Both these trailer have outer dual tires that stick out beyond the trailer.

If you took the outer duals off what is the deck width?

Anyone have any experience with either of these?

The deck on both accomodates a 144" wide main battle tank. 102" is legal width. Suggest you search Truck Trader etc for an oilfield lowboy with a really long neck, they are out there.

Thanks for the info. I believe the m747 is a 10' deck and 11.5'. Width with tires. By pulling the outer duallys off you can run with a permit Over 11' you need pilot cars in my state. If the trailer measurements are accurate that trailer will work

I've got a 2" hitch on the back of my truck so don't need a long neck, just need a taller neck I believe

M747 is 10' to outside of deck and 10'5" to the outside of the stock tires. You can put different wheels/tires on to get it closer to 10' wide total.

M1000 has a 10' deck and 12' to the outside of the stock tires. It might be possible to narrow the M1000 a bit with 2 tires instead of 4 on each bogey.

Just won the m1000 auction

Just got the winning bid on the m1000 trailer
Need to ship it from Southern California to Washington

I think I can take the outer dually tires off and take it from 12' wide to 10' wide

I assume I need to get a crane to load it

Any feedback, ideas or help is appreciated

Need to pay someone to pull outer tires off and strap on deck ahead of time
Any recommendations yermo california

I saw some of those trailers being loaded on lowboys going out of red river a year ago from sales there. It looked like they were still over width even with some tires removed. Those things are wide and overhung the low boys. That is an eyeball view point not a factual knowledge first hand.

M1070s were replaced with M1070A1s.

Force reduction as well.

M1000s may be getting upgraded, not sure.

Picture 17 shows rear side markers on metal brackets extending to the outer wheels. Those would have to be removed, along with the mudflaps. Rear tie down doesn't extend as far, but it is not removable

Never ment that he did not have something but i know if you check with ryder alot of times they have trucks that they need returned to a yard and they will do a deal to get it back . Back when i was doing heavy towing we did it a lot fly out and bring it back instead of shipping our truck with a wrecker to bring the trailer back
