Here is my Movin On rig of Sonny Pruitt, on the show they hauled pretty much anything and everything with several episodes using a flat bed trailer.

That looks TERRIFIC! Very professionally done; I love the trailer and load and the entire display area is first class!

One more photo of the trailer for some added detail. Thanks, I am waiting on one last trailer for the MACK.

Great looking flatbed trailer.... too bad there's really not any decent 1/18 construction equipment available. There's some "passable toys," but....... 🙄 🙄

Fantastic. I love trucks and wish I had room for them.

I redid the simulated tie downs, so it looks more smooth and realistic. I used plastic tie straps, each tie down used three tie straps to make it work. I think it looks better this way.

Yes, the plastic straps look great. The previous were OK but these are more realistic looking. Excellent job!

Well....... 🙄 🙄 🙄 ...kind of.
- Assuming that's a metal pipe load, there's simply no way it would be deemed "safe" - there's no way to load or unload each pipe. They would simply roll off the sides. Each pipe needs to be secured separately or in pairs, then anchored to the flatbed as a "bundle."
OR
Vertical side posts should be in place to prevent any pipe from rolling off either side.
OR
The pipe load could be secured together as ONE load (as shown ) but then there needs to be racket cables to secure it to the flatbed and a "master hook" to remove all 10 pieces as ONE unit.
- I'm sorry, but I see ALL your beautiful 1/18 scale flatbed "attaching detail" and I want to use it! Trust me, I know.... it's a PITA to simulate "scale tension" on ratchets & chains, but it looks oh-so-cool. 😎 😎
