:D :D lol that would be cool lol.no its actually from our swamp trailer.we carry 10 tons of pipe at a time thru the swamps and of road with it.i am currntly getting it ready for a trip to the boyou's of LA.next week.the rear set is actually a rear drive from an old military truck we junked a few years ago.each side of the susp.is gear driven from the pivot point to the axle itself.

That thing looks like it would sink to the bottom of a swamp. Must weigh a "ton"

yes it is heavy but you have to take into account that there are 8 floatationtires that will actually float (slightly submerged)with 4500lbs a piece.multiply that by 8 and you have the ability to tote 36000lbs or 13 tons of weight.after you account for the trailer and axles that weight about 10,000 lbs there is still a floatable payload of 2600 lbs.now with that said it never really has to flaot fully we have barges for those areas but from time to time one end or the other will be light and also take into account the floatation/dispertion factor on mud.also they tend not to get stuck in sloppy bud or goo like regular trailer tires would do.

finished minus paint

that's awesome!!! a trailer that can flex...
what do you use to pull that trailer with through the swamps?
-
a very large bulldozer.its peimary function is not to sink and mar-up in the mud.not so much to float.it will be hauling river weights for large underwater pipeline
