Shoulder asphalt paving

[jonjoy1999]

are the 5 cylinders on the side of the trailer brake booster cylinders, and if so, does the trailer have it's own air brake compressor to charge these cylinders, or are they charged off the tractor's air brake compressor?

[senyko]

@jonjoy1999 I don't know. I have not dealt with that trailer myself. Maybe someone else can answer that.

[deserthook]

@jonjoy1999

Those tanks supply air to the brakes and lift/tag axles. They receive air from the tractor`s air compressor. It takes a little longer to charge the entire air system if the system is depleted as opposed to a standard trailer.

[MrDriftspirit]

wow, that must be very interesting when the driver has to turn hard withot lifting his first 3 axles!. but even he had lifted it, the tire rub of must be enourmous!

whats the total weight of this dump truck?

usa, the endless possibillities!

[senyko]

@MrDriftspirit Well, the math works out this way. All axles on the trailer are 13,000 each gross. Drive axles on truck are 32,000 and heavy tired front axle has gross of 18,000. Total 154,000 or 77 tons. These and heavier rigs have been used in Michigan and parts of Canada for over 40 years. They can deliver products of 48 ton to 58 ton depending on how the axles are spread out. No special permits are needed. JS

[irisheyes123456]

@MrDriftspirit Tyre scrub is crazy when you see these trailers turning at an intersection... they paint the road black when fully laden.. quite a sight to see

[yukonrott]

@MrDriftspirit on the dump truck it looks to me like the first 2 axles on the pup or trailer is on something similar to a fifth wheel plate. it seems to rotate.. if u look when they start dumping its separated. idk what axle weights are in michigan but iowa with our 4 axle trucks and a 3 axle trailer we can gross 94 to 96000 lbs on average its 31 tons..and if u have all ur axle weights right.. some ppl just load and go. and with asphalt u can get close but rarely end up perfect...

[AC160]

How many of this rear-aksel are steered??

[senyko]

@AC160 None. You pickup three axles and drag the rest. Many years ago they did have some trailers that steered, but they got away from that. I think there was to much maintenance. Denmark, great country! JS

[HPISFBankrupter]

You be hard pressed to get that trailer stuck in a soft spot. No down time... good concept.

[AneXChewy]

i work for piper trucking out of warren mi

[Trailerrigger]

woo hoo 42 tires on a rig! and these people are right if it didnt have so many tires it would just tear up everything it drives on.

[Niercaaa]

32 wheels???? surely no need for that many! waste of enviroment.. Oh, sorry, it's in America!

[senyko]

@Niercaaa Mmm! Lets think about that comment for a minute. You think that two trucks, two trailers, two drivers, more maintenance, more fuel, more paper work, using extra highway space, more chances for accidents, etc., is better for the enviroment than one truck, one driver. I don't think so. It's 42 tires, by the way! The tires and brakes last over twice as long as conventional trailers. JS

[paperkiller25]

@senyko Also the Roads last longer because of better weight distribution. Those trucks coming and going from sites don't tear up the roads.

[Niercaaa]

@senyko thanks for putting me right. I don't understand these stupid comments bellow my post..!

[senyko]

@Niercaaa Your welcome! Don't worry about such comments. Only listen to those that try to explain their position.

[lhr1701]

@Niercaaa Google Bridge formula . If you can figuer that out then you will see why so many wheels .

[cnrails]

@Niercaaa Actually it is 42 tires on the ground.

[WaagooshTheRedFox]

@Niercaaa get a life sped. and just for the trololols, America made Britain what it is today.

[Niercaaa]

@WaagooshTheRedFox I don't care do I? What this video has to do with politics? Wash your head..

[WaagooshTheRedFox]

@Niercaaa i think you may need to learn about basic designs, hurps durps... how do you expect a truck with that much weight to move without lessening the friction between it and the road...ergo add wheels.

[Niercaaa]

@WaagooshTheRedFox allright, I understand now, sorry for my stupid comment, pontless arguing now.

[WaagooshTheRedFox]

@Niercaaa thanks? i think... well.. arguing is pointless.. so i guess we have no need to carry on any further.

have a good day.

[WaagooshTheRedFox]

@Niercaaa its not our fault the brits have shitty roads, =) figured i would add insult to injury.

[BRAV0TWOZER0]

@Niercaaa whats wrong with it? more wheels can take more weight... ill tell you what is a waste... spending more money on tires per trailer

[oipbhakeld]

@Niercaaa ur an idiot. straight up

[Niercaaa]

@oipbhakeld you can fcuk off..!

