs . My little ole boom can't touch that
