Load Tractor On Flat Bed Truck
Have any of you experience in hauling equipment such as tractors or excavators on flat bed trucks? With the bed being higher than most trailers for equipment (my experience)are you using ramps, a loading dock or something else to load and unload. Anything you don't like or recommend in doing this over trailer. Do realize the higher bed the higher center of gravity is so not as stable also might have clearance issue but doubt I would with my equipment.
What recommendation would you make for ramps and will be loading wheel and track. Seems the ramps would be very heavy to get the needed angle if the bed is only three feet high or course much worse if four feet high.
Thanks

Load Tractor On Flat Bed Truck
I really believe I am correct but want to be 100% sure for don't want to support my local mounties from missing this:
I take the GVWR and subtract the NET weight and that gives me the amount of load it is legal for. That is all of the load, people and cargo. Right?
On the simple side of this, when a company says this is a ONE TON truck is that suppose to be cargo capacity? Think Ford calls their 350 a 3/4 ton truck and their 450 a 1 ton truck. Thought GMC did same with their 2500 and 3500 series and then had a Chevy Commerical truck salesman tell ask me what year are we talking about. He went on to say with Chevy they dropped the GVWR of the 3500 when the 4500 came out to be able to sell the 4500 series. So that means the model really means nothing in true capacity?
OK EW this is right up you line to splain.

Thank each of you. I played around and found a trailer that will serve my needs and truck also. As always learned something from each of you. Really hard to say but even OLD (yes not Ole but OLD) Jeffery explained something on CDL to me. Seriously Ole Jeffery thanks.
