What changes with the configuration
The beam, recessed and flat-deck references retain their own identities. An alternate swing-clearance option is not evidence that all dimensions, reactions or load ratings are unchanged.

Fontaine
Magnitude 65
Five-axle heavy-haul references with a nominal 28 ft main deck and distinct beam, recessed and flat deck forms. An alternate swing-clearance reference keeps the neck option visible without assuming unchanged ratings.

How to read this model
A heavy-haul family with several deck forms and documented axle/coupling variations. It needs a system-level comparison of the load, neck and rear group.
What controls the shortlist
Establish the load interface and tractor clearance before choosing by nominal class. Rear axle spacing is a geometric fact, not a determination of permissible axle load in a jurisdiction.
Questions for the build-sheet review
- What deck form and neck/swing-clearance option are required?
- Which component ratings control the complete combination?
- What support chart and axle analysis correspond to that assembly?

Overall length is not usable deck length. A published side-rail width does not establish the unobstructed support width. Values above come from documentation, not from image measurements.
Capacity with its conditions
No comparable payload rating is established by this reference. Obtain the configuration-specific load chart.
Structural ratings do not approve axle loads, the tractor connection, route clearance or a permit.
What to verify
- Deck-height scope or source consistency requires review; do not derive a loaded-height result from the artwork or model name.
- Rating basis: 65 tons in 16 ft as a 3+2 with gooseneck extension to 184
- Documented optional configuration. Numeric ratings are withheld until the matching build-specific chart is confirmed.
- Match the selected deck, neck and axle configuration to the actual build sheet.
- Read the complete capacity and support conditions at the source; a model-family rating is not automatically transferable.
