Hey Rob, that's a new twist on semi dump trailer's! Different from the Clement Bridger, but very neat. That could be a new way to mess with the "DOT" LOL

Thanks guys. Yes it's a little different for the transfer but it sure can lift a lot. Next time it'll be a full transfer setup.

Re: Steamer
 

Very cool mechanism, works a treat!
We don't have them over here.

Re: Steamer
 

Nice work Rob, that trailer mechanism is well done.

Re: Steamer
 

I like it!

Re: Steamer
 

Thanks Guys for the support. I'm Working on the tail gate lock and I'll try to get pictures up in the morning.

Re: Steamer
 

Hey Rob,
Great fiberglass work on your new model, not sure how well it will go in the dirt though ! hahahah

awesome work Rob, trailer looks great.

Re: Steamer
 

Greg How did you manage to get that picture. I thought that I had it in stealth mode. Thanks for the shot.
Jason Thanks for the comments. Build is on hold for a while as my friend just passed away and I'm Executor of his will. What a learning experience. Will get back to the build when things slow down a little.

Rob
Sorry to hear about your friend.

Is there room in the trunk of that car for hauling your R/C's?;)

Jordy

Re: Steamer
 

Jordy The guy I bought it off said the he could get two ten speeds in there, but I'm not going to try it. They'd be in pieces for sure.
Rob

Re: Steamer
 

With a ride like that who needs a ten speed:rolleyes:
Nice car:)

Yesterday Greg, Lou, Reg and I were putting on a show in Port Alberni. There was a nice little cable hoe and here are some pictures.

Re: Steamer
 

Hey Rob, that's something different, noticed you posted that jack leg photo first. Never seen that set up before! Thank's, Neil#2 aka doodlebug.

Dry sand is 100 lbs per cubic foot.

Ken

Re: Steamer
 

Neil. I'd never seen anything like that either and it sure is a different arrangement.
Ken. You bet sand is a lot heavier than it looks. The FWD pulled itself and the loaded trailer but the tires are not aggressive enough for anything over 6% grade. Anyway here's a couple more pictures from the Show.
Reg's dozer and Euclid with the FWD behind.

Lou looking real casual with the 966 loading his ADT.

Just a general scene of the layout.

Thanks for looking.
Rob

Re: Steamer
 

It looks like you had great weather for the show. Take any video of the activity? Thanx for posting the pics. :cool:

Re: Steamer
 

Thanks Joe. We're finally getting some summer weather and Port Alberni was very warm, It has it's own little micro climate being stuck between the two mountains. As far as video goes every time I started the camera all the activity stopped, so it just looks like a still shot. Probably Lou or Greg might have some that they'll put up.
