In this photo of 93m long 725-ton CO2 splitter, is the tow tractor positioned in between the 2 conventional trailer double set with turntables? I'd like to know what are the considerations in positioning the tractor as such (pulling from the rear "dolly") rather than pulling from the exterior? Best regards, Michael Good day to you Mr. Krabbendam. In this photo of 93m long 725-ton CO2 splitter, is the tow tractor positioned in between the 2 conventional trailer double set with turntables?

Krabbendam Sun, 21 Jun 2009 11:55:45 +0000 http://www2.heavyliftspecialist.com/?page_id=194#comment-103 Dennis, Thanks for your message. I encourage anyone in the heavy transport business to post his comments on trailer stability and how to avoid tipping over of heavy loads. It still happens too many times and can cost lives and causes unnecessary project delays. Come and join my Seminars and learn all about 3- and 4-point suspension systems. The first English two day Seminar is on Friday and Saturday the 3rd and 4th of July 2009 in the Netherlands Richard L.Krabbendam Dennis,

Had the pleasure of reading your article on The Case for Traier Stability Guidelines page 45 HEAVY LIFT & PFI May/June 2009. I am very interested in the three-point suspension module and any other module stability explaination. With kind regards, Dennis Dear Dennis, It does not really matter where you place the tractor, as long as it brings the pulling force to the trailer. In this case, Elia from Italy used Cometto or Caperi trailers , which required quite a high steel load spreading frame to spread the load from the turntable to the trailer bed, thereby the height of the column was enough to allow the tractor to be positioned in between both dollies. It worked and did the job. Rgds Richard Good Evening Mr Krabbendam. Had the pleasure of reading your article on The Case for Traier Stability Guidelines page 45 HEAVY LIFT & PFI May/June 2009.
