To carry containers on a flatbed wagon and drag with NO locking pins. I only ask as I saw on the A14 today I didn’t see it with any straps or chains holding it down just the weight of the containers. Also the wag and drag looked like a 7.5tonne with trailer

There would of been something holding it there that’s for sure unless it was a Romanian.

i’ve done plenty of them on flatbeds, and they do have locking pins.
it dosn’t look right from a distance, but when you get up close you’ll find they are nice and secure.
Every flatbed, low loader, 45’ or extendable has always had locking pins that i’ve ever had.
There are locking pins built inside the floor I think.

We’ve got a couple of flats with locking pins built into the floor of the trailer.

Thers a lad in the yard near us who can deliver two empty twenty footers that way and yes they are pinned down, I think he meets the other guy with the hiab truck carrying one container to offload.
Good luck to them I bet he makes a living as its cheaper to run than nearly anything else.

I used to pull a flatbed with twistlocks on in the mid 90’s. They’re not a new idea.
It had a HIAB on too possibly the same fella anyway you learn something new everyday. It really did look odd. Thanks everyone

I dont think you would get a hiab onto a 7. 5 tonner with a twenty footer pulling a trailer with another twenty footer onboard, i reckon it would be near its 8250kg limit without the hiab. But if its made of silver foil type material you never know, someone will come along with some figures on this I bet.
I will have a think !..and a beer to help the process.
Ever heard of a PSK? Otherwise known as a Platform SKeletal.

Yes…but not that light.
Lightest 7.5 truck would be at least 2900kg, the super lightweight 20 footers weigh 1485 kg. (heaviest for sea containers is 2610kg ) So at the very best thats 5870Kg without the trailer , I have found a skeltal type trailer that weighs 1680 kg that would do the job, so that makes 7450 kg with the lightest type 20 footers ever.
If the 20footers were average weight you would be at 8200kg easily.
As i said , dont think you could get a hiab on board…Come on someone PROVE me wrong. I would love it it someone did with a piccy and info.

I totally agree about the weight, but we all know about 7.5t horseboxes… Maybe the Hiab one was a 10 tonner? Just a thought.
Sorry, I meant to say maybe the one you saw was a 10t motor.

And in english that would be if you do a search
If you hold a ce licence or a c1e and passed your test after 1997 a 7.5 tonner can do a train weight of 12 ton. The 8250 limit is only for those who gained c1 class by grandfather rights in passing test pre 1997.

Oooh to be an old git Out of work on a medical
Now with no licences for anything bigger than a transit van.
Never had to think about it…so it could be possible if the hiab was on the trailer !
Now that is weird idea but it is possible.