[sk389]

haha imagine how hard that would be to turn around with

@Cirbonukleon Thanks, JS

[jaxter69]

thats alot of axels....

[schizamknasty]

no hardhats nysdot would have your balls.....and whos pickups across the street everyhing is supposed to be on the same side of the road.........

[senyko]

@schizamknasty  That pickup is MDOT! JS

@senyko

hahahahaha theyre all the some.......

To all Heavy Highway workers stay safe......people dont give a fk.....

[regdapimp06]

I almost thought that was a vogel paver in the distance.

[senyko]

@regdapimp06 Sorry, can't help you there.  JS

[Vanos82]

@regdapimp06 a barber-greene paver

[billium2014]

why does that require so many axles and tires, must be a real pain in the ass to pay for new ones

[senyko]

@billium2014 Tires and brakes will last twice as long or more then conventional setup of axles (5) used in most states. These trailers can deliver 48 to 60 tons (depending on position of axles) of product vs 28 for most states. Makes the truck driver more productive. Go to, "Michigan and Canadian trucks", for different setups. JS

[johnsenkenn]

@senyko

Are you calculating in US tons ? the limit is max 80,000 pounds in most US state ?. what I understand interstate is 80,000 pound, is that a Federal regulation ?.

[senyko]

@johnsenkenn Yes, it is US tons. The states set the limits. The extra weight Michigan trucks can only travel in Michigan and some Canadian provinces. JS

[hcr403]

@senyko toledo, oh allows 161k and the upper parts of wi close to the u.p. allows 154k for the loggers. and our weight laws are easy but confusing at the same. to make it easy 13k per axle

[senyko]

@hcr403 Thanks for the info. JS

[Kakihara1979]

Suprising i must say the paver looks pretty high tech normaly everthying in the states are pretty low tech compared to the rest of the econom stabel countrys ...

[dodgerfan2004]

thats alot of tires

[yukonrott]

hey nice vid man ive watched this before in total awww....im here in central iowa and we do asphalt hauling we dont have trailers near this big cuz for one iowa laws suck.. we got travis trailers with only 3 axles. 2 on the ground at all time and one tag on the trailer and also a tag on the truck.. we work for mathy paving alot.. we move their plants also.. i know its all useless info to u but thought id share.. great vid

[ButlerSONG]

this smell bad

[chechnya]

Well look at that, blacks and whites. Nice to see non-brown people still in construction.

[CATZR600BRAAAAAP]

Yeah michigan!

[comettoPL]

How he could turn? This red one...

[senyko]

@comettoPL. Welcome from Michigan, USA. To turn, they pickup three axles and drag the rest around the corner. These trailers have been used in Michigan for over 40 years.

[heiltruckfan]

I love seeing all the extra axles in Michigan!!

[emile93]

crazy amount of wheel on them trucks

[miasphaltpaving]

What kind of asphalt are you using to lay the shoulder? Is it hot mix? How much asphalt can you lay with the double trailer before having to re-load?

[senyko]

@miasphaltpaving

I have not driven an asphalt truck myself, but the doubles should deliver 50 ton of asphalt. JS

[regdapimp06]

@miasphaltpaving Im not the owner of this vid but that is hot mix. You don't pave with cold mix.

[thew0lf1]

crap teh red truck has alot of wheels

[ph4ntomlord]

So how much mix does that trailer hold then?? With all those axles, I would imagine quite a few tons...!!! LOL

[senyko]

@ph4ntomlord

48 to 50 ton of material. Doubles will hold more.

JS

[TheFireman203]

wow they must have strickt weight limits

[caddy59]

@TheFireman203 Is 75 tons considered strict?

[odmcarp]

put this in the search line and see the future in paving......

[TheBooboo7112]

that trailer have an auger in it?

[senyko]

@TheBooboo7112

I believe that it is a conveyor belt.

JS

[lostcity1]

i lay asphalt now its fun and its not 2 much hard work and the pay is great only thing is wen the weathers bad no work which ia why im home now lol

[kevtm]

How long have you been doing Asphalt now lostcity1?

[darkyoda]

must be one heck of a loading gauge there to have so many axles on the trailers.

[19688555]

Steel track paver now that's old school to funny Lois Kay it's 2009 catch up.

[snowxracer]

so how did the second truck dump off the front trailer? unhook the back some where and dump the rest?

