Hello,
We are adding a new container transloading facility in Amarillo at a rail ramp. We will be receiving product primarily by Hopper Trucks. We also plan on setting up some nearby storage which will be a few miles away from the rail ramp. This means we will have to move loaded containers a few miles over the road. We want to figure out how to get as heavy as possible in Texas. Standard Max weights for containers on standard chassis yields a cargo weight of 43,000 - 48,500 Lbs. We can get a permit to haul only 5% more. That is not enough to add value. My idea is to use flatbeds, a top lift and strap the containers on for a short haul. Could we put a loaded 40'Ocean container onto a flatbed and in the end yield a heavier cargo weight? Does anyone have any experience or ideas? Thank you, Carl Varner VP Logistics Fornazor Intl www.fornazor.com Email: [email protected] Tel: 201-664-4000 |
