Its very interesting how much our low loaders in Australia differ to over there. Nearly everything hear is hydraulic widening with ramps and hydraulic suspension, and we use rows of 8 axles on the bigger weights. Loading a 336 on one of our 5X8 swing wings would only take 40 minutes.
Speed of loading is only important if you do local work and have to load/unload 3-4-5 machines a day. a $1,000,000 trailer would be nice to have but it's not necessary when you haul 2-3 loads a month.
HHTV that’s true... or trying to beat curfews to get out lol. 5x8 Drake ‘swing wing’ that widens from 2.5m - 4.2m with aluminum wheels all round, drop well deck, hydraulic gooseneck, sliding skid plate (for using a dolly or Jeep) retails around $650k aud. I tare a neat 42tonne with the dolly and a 163tonne GCM rated K200 primemover and that gives me a 94t payload for a 136t gross. I could never go back to boring general freight after 15yrs with this co. doing heavy haulage with Cat as our major client. I only subscribed yesterday after one of the fellas I worked with mentioned your channel. Been enjoyable!
I do rigging for a living, I've unloaded many multi axle trailers. As a company we always help the driver where needed, to assemble and teardown the trailer. Definitely exhausting work for one guy, great video.
Could you weld some sort of swivel type attachment to each side of the neck? Then when you hook a chain to each swivel maybe it would rotate as the neck is raised and lowered? Maybe allowing smooth bind free fflipping . Of course that's a big big maybe:-)
If you had hooked the chain through the d-rings and then brought them towards the excavator, instead of around the sides, it should work better. I think this is right. I've never done it before but I used to operate equipment .
Actually a D loop cut from a 3/4" plate welded vertically to the front of the flip neck would solve it. The D would allow for a chain to pass through it and as the neck is flipped, it will rotate on the chain.
Good afternoon Colonel, Keep up the great work with all your videos!!! There always great to watch!!! I would like to pass on some information if you don't mind. Another gentleman on TH-cam that does excavation had told his audience that when you have a Cat excavator like you do is the number of the machine is 336 that you just loaded. You disregard the first number of the machine which is 3 and the two numbers after that will give you how many tons that machine is. So in your case it would be 36 tons. If I remember correctly that works for all construction equipment except Komatsu. If anyone would let me know if that is correct I would appreciate it. Be safe out there Colonel and can't wait to see your next video.
You think I don't know that? the last 2 numbers is the weight of the machine in METRIC TONS. CAT 336 = 36 m. tons = 79,200 LB. In my case it's heavier because of the options it has. But that's the weight for a base machine. Many other manufacturers follow CAT's suite and name the models after their weight.
i thought i mentioned this already like a million times. the major reason you need a jeep is when you're 1) taking a load to a jurisdiction where lift axles on trucks are not recognized; and or 2) you need more axles for the heavier load. if you get a typical 20,000 Lb per axle on a 8 axle rig, that's 160K gross. Minus the empty weight (say, 50K) that leaves you 110,000 Lb (if you are lucky). That's theory; in real life 4 axle trailers without boosters rarely get 80K, so you need a booster/spreader ..
@@HHTV60 thank you for taking the time to explain this I got thanks I'm working on a 4 truck hauler I'm cutting it to a two and a half car hauler the setup is like a lowboy so my tongue weight is 2000 lb empty so I'm thinking of making a Jeep for the front to put it behind my motorhome you can see it on my TH-cam page thanks again
I love Sergei videos, but if I had to run equipment in the environment like he does I would be spraying everything in duck Oil before the onset of winter, chains, binders, trailer connections chassis on both tractor and trailer.
After you spent that huge amount of mo ey for that trailer its about time they helped out with the repairs on It. Will pray for thing s to get easier for you. God bless and be safe captain sergeii
Daryn Allan Hi Sergei love watching your videos all the way down in here New Zealand . Really enjoy seeing how you do your job and like comparing the various ways you setup your unit with what we do down under in NZ . Also glad to see you are healthy and able to get back working , look forward to seeing more adventures . : Happy Truckin :}.
Well,the sign on the building says it all Field Marshall Serguei. "Heavy Iron" How much better could it get? Hope the rest of your trip is safe and all goes well.
So why is it that the guy with the black picikup diesel is letting it sit there idling? I never did understand that; so many do let them sit and run and burn fuel, and at close to $3 a gallon. I have had many diesel pickups and never did I do that. I guess it might have something to do with a macho thing...the deep muscular sound.
Enjoy your videos Sergei, just seems be so much messing with theses trailer set ups, I mean it’s a 40 ton excavator, 4 hrs for loading ??? Be on here and up to the other end of country in that time and safely within weight. Just my thoughts.
Man theres gotta be a better design to make your job a little easier on you. God knows all those frigging trailers cost a mint to buy. There has to be something that can be adapted to yours by hydraulics or something to make that easier to set up. I take your truck wont reverse up onto the front of your trailer and pull the jeep down for you. Im just asking you captain out of concern for your well being. That has to get old going thru that everytime you have to load and unload
😊 COLONEL SERGEI 😎🤗 "ON THE ROAD AGAIN" 🤑 Yes, absolutely must figure } load / unload { time . Always, cracks in welding show intensely after sitting a bit, just have to be vigilant in looking. There is (NO WAY) they should NOT cover warranty !!! 😷 BE SAFE 🙏 GOD SPEED 😨WATCH OUT FOR THOSE KRAZIES 😱 THANK YOU for UPDATE in "TRAVELS"😍😍😍😍😍
Fontaine agreed to cover the repair of these two small cracks under warranty. I'm not paying anything. Will get 'em fixed at a Fontaine dealer in Voorhees, NJ after I drop off the CAT 336!

