Trucks

It's an air tank for the vibrators on the trailers they are also lined with UHMW so the product we haul doesn't stick.

Great pictures, really like the trucks. Could you please add a little information on the trailers. Are they made by K-line?
Thanks,

very nice, hey, in WA are there still trees big enough for a "one-log-load"? I saw one once in Oregons coast range, and a couple of two log loads, but I figure someday, someone will haul the last one for quite some time. again nice pics

We had Knight build some for us and now we are using Aspen They are special built. They weight 38 k the trailers are designed to haul 35 yards we haul 47 tons run 14.00 rubber with 20 inch brakes. We have air powered landing viberators and a liner of uhmw that helps with the sticking of the material. the lids are aluminum and powered by hydrulics, hydrulic gates.
