robin craig Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Welcome to the Forum Andy People here will likely snap your hand off come next seasons rush to move stuff. Must get interesting with driver hours and log books if you do lots of hours, you must be hot seating it in the cab with different drivers! Sorry i'm not close enough to take advantage of your services R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the info Andy. Can you handle wider loads - in the region of 2.9m across the tracks??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolvoFH12 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yes, we do have alot of experience with wider loads, even upto 5.5mtrs! I have read on a previous thread that your tracks are 2.9mtrs overall, how wide are the tracks? or the measurement between the tracks? Our current trailer is 2.55 mtrs wide with 200 mm outriggers each side. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can re-check this tomorrow afternoon though... We used Rex's unit first year round to get to W&P - they had the outriggers but the ramps did not extend to cover and as we tried to drive up the tracks straddled the ends of the ramps. Luckily where it was stored had a number of light railway sleeper so we used 6 a side to make up ramps.... :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoFH12 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Currently we are having some extensions made we can attach to the sides of the ramps as some excavators have the same problem. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
