As sketchy as it may appear, the trucks are very ridgid and stable when they are tailboarding the load. Tailboarding is when you carry the load balanced on the rear roll, with the end of the load just comfortably off the ground. Having said that, the center of gravity is still quite low, and if you do find a soft spot or bad footing , you are able to set building down and walk out from under the load,....drag it to you, walkout.... Drag it to you....
Very effective and efficient. Used for tearing out drilling rigs and setting them up. 10,000 rigmovers cant be wrong!!! Lol!!
