Quick question on transporting your deuce.

[budman67]

I was looking at some deuces in the US in the for sale section,
question, would a deuce be under legal height on a flat bed?
I think it would be,but there might something I may be missing
on the dimensions.

I don't know what the "legal height" is for semi trucks, but I do know that they get shipped on a somewhat regular basis. Worse case scenario you could remove the bows, top of the cab/windshields, exhaust stack, and air the tires down if it was absolutely necessary.

Referencing a recent thread: Post #45 & #46. Drop the stack and cargo cover and you should be fine. Note this was with an M813 on 11x20's so the deuce is a little shorter. If you feel to be more cautious then drop the windshield and troopseats as well.

The total height is 13'-6" and width is no problem at 8'-6", just pull the mirrors in.

Thanks guys, I just wanted to make sure I didn't over look something.
The company I use to work for,has a flat bed run down to Florida,
sometimes California.

Have to be careful if the deuce you are talking about is a 109.

Thanks for the reminder,no it is just the standard cargo unit.

I had mine shipped flatbed with the cargo top on with no issues.

Might have to use a drop deck then you probably wouldn't have to do anything. I work for Reitnouer trailers we are one the premier aluminum trailer manufacturers in the United States. A drop deck is only like 2-3 feet tall depending on tire size.
