I’ve definitely only used these for RR service equipment but it could do other work in theory The winch helps get the RR stuff up the incline as it’s tough to get traction metal on metal. Super interesting work and time consuming lining up to the rails. What I don’t see here is the adapter rails that make the final ramp up from the rail line
I changed an air can on one of those once, they used it for rail maintenance equipment, which is probably the only type of trailer you could use for something like that.
It's tall because its actually a bed truck trailer it has 3 positions current position is bed truck then in the middle is tractor and last is flat when it scissored out.
@@HHTV60 yeah it's annoying, especially since half the stuff I haul when I pull my scissor neck is multiple pieces and i have to keep it under 80,000 being 50k empty lol
One that’s a long neck but I’m sure you could get one with a flip extension two it is low to the ground but here the thing with it you Caslon rase and lower it
They are very cool but not the best use I've seen in that configuration. The best is when operated as a winch trailer because you can run it as a highboy winch and haul buildings, but still convertible to a step deck for tall loads.
American heavy haulage trailers really are small and unimpressive. Here in AU 72 or more tyre lowboy, spreader axle trailers is where its at, hauling 100tons+; overweight, oversize its not that big of an issue. Too many rules in the land of the formerly free.
