Can 2 m923 trucks without tarp & bows fit on one transport trailer?

[Suprman]

Does anyone know if 2 923 trucks running with no bows and tarp can be loaded together on one trailer? Do most trailers have drive on ramps or do they have to be lifted on with a crane?
Thanks

Most trailers DO NOT have a ramp. GL usually uses a forklift. A loading dock works also.

Trailers come on all sizes. You will need a stepdeck as a regular flatbed is too tall.

You might check the -10 manual for the measurements of the M923. Or someone might know.

Most trailers will be over weight with 2 M923 on them.

I have seen a 923 and a 931 together on one trailer how much more can the second 923 weigh?

The 923 is listed as 21,600lbs empty and is 307.4 inches long(25.6')

Yes, I have had 2 M923 USMC trucks hauled on a step deck. Trailer had ramps, but we used docks to load and unload. Green truck was disabled so I pulled it on with Tan truck using a towbar.

Yes but over weight unless you have a triple axle trailer & permit. Got a local guy here that does it all the time.

Yes, I had M931 and M923A2 hauled on step deck. Loaded in Atlanta Truck Center, just backed up to dock and load both on. Trailer didn't have ramp so we made dirt ramp at destination to unload. Worked out fine. And driver checked GVW and he was just under 79,000 lbs. Pulled with standard Tractor with sleeper on 50' step deck.

So the answer is yes and it was under legal height & weight.

So unless I am missing something, like DH said-NO (most likely). A M931 is alot less weight than a M923 and if the semi had ramps it would be even less weight he could carry without permits. (all depends on the pulling semi).

Most states will not issue an over weight permit for a two piece or more load.

The loads I SAW were 923a2s,

Just brought these back no problems.

Guess the correct question should have been can two fit on a trailer and be legally under weight?

 

[Csm Davis]

It is possible but tight fit and weights will be close to max weight.
