Elphinstone's new Easyloader Long Logger. This unit is 26m long and carries 19m single length loads. 68,000kg Gross Weight giving a 45,000kg Payload www.elph.com.au
The idea of carting longer logs means there is less handling in the bush, faster to load, lower centre of gravity for stability and faster to unload at the mill. Less waste created at the mill because they can better utilise the lengths when cutting. This concept increased productiving overall on this job by around 20%.
WoW! That's long ones! We don't see that here much anymore.. nor the bigger diameter ones... that trailer is Awesome! Specially for that sort of length! Roll on!
In 1972 I drove a Kenworth 848 off road truck that pulled its double axle extendind trailer up like that it had 4 20 ft extensions. The max speed was 30 mph in 15th gear
Tare is 21,740kg which in Queensland, Australia allows a payload of 46,760kg (68,500kg Gross Weight) This unit runs an Elphinstone loadcell based weighing system so they can load to maximum every load without overload.
Cool, so your tare weight is about the same as our 8 axle rigs out here in North Western Ontario, Canada. We haul 65-70000kg gross depending on the time of year and have a tare weights of 18-21 tonne, depending on truck and trailer specs
