a 200;b [
I have one of these chicom wagons. 1200lb would be a WILDLY drug induced estimation of the load capacity. I wouldn't trust it with 500lb when new. The tierod steering is junk lasted about 3yrs. The "deck" won't handle diddly for a point load (concrete block etc) all sagging...
If I understand your application (want to steer both ends). You need 2 front sections. M1022 dolly set is for 8ft high ISO containers. For high cubes you'll have to add on a secondary top bracket. Very difficult to find the M1022 has been replaced by the M1022A1.
OR "the cats meow" look for...
As I recall from the old Trans Ref data book the DOD method established loading trailers on railcar was with jack folded/pintle on deck and trailers as tight together (1 tongue under the next trailer) as possible.
Hanney makes 24vDC versions of their reels for DOD/etc. Or just use the hand crank (every Hanney reel is so equipped) there big boy.

2008 M916A3 picked up at Ft McCoy a couple weeks ago. 5100mi. Brand new AWESOME truck. These have a great option list. This truck is the uparmor ready version so has 425/65R22.50 Fronts. Even has the BII in unopened crate. Hauled a MEP803 with 17hr home on the deck. Why the heck is Uncle...
Tank on my FD 6x6 F900 (Navy surplus) is a 2500gal HEMMT tank. Great low profile SS tank. This winter is moving to a 2008 M916A3 (5000mi) that I picked up at Ft McCoy on Wed. What stupid? Why is Obuma getting rid of 8yr old/new M916A3?
FD generally don't like trailers. Particularly big ones. Need things that don't take time - hitching up, backing etc. Can get most and DOD equipment for free anyhow. Any water on vehicles is not scored for ISO fire rating unless available 24/365 (heated indoors)
At least a pickup...
Really? Who would suspect that a chicom knockoff of a Western engine/motor operated _______ would be a POS? Whatever the price. Who'd a thunk.
Cheap is cheap which is not the same as inexpensive.
M916A3 owners. My FD was just allocated two M916A3 one with 5000mi and one with 10615mi. Also getting two MEP803 10kw genset (less 10hr ea). Could someone measure the clear distance in front of the 5th wheel? Thinking to load a genset crosswise on each truck in this spot (between winch and...
There has to be a better solution than getting in the gutter with the Fakebook twits. The bunch of despicable statists. This is great site but the "moderators" do have a rediculous nanny streak they need to resist.
If you have not seen the story you may find the info on Annavile FD (Tx) SS firetrucks interesting. Very innovative.

Looked a some today at local DRMO - 1200mi, 5000mi, 9000mi, 20000mi obscene getting rid of 7-8yr old trucks But a couple hopefully coming to my Fire Dept for tankers.
Does anyone have electronic...