[senyko]

snowxracer,

Yes, and then get back in line. It actually is a good system.

JS

[grncrtr]

Loads like these are why the roads are made of CONCRETE and the shoulders are asphalt. Concrete can handle the loads.

[ganymedeIV4]

Obviously there isn't enough wheels on that trailer.

Ad more sets of wheels johnny.

[emutiny]

the owner has to show his overhead because he is making a million dollars off this project so he added some wheels

[ganymedeIV4]

well he should of thrown 2 dozen D's on it.

[eribertomedinaaceves]

porque tienen tantas ruedas? si las cargas no son tan pesadas, los camiones de acá jalan mas de 40 toneladas con la mitad de esas ruedas

[senyko]

Google translate: because they have so many wheels? if the loads are not as heavy trucks pull over here 40 tons with half of these wheels

I don't know if your 40 ton is gross. The gross is around 80 ton with net at 50 ton. The theory is less weight on pavement per axle for many axles. JS

[hdehart79]

This is crazy to me. I haul 15 ton with my tandem and the tractors haul 20ish. I hope they make far more an hour than we do to keep such specialized equipment. those setups would be useless for many things i do, even in road construction.

[goofyexponent]

I've hauled as much as 23 ton on my tandem.....grossed out of the scales at 35000 kgs or about 77000 pounds. I only went a mile from the pit and I would NEVER haul that kind of weight on a 3 axle truck any farther than that.

[kimpossibleFF5]

Our trucks hold 24 tons or 32 tons.

[kc8vje]

WOW!!!

I am lucky to even haul 27 tons of asphalt on my truck.

BTW how do they dump the second trailer in the paver? disconnect it, or tailgate it?

[senyko]

kc8vje,

Find a place to park the second trailer, disconnect and get back in line.

JS

[marttin60]

Holy shit .....How many ton do these guys haul?

[senyko]

The asphalt hauler rig should load 48 to 50 ton. The doubles and the truck shown at timelapse 3:10 should haul 50 to 52 ton. The larger ones (as show on, "Michigan and Canadian trucks")

would be in the 60 ton net class.

JS

[marttin60]

Damn. That makes for production. We only get 33 ton per load

[ninja750rider]

Did this for 5 years. Makes me tired just lookin' at it! Lol.

[senyko]

ninja750rider

I can relate to that!

JS

[schl0tte]

How stupid to build trucks n trailers with so many wheels

[senyko]

schl0tte,

Well they have been used here for more then forty years, so we know that they work. Makes the trucker more productive.

JS

[nchayfarmer]

how stupid for you to ask stupid questions I wish they done it here stupid ass laws here if you have more axles in north carolina you just have more weight unless you wanna pay for permits everytime you move the damn thing lol

[frontlinefever]

I'll bet they would be smart enough to use a pickup machine in the front of the paver if they were paving a driving lane. Besides the trucks are too slow to back up them big trailors to incorperate perfect paving techniques.

[andoman2k]

Paver op should learn how to run his machine. If you were on a drive lane you ride quality number would be junk if he stops the paver every time a truck backs in, which would equate to big fines from MDOT.

[senyko]

At .033 of the video timeline is a picture of a MDOT pickup. You are correct on how it should be done in the drive lane. Thanks for your comment.

JS

[deserthook]

thanks again senyko, i always liked those red river trailers. hot asphalt going out and sand or gravel coming back. a great way to deliver the product in a controlled manner.

[senyko]

Thanks deserthook

JS

[santo2500]

what part of the U.S. is this?? We dont use dump trucks like that, here in New England !!

[senyko]

You will see most of these rigs in Michigan and Canada.

JS

[kiatruck]

I enjoy that sight of 11 axles and 42 tires every time I go see my grandpa. Good video. Shows what a real truck is.

[senyko]

Thanks, kiatruck

JS

[senyko]

The straight 8 axle trailer can haul 13000 per axle, plus 32000 on the drive axles and 18000 on the steering axle. That totals come to 154,000 pounds or 77 ton (gross). It's possible to haul 91 ton on doubles with the axles spread out in Michigan. Check out "Michigan and Canadian trucks".

JS

[DAMITMANS]

how many ton does that truck carry, dam!

[kevtm]

That truck if fully loaded will carry about 48 tons

[senyko]

I have ordered sand and gravel from the doubles shown in picture and they will deliver 50 plus ton and the larger ones will deliver 60 ton.

JS
