Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

is that the motor pinion Bo?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

NRS91. No, it's the first gear 13T gear with 300+ hours of runtime. still worked fine, I discovered the wear when I did maintenance. Figured it was time to replace before mayhem occurred. The gears have different pressure angles also, go figure. one has 14.5 degrees and the other has 20 degrees, Soft aluminum, and Glass fiber reinforced nylon. not the best combination I've seen.

Going to change that soon, very soon.:cop:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Wow how odd!!
That gear also holds the input gear that runs against the pinion doesnt it?

Change the wheels and move the support legs back a bit.

I have the fifth wheel mounted forward for a better center of gravity and steering.

That's that for today. See ya later.:D

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Oh! I forgot the Powersupply containers I'm putting together also.

They will supply conveyors and screeners.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Forklift Pockets on the containers. A must-have thingy. :D

They are quite boring to carve out...............:eek:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looking good Bo!
That B trailer is really neatly made!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, NRS91.Yes, it's very well made by Ian Gee. Now ready for some shows.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looks good! Those sea cans would pop with some weathering I reckon!
Hopefully you will be able to come back to the UK at some point!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Yes I will get around when the coast is clear. I guess the weathering comes automatically. Travel in suitcases will take care of that. I hope the UK in July is a go. and Holland in September.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looks very nice! will be fun to backup!

Kerst

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Kerst. Backing up is no problem. It's fun, and I like good challenges.:lol:

How many Michelin super singles fit in the 20-foot container?

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6e501eeb_b.jpgIMG_6582 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Great looking rig!

Any idea if those sea cans were production, or homebrew?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank's Frizzen, Hercules Hobby Cans, and trailers. Assembled and painted by Ian Gee UK. Tweaked by the Bo-Dog:D Logistic center coming closer, a few more units to create. P.S. The number of tires is 40 in one container.:cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Busy Busy Bo, looking good :cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Joe. Yes, I've got the urge back to move a few projects forward. How much forward resume to be seen. The logistic side of the fleet has to be in shape A.S.A.P. Here are a few pics of the doings.

Put more bolsters in for centering 32500kg 20-foot container in the proper position.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...78a00953_b.jpgIMG_6596 2 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Box trailers need some tuning and proper ride height. This is just a mock-up to find the look.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Are the heavy haulage fleet getting reworked into general haulage now Bo?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

NSR91. No, they will stay Heavy Haulers — 4 new trucks coming for the general haulage. I used the Heavy dudes for the mock-up only. I needed to reassure to get the measurements in order. Now off to the cut and tap department.:cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

The Globe General Hauler.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c8fd3dbd_b.jpgIMG_6602 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

To be continued.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Ahh nice!
Just looked like your heavy dolly under the back of the box which is why I asked :)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Good eye. Yes. the only dolly with lo-pros ( not in use ) that was available for mock-up

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

The upgrade continues.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f232e5aa_b.jpgIMG_6605 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Now it's a proper single 20-foot container on a 40-foot chassis.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2307516a_b.jpgIMG_6603 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

A few more tiny screws and some other goodies it will be done :cool:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Nice addition :)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Emil. We might be able to do some trucking later this year, now while you live in the US.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

New additions to the fleet are looking sharp.

I must have missed the Pete-rod with skull shifter.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Sir. The Pete rod belongs to a very creative friend. He has a bunch of cool stuff; Some can be seen on the videos from Cabin Fever.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Cool picture!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Bo moves into general haulage...

10 mins later...

"How many containers can I fit on one truck?" :D:D

will look good towing the B Double! May need a H dolly to be as maneuverable as the beam haulers though!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Emil. I'm trying.:lol: NRS91 :lol: I'm making wide turns into small. The time in the lab continues. I forgot to order some King-Pins!!! How could I forget such important detail?

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cf769b8e_b.jpgIMG_6626 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Lucky me, I had some Hinge-Pins for interior doors laying around. They have the exact measurements and need to be drilled countersunk, and cut to length.
10 minutes massaging, and the day is looking much better.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...aeac84ca_b.jpgIMG_6624 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

nice work on the kingpins! lovely job!

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

NRS91, Thanks. The pins only cost 98¢. So that will be a run to the hardware store Monday morning. I use to get morning coffee across the street at the Geezer Club before Covid Times. More trailers in the pipeline.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

The mock-up process moving forward:) Measure 10 times......:lol:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Now when all data is collected and the design ar set. There will be some interesting manufacturing taking place.

First, a couple of these will be made.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fd0bbfa6_b.jpgIMG_6210 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

A bunch of these with a small modification.

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...75000aa4_b.jpgIMG_2563 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Other parts needed.
