One of my biggest fears happened today.
While loading a crane car body one of the hydraulic hoses blew.
The car body weighs 69,000Lbs. and the upper works weighs 87,000Lbs.
They lower the whole thing onto the trailer until you've got the weight of the car body then they slide 4 pins out and raise the upper works so you can drive out from under it with just the car body. As they were lowering it the main supply hose blew.
Don't know how much of the 156,000 ended up on my trailer but i thought it was going to break
After they fixed the hose i had them lift the whole thing off so i could see what my trailer looked like. Luckily it sprung back into shape.
this gauge measures the air pressure in the air bags on the trailer.
The highest i've ever seen it before this was 88 psi which equals 62120Lbs.
Pegged i don't even want to know
