OK, so here's the test. . . . 16 September 2003, transport 19,000# of steel for the floating roof planes & the suspended loft in the House in Ruskin--the trailer itself weighs in at 5000#, so that is a total of 24,000# - nearing the 29,000CGVW of the '56 IHC! - it grunted a little bit going over the bridge on Causeway BLVD, but that's about it . . . All went well!
