Solution
Dear EditoR
Our Unit had a problem getting the new lnger6oll-±and 780T a6phalt
paving machine on and of the M870 6emitraile²
³he paver'6 6c´ed bowl bottomed oUt on the ramp approach. µhi6
damaged the 6emitrailer and broke oF the mounting bolt6 on the
paver¶6 bowl·
We 6olved the problem by making loading ramp6 ¸¹om exce66 wood
cribbing. We cut the cribbing into two º»¸t x 1º»in piece6 that are eight
inche6 high where they meet the t¼Aile¼½
³he ramp6 eliminate any damage to the 6emitrailer and pave²
We a/5¾ U6e the6e ramp6 to load and unload the ±S28 ¿Àmpo roller
and CBÁ3B vibratoÂY rolle²
