I sold that trailer for $3500How much is a used semi flatbed trailer?
That Milfdots heard Carrier was Chinese owned? Well, sure, he's heard everything is chinese owned. He sees 'The Chinese' under his bed.Wouldn’t surprise me
This. We snagged 4 semi trailers that have been awesome. The decks wear out but not too hard to replace. We've run all kinds of stuff across them and they have been maintenance free.Better off to get a cement culvert. View attachment 7826650
I'm a pipelayer by trade. But I've been involved in major infrastructure development in WA. Lots of bridges and over passes. All the shit on I5 outside McCord and Ft. Lewis I had a hand in. Same with by tacoma dome and a bunch of stuff in Seattle.
28 foot span is a lot to not have columns. If your not sinking columns, making footings or abutments your bridge will need to be redesigned.
While it may work. As posted above Army engineers would shut it down if found out. Also with no abutments and just some 8 foot poles sunk in the ground you don't have much to prevent washouts.
Probably better off to just get a 53 foot flatbed trailer and set that sucker over there.
If you salted the trailers you wouldn’t be able to keep the deer off of them. LolThis. We snagged 4 semi trailers that have been awesome. The decks wear out but not too hard to replace. We've run all kinds of stuff across them and they have been maintenance free.
Deer don't seem to use them because I think they ice up once and get slicker than anything. Would be fun to see one try to make it across
He’s already got time in welding on the beams. You know he’s using em.Would y’all stop giving this guy good advice I’m still waiting for the next thread when he shows the contraption he’s going to build to get his tractor out of the ditch.
Nope, you're not seeing it correctly.Doubtful he will buckle those beams if he welds crossmembers in. The one splice may fail, depends how it was welded.
10,000# tractor, 10’ x 5’ (guessing) is only 200 psf.
Pretty well sums it upWhat are our options so far?
- Call the EPA
- Call an engineer
- Drive around the long way
- Put in a culvert
- Buy a trailer
- Buy big ass beams
- Fuck yeah, hold my beer
- You're going to die
Top flange will be in compression. If I learned one thing, it is that metal very rarely fails in compression. There are plenty of other places in this project that will fail before the top of this beam buckles under compression.
Ramps, you forgot ramps!What are our options so far?
- Call the EPA
- Call an engineer
- Drive around the long way
- Put in a culvert
- Buy a trailer
- Buy big ass beams

One of two things is going to happen:So he hasn’t replied in a while….maybe someone should check if he’s in the river
Yes, but is it rated for a 10,000# tractor???OP is in luck… Ukrainians just stole one of these. It is for sale cheap. FOB Kiev.

Not for that load they didn't.
Time zone bridge in Riggins?Here is a cool bridge. One of the ones my dad worked on. The big arched beams are hollow and big enough to crawl through.

Wow that is really cool how they have it suspended on a curve!last bridge I worked on as a project manager before the Fannie may / FreddieView attachment 7835383 mac destruction of the industry and my rehoming into the recycling industry. The crazy engineering of this suspended structure was a lot of math.
Was supposed to be straight... but things happen. lolWow that is really cool how they have it suspended on a curve!
