There are many styles of suitable trailers on the market from RGN "low boys" and slide-axle trailers to tag tilt bed trailers that are self-loading and unloading.  S-220 on a Tilt Bed Trailer The S-Series machines are portable systems and are transported completely assembled.  Depending on the firebox model, they can be transported by Air Burners' custom firebox trailer, low-boy trailer, step-deck trailer, flatbed trailer or in an ocean shipping container (S-100 Series only).   How do I drag my fire box without causing any damage to it? Attach a properly rated steel cable to the eye pad in the front of the machine and drag it with a bulldozer or excavator sufficiently powered to handle the weight of the S-Series unit. The 300 Series units weigh approximately 50,000 lbs, the 200 series 35,000 lbs. and the 100 series 26,000 lbs. Make sure there are no major obstacles in the way, such as large stumps or rocks. Open the rear door, so that the ashes fall out, if applicable. How do I prepare my fire box for transport?  Is there anything to disassemble?  The rear door handle should be secured with the provided locking bolt and nut, and the panels should be checked for proper positioning in their brackets. There is nothing to disassemble. Can I use my stretch RGN to transport an S-327 fire box? Yes. S-327 on Single Drop Deck Trailer What is the best way to load and unload a fire box? What kind of trailer should be used? We recommend the use of a properly rated crane to lift the units on and off the trailer.  A "Landoll" type sliding axle  trailer  may be used without the need for a crane for the S-200 and S-100 units. What is the usual way to transport an Air Burners S-Series or T-Series machine from your factory to my landfill or place of business? You would contract with a common carrier to have the S-Series machine (Dimensions & Weight Table) picked up by a drop-deck, low-boy trailer or RGN trailer. The trucker will usually take care of all the loading, rigging, over-size load road permits, etc. S-217 Transported by Dual Sliding Axle Landoll Trailer All our machines can be transported by any drop-deck trailer, "low-boy" or suitable dual sliding axle ("Landoll") trailer (the latter usually obviating the need for a crane).  The S-200 and S-100 Series units are not over-size and a flatbed trailer will usually suffice to meet the definitions of a "legal" load. S-217 Unloading from Landoll Trailer The T-Series units are transported by 102" wide flatbed trailer.  Two units can be carried on one truck. The load is not over-size. Customers sometimes pick up their mobile units by pick-up truck. Air Burners ships all its trench burners with an installed adapter from MIL hitch to ball hitch for that purpose. Your towing vehicle must be equipped with an electric brake controller, the proper hitch and wiring, and it must be large enough to handle the trench burners gross weight.  The dual-axle trailer is equipped with electric brakes on and is properly balanced to facilitate highway towing.  (Go here for a general trailer towing checklist). S-217 on "Tilt-Trailer" Hauled by Dump Truck We will be pleased to recommend a carrier that has experience with transporting both our S-Series and T-Series air curtain burners. Overseas (international) shipments are handled by Kühne & Nagel, Inc., unless requested otherwise by the customer.  They provide all logistics support, including door-to-door deliveries to most countries, as well as local customs clearance. How do I determine the center of gravity of my fire box? The approximate center of gravity is marked on all fire boxes manufactured from 2001 onwards.   Previous Page Top of Page
