Drop Deck Trailers For Hauling Heavy Equipment

Alot of people ask me what the difference is between a drop deck trailer and a lowboy trailer for hauling heavy equipment. Well if you go to my website you will see a low boy trailer right there on the front page that also qualifies as a drop deck because the front of it sets up on the fifth wheel of the semi it attaches to. Some would beg to differ and say that is not a drop deck but I say it is. You can also see even more lowboy trailers by going to my used heavy equipment site and clicking on lowboy trailers on the right hand side at the top of the front page.
I have seen some people use flatbed trailers to haul equipment but that is the type of equipment that doesn't sit up very high. Most things like loaders, backhoes and dozers need to be hauled on the back of a lowboy.

Hurricane Season is Here - Dump Trucks Get Ready

Now is the time to get your dump truck in good working order for the busy hurricane season ahead. Or if you don't already have a dump truck or dump trailer maybe you should think about getting one. Oh I know some people think that just because last year was slow for hurricanes that this year will be too. But do you ever get that gut feeling that something really big is gonna happen this year - well so do I. Maybe it's the quiet before the storm but the weather has just been too nice lately. This is the coolest beginning of summer I have ever experienced in Florida. We haven't had to use the air conditioning until just yesterday and usually we have it on by the middle of May. Or maybe I am just avoiding those high electric bills that come along in July and August. Even if the weather stays wonderful a dump truck always comes in handy for land clearing and construction projects. Beleive me as soon as the neighbors find out you have one they will be begging to borrow it and the same goes for a dump trailer. And if you have a teenager that you are trying to keep busy during the summer it can really come in handy for his landscaping and yard cleaning business which is a great introduction to hard sweaty manual labor to help inspire him to want to go to college. And sometimes it's easier to get heavy equipment financing than it is to get college tuition.

Get Down and Dirty With a Backhoe

I haven't met a farmer or land owner yet that doesn't wish for a backhoe. They are so versatile and multi-purpose. You can push dirt around with the backhoe blade, pick it up and dump it into a dump truck and then pickup scoops of dirt with the hoe part. You can dig ponds and ditches. I could go on and on about the myriad of uses for a backhoe versus getting a dozer and loader separately. A Backhoe is an all purpose machine and would be the 1st peice of heavy equipment I would ever get and the 2nd most important being the dump truck. You can put a lowboy trailer onto the back of a dump truck and use it to pull your backhoe. Anyone with a rig like that would be the envy of their redneck neighborhood. So keep your eye out for the backhoe of your dreams, no matter how dirty and ugly it is when you go to look at it remember it can always be cleaned up. If it's still running - it's worth lookin into. Yes you may end up having to replace some hydraulic hoses but you would have to do that with just about any machine sooner or later.

Your Ugly and So is Your Semi Truck

Do you have one of those ugly semis that have dented fenders and paint chips or just missing a whole lot of paint in places. Is the bumber dented and dragging and looks the way you feel.
Do you seem to spend more time fixin the damn thing than driving it?
Well my friend then it's about time you thought about getting yourself a new or used semi that looks better than what you got.
You may still be ugly but your semi truck doesn't have to be and you will feel better driving something that makes you look good too.
You don't have to buy new to find a good looking tractor trailer. You can even get great heavy equipment financing from Direct Capitol whether it is new or used.
Start looking now and get yourself into a new semi truck that makes you feel good about yourself, your job and your life.
I know you dream about Trick my Truck coming along and fixin that old beater but we both know that ain't gonna happen.

The truck doesn't run but out of the whole asking price we are only wanting $500 for the truck. You won't find a lower price on a lowboy trailer of that size anywhere.
There is also a 1986 Freightliner Semi Day Cab w with a 350 Cummins Diesel engine for only - $2995 OBO - Yes it does run and would make a great work truck that you could use with the above mentioned lowboy.

Preventing Rust on Heavy Equipment

Heavy Equipment is a valuable investments so you want to keep your own used heavy equipment in excellent shape and condition as much as possible. No matter how old or new it is or whether it’s a known model or not, you should give it special treatment as it provides as efficient, safe and comfortable means of earning a living as well as being used for personal use.

It is inevitable for any type of used heavy equipment to experience common mechanical problems; this is especially true if the model is already old. Among the most destructive and the most annoying problems is rust. This affects almost all machinery parts, especially those exposed to moisture. One used semis the body panels, including the doors, the fenders, the hood and the bed are of course among the most vulnerable. When damaged by rust, these body parts become weak and not only that, they become ugly too. Replacement may be your only solution.

The hood is one of the most important body parts as this is used to protect the most vital parts of your semi truck such as the engine. Just like the doors and the fenders, this must be rigid and tough to be able to give the best protection to parts underneath.

Since the hood has a metal covering that is exposed to harsh elements in the environment, the hood is also very susceptible to rust. Because of this, proper care is needed. It must be kept clean all the time and make sure the drain holes around the hood are clear so water can't pass through and cause rust.
