Another "Welcome to the wrecker club" from me. Looks like you are dressing her up like the Australian wreckers in Vietnam a-la "Tunza Gutz". She was the only one that survived and made it home. Now in the Aussie War Memorial Museum.

Looks fine to me - hidden behind its own bumper... .. with install lift eyes (yellow) and "Sorry, didn't see you" reflective stripes. Could also add skid plate underneath to protect stuff which would act as a foot/stand when not in use sitting on the shop floor. Add a couple of "dealy...

Any particular reason you used the crane to pull the shed onto the trailer or is the main drag winch not clear on the pic and you were "steering" the shed with the crane?

Trying to locate anyone in the OK City area to possible pick up a pallet, hang on to it for a bit, then I'll have time to organise shipment or possible transfer to the GA rally. Thanks. NB. M1075 someone suggested you but your pm box is full.

74' has valid points, potential consolation though... It could be defended, however it would probably necessitate hiring a "motoring" attorney, who could use the defense which compares it to snow ploughs (plows), crank mounted hyd pumps on things like dust carts (trash trucks), concrete...

Tom - you say if you are not after the original/factory brackets (pic #1, item 17), they look simple enough to copy. Do you have dimensions of the heater can and bolt spacing?

"This earthmover carries no armour or defensive armament." "Looks like a snow groomer to me officer". Especially if you throw a coat of non army paint on it. Or even a piece of agg equipment. Will it fit in a box or does it have to go RORO? I do know that the UK now has export licence...

Thanks tbar - looks like mwmules is on it, though we are having prob with the .bmp .pdf .jpeg .tiff etc., files!!!

Mike/Carnac - I do agree that time and effort vs profit needs to be considered. I guess I was hoping that the likes of Eastern etc., may make an inventory, by NSN when emptying their Tri Walls, maybe even using some kind of digital number reader/scanner. After that, a spread sheet could be...

This sounds almost too good. What are you and Pat taking out there? I guess we need to have speaks before... Not sure yet what Gymp is able to do for me.. if he can pick up from GL that's great, then if there is room for him (?) to get it to Findlay that would be great, otherwise, a detour...

Findlay I think...

Forum suggestion/Parts wanted/Tri-Wall surprises coordination idea... Looking for specific odd parts? - I was wondering if there is any mileage for either this forum or the major Surplus Vendors who buy random Tri-Walls of Vehicle Components where there is no specific details in the GL listing...

Anyone in the area that can do a pick-up and hold 'till rally? (1 Pallet)

Yeah agree... - moving a friends trailer - get a dolly. (Unless there is nothing low on route of move - then I'd probably go for it, risking an unpermitted oversize ticket.) - your own trailer (for keeps), I'd probably slope the roof line of the trailer to 13'6" pll to road when coupled or...

At least paint scrapes off... try forgetting to cover your glass windows and mirrors when grinding metal nearby! Serious humpf.

I think that if your fifth wheel is slid all the way forward and there are side rails to the ramp pads - like train wheels, then you'll need minimal tieing down with binders. EDIT: Quick rethink John. This won't work unless the King Pin plate is the lowest part of the box, forward of the...

Don't worry John, I am reasonably familiar with a "T", a couple of my old cronies back home have them. That was where I got the star and wheel cut outs from. However, I think that will be the end of the similarity. A demountable box will have to be quite different in construction to that of...

Yes John - winch on, gravity off! You have two options as I see it. Either use the "Lift" shackle points to the front of the fifth wheel and some kind of clamp/binder or you can use the rear "Tie down" points and binders pulling against the bottom of the box which mates up to the ramps...

Ta darrrrr : though legs would be tricky - just use the winch as for the 870 trailer or PLS type demountable..

... so you talking about a specific trailer not just anyone that you come across... Should we also assume that the trailer is a "hi-cube"? - which is pretty much all the modern ones, in that it max's out at 13'6" on a very low fifthwheel. I don't think that you have many options other than...
