We are getting to the point where we need to start shopping for a tag tilt trailer before the end of the year. Our mack tandem axle is becoming critical in our business and we are still moving our CTL and KX040 separately with the 5500. Ideally we want the ability to move both of those at the same time to a job.
Do you guys use a valve on the hydraulic cylinder to lock the trailer tilted down or use the equipment to hold it down while loading the first machine?
Additionally, our next purchase will likely be a larger excavator in the 8 or 15 ton range so we are also thinking about just jumping to a triple axle which will give more room for double loading and allow for more weight later on. From reading and talking to others it sounds like the front tires get beat up pretty hard. Does anyone on here have a triple with a front axle lift?
Finally, are there any other things I should consider with this situation?
