80HST 2-axle reference
A hydraulic sliding-tail family combining movable running gear with a 16 ft 7 in hydraulic tail and a documented 50,000 lb concentrated rating over 10 ft.
Separate transport dimensions, main-tail geometry and the tail’s lifting limits.
Review the approach onto the main tail and any fold-under section, then the transition onto the deck. Keep the tail’s lifting duty separate from the trailer’s transport rating.
A wheeled machine can concentrate load during the transition even when its transport weight is below the deck rating. Check support positions through the full loading path.
Compare the changes in height, coupling or extension state before switching references.
Usable support space, nominal deck spans and the overall transport envelope remain separate measurements.
Documented spans Shared numeric scale
Spans compare documented values. They are not positioned or scaled to the photograph.
Manufacturer-stated hydraulic tail length
View dimension source ↗Tare, gross vehicle rating and structural load ratings describe different limits. None alone establishes allowable payload or legal axle loads.
These applications identify what to investigate. Suitability depends on the transported assembly, support points and the selected trailer build.
Concentrated wheel loads need deck and crossmember verification. Record the actual tyre contact lines rather than treating the whole machine length as load distribution.
Short wheel contact areas create concentrated deck loading. Record axle reactions where available and keep the load basis explicit.
A roller drum or milling machine track can concentrate load into a small section. Review flooring and crossmember support as well as total capacity.
Equipment selection requires verified weights and ratings, load support, coupling and axle analysis, securement planning and route review. This reference is not engineering, permit or route-clearance approval.
