@leonhart2452 10 месяцев назад

When i was in my mid 20's, a guy I was working for bought a lowboy trailer like yours. It had about a 3-4 inch sag. The guy who fixed it did as you did except he didn't clamp or weigh down the strap he was welding on. He welded one end and worked his way to the other end. As he welded the strap down he welded a few inches at a time, swapping sides as he went. These welds were about a foot apart. You could see the far end of the strap move sideways a few inches as he made the welds. Welding on the right side move the end left. Weld on the left the end would move right. He worked along and when he got to the other end he had the end line up centered and welded it in. He explained that as the strap move left and right it also got longer. After he welded the far end down and the strap cooled offo it did it's best to return to it's original length. When we got it flipped ribber side down, you could see the trailer didn't sag the 3-4 inches, it bowed up about 5-6 inches. I was amazed by this. Welding the steap on the bottom bent to sag out and bowed the trailer up about 10 inches.

Next time you're putting two layers together, instead of grease, try weld through primer. Makes for a good sealant, and won't bugger your welds up

@wobblysauce 10 месяцев назад

And loader pressing down

@1one3_Racing 10 месяцев назад

@@wobblysauce that's still a total of maybe 15 tonnes. For a trailer designed not to sag with 30 tonnes loaded on it.

@DGHD 10 месяцев назад

yes, but point loads would be spread over 4 points, ose to the ends. putting all the weight in the middle on one point is completely different

@1one3_Racing 10 месяцев назад

@@DGHD yeah, a little. But we had a similar sized loader and chained a 2 tonne concrete block in the bucket and used it to ram 5" bore pipe in the ground as fence posts in Central Queensland. I dented the bottom of the bucket smashing these pipes into the ground! There's not a huge amount of pressure out there.

@carlcarlamos9055 9 месяцев назад

Rich is correct. Trailers are rated at concentrated load in so many feet. Usually 10, 12, 16 feet. Very few trailers are rated in 4 to 5 feet. The longer the length of the rating, the more deflection you will see with a load in a short length of concentration, like a coil. I don’t find a loading concentration spec in their literature. Maybe it’s on the I.d. tag on the neck. In any event, Rich was headed in the right direction. Take care.

@RangieNZ 10 месяцев назад

Been there. Actually cut out and replaced the cross members in a couple of lowboys over the years. One we worked on in our spare time and it took almost a year. But it’s still running 12 years later.

@FishFind3000 10 месяцев назад

Should have used 7024 and used that largest rods your machine can run. The extra heat and larger rods will help give some pull to the weld and help give more bend to the trailer. Plus it will weld faster.

@NathanNostaw 10 месяцев назад

As for the grease, maybe some zerk fittings would have allowed for pumping it in after the welding. A few ground grooves on the surface would help it spread. Weld up the zerk holes or some grub screws after.

@crezychameau 10 месяцев назад

@davidberesford875 10 месяцев назад

hi Rich. I worked for a logistics company in the 1980’s. We rebuilt a couple of our trailers during a slow time. We had a couple of trailers that we put the arch back in the frame. We did it by raising the middle and weighing down the ends. As we slowly moved the middle we had a guy on each side heating the frame with torches. It worked very well and got the correct arch on single drops, doubles and a couple long flatbeds. We always chained the axles to the bed before lifting to prevent damage to airbags and brake components.

Looks good Rich! I'm just old enough to remember my first welding lessons being taught to drive stick welders, as MIG still wasn't all that common/mainstream.. Also remember that when my stick welds came out shitty I got punished by finishing the job with acetylene and rods! Didn't learn MIG until much later. I still find TIG to be dark magic and have to practice for an hour anytime I pick one up. BTW, good to see Vince the Prince of Molten Metal! PS: Speaking of torches, to this day I still find fire and puddle guns extremely fun to use, taking any chance I get to blast some cast iron 😁

I understand using stick since it's what you have (and works very well), but dual shield would work extremely well too if you have still enough air. You'd likely get 2-3x the weld speed for the same size weld. Of course, it does require the right equipment, but there's a very good reason why it's popular for heavy fab.

@minnesotatomcat 10 месяцев назад

Steel is so great for many things and applications but the constant rust that just keeps coming back on trailers and things like that makes it almost not worth it. It’s too bad nobody has developed a forever coating for steel to prevent rusting other than constantly keeping everything soaked in fluid film or oil of some sort.

@noscopesallowed8128 10 месяцев назад