Nice looking load. Thanks for showing all the work in getting ready to head down the road

Right on
Thanks for the video Colonel. That is a lot to remember to get loaded, configured and secured. I admire your work. Stay safe.
13:20 on April 16... Witnessed 'the captain' headed eastbound through Winnipeg MB. Looking good sir. 👍
You should try chainsaw bar oil for all your pins it helps with the rust
Thanks for an informative video, I hope all goes well with the transport and you get the cracks fixed.
Thanks for sharing, good job Colonel, pull toy here.
Thanks for the update
Huge Fan of yours Colonel awesome set up keep the videos coming Hello from California

Yes something like swivel D rings. Very good point I was thinking the same. Smart minds think somewhat alike LMAO Thank You
If you had hooked the chain through the d-rings and then brought them towards the excavator, instead of around the sides, it should work better. I think this is right. I've never done it before but I used to operate equipment .

What an absolute stuff around. There is both pros and cons to each but the way we do it here in Australia is far simpler than what i just witnessed.
Yes sliding skid plates and hydraulic widening but we don't have to be so long in the dolly

I also had seen the same in another channel but I think this only applies to Cat machines but I might be wrong. Take care

Colonel I wasn't insulting your intelligence. Sorry for making you upset and was just passing along something that was said to me.
To avoid climbing consider to get a Digital Laser Distance meter from ebay or wherever. They dont cost much are accurate and save you time and nerves.
Another awesome video. Stay safe .
that rust water might be dripping off neck extension pins.. get a height stick! auto haulers height pole u will love it
Большое спасибо за твои видео. Удачи.
What’s the ratchet strap over the pusher for ?
Slippery surface -- catches flies and mosquitoes.
Good job Bud
Nice rig combo. Wonder how it feels in turnings?
Thanks for the details.
Loadmaster does it again! Way to go Capricorn 👉🤘♑
You know it!
lol
Can you explain the benefits of the Jeep how much more weight you can load ? In a video thanks

Hight stick would work just fine for that
Cool movie Sergei 🍿😎👍
Did you count the width of your chains and binders on both sides when you measured the width? Thanks for the videos tonight.
Height stick? I think u need one! Especially when it's all icy!
The light issue for your pto is probably a grounding issue
After you spent that huge amount of mo ey for that trailer its about time they helped out with the repairs on It. Will pray for thing s to get easier for you. God bless and be safe captain sergeii
Sir Sergei !!!! Lots of comments below so ""KEEP IT SAFE & Have a good trip to NJ !! Hope the weld shop treats you right ???

He might have not been confident that his truck would start back up if he shut it off. Or maybe he was hoping someone would steal it lol
👍👍👍👍
👍😉
Try this out; CRC 06026 Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor, 10 Wt Oz
. or LECTRA SHIELD™ LONG TERM CORROSION INHIBITOR, 10 WT OZ, from CRC also.
If you hauled these machines before without your jeeps and stuff, why are they necessary now?
Because I picked the CAT up near Calgary, Alberta. They have different rules, especially in the spring.
Witch Bridge Are You Crossing into us.????
Enjoy your videos Sergei, just seems be so much messing with theses trailer set ups, I mean it’s a 40 ton excavator, 4 hrs for loading ??? Be on here and up to the other end of country in that time and safely within weight. Just my thoughts.
Ben Hankey, but with this setup you can go heavier, this is puppy chow.
a '40 ton excavator' in Alberta in spring requires a lot of axles.
Here in Oklahoma We call your line of work as hauling equipment. If you like to get in to heavy haul trucking industry go check out caweta trucking
Sergei get a single serve coffee pot.
They have different counter weight options beware
Can you hear me now...lol
