Overload of the Day

[cfherrman]

Vacuum water truck I drove from November to today, most vacuum I've seen is 28 in mg and the highest pressure I accidentally had the tank was past 30 psi which is way too much. Tank capacity is 80 bbl and is from 2000. I hauled 640 bbl water today in it and 560 bbl in it yesterday.

Is the fuel cap missing?

 

[Delmer]

...5-10 lbs of vacuum is a lot of force.

And it's a lot harder to design a tank to withstand outside pressure than inside pressure, as someone recently demonstrated.

I’ve heard this before tho it was not related to vacuum trucks………

Depends on gvw

I think i saw that on FB market place i need a trailer bad and thought could i build something usable from this but its out of the price range to spend a lot of time on.

 

[OzDozer]

Looks to me like someone built that trailer reading the plans upside down!?

 

[Pony]

Yeah mate, some of the stuff these guys show us over there, would never even get closer to being allowed over here.

Allowed is probably my most hated word

Allowed is probably my most hated word

People in glad houses and all that……
It never fails to amaze me some of the sh1t that can be legally towed in the US, or as another example the ridiculous lowboys with a gazillion axles.

Like that?

 

[Pops52]

Allowed is probably my most hated word

I would add "compliance"

I was thinking more like this

That would be my guess, but that's one heck of a steep ramp, I would think it would have a hard time climbing over that .

 

[Northern mb]

I've got my doubts it's for a sprayer. My sprayer only narrows down to about 11 feet and that trailer doesn't look that wide. Most sprayer trailers have ramps outside the wheels for the sprayer to ride on

Normally around here the trailer is a converted long log trailer.

Agree--and our road beds show it.
