A 40 ft container or a 53 ft trailer? You could take 24 skids easily in a 53 ft trailer with weight just under 46,000lbs. My bobtail weighs 18,600lbs full of fuel with a 14,000lbs wagon to drag down the road you'll be under 80,000lbs. 24 skids taking up 48 ft in a 53 footer at 46,000lbs pulls real nice down the road. The tea is rolling and flowing and it's all good. Well I've got a 60,000lbs container waiting for me in Toronto tomorrow. Yup I've got my tri-axle ready. Go HFBG!!!
