For an amateur builder, transportation costs make up a significant portion of the cost of materials. They are especially large if you need to carry a little, and you have to hire a heavy vehicle for this. This is exactly what often happens when all work stops due to a lack of, for example, a dozen or two long boards or, as they are also called, “whips”.

What if you use your own car for this? After all, even an old, loose “penny” does not “eat up” as much fuel as a rented ZIL.

The fact that this is technically possible is evidenced by the experience of our readers who encountered similar problems and decided to use their own car to the fullest.

The first method of transporting a “pin number” is the simplest, since it does not require any modifications to the vehicle. You only need a trunk and a strong rope (Fig. 1). The boards are stacked and then the ends are attached to the front and rear bumpers. At the same time, the “whips” bend and do not sway when the car moves. In this way, you can transport, for example, up to 0.3 m3 of dry lining, and this is a very decent volume.

The advantage of the other method is that the person being transported has two points of support (Fig. 2): in addition to the trunk, the boards rest on a frame installed in the front of the car. Frame design- simple, this support can be welded from a steel angle. It attaches very quickly, since all its connections to the car are detachable and bolted. To attach the frame to the trunk, two links are cut out from the same corner and holes are drilled into them for fasteners. There will always be a place for this kit in the garage, and in order to “get” a few boards, you don’t need to empty your wallet again by paying for an almost empty truck trip.

Finally, another possible option for transporting long materials involves using a trailer (see photo). To do this, you just need to assemble the simplest articulated sawhorses from what you have on hand and install them in the body of the trailer so that the lower ends of this stand stand “at odds” in the corners. All that remains is to fasten the structure in this position with two boards and you can safely go to the nearest retail outlet.

It is impossible to rigidly fasten the transported boards to the upper cross member of the stand - otherwise troubles will inevitably arise when turning. It is enough to make a loose cross-shaped bandage - the effect will be almost the same as with a rotating platform (which, if desired, is not so troublesome to make).

In conclusion, we note: any of the listed methods of transporting long boards requires extreme caution. It is possible to transport a “long piece” in a passenger car only at low speed and over short distances. You should not drive onto busy highways so as not to interfere with traffic. Do not forget to secure the red ones at the ends of the transported material. If these requirements are met, traffic police officers will in most cases treat your problems with understanding.

Based on materials from the magazine "DOM"

Wood is one of Russia's natural resources. The amount of timber harvested significantly exceeds the country's domestic needs, so its export has become a significant part of foreign trade. The Russian Federation is a significant player in the timber market, providing 5% of global timber production. In recent years, the main transportation of lumber, timber, logs, and round timber has been directed not to Europe, but to Asia - Korea, Japan. Finland is in second place in terms of lumber purchase volumes, exporting 36% of its timber. In general, almost 80% of Russian timber goes to non-CIS countries.

Foreign trade requires ensuring timely and safe delivery of cargo, lumber has become one of the list of professional services provided by Interlogistics LLC. Our company is ready to deliver wood throughout Russia and anywhere in the world.

Methods of transporting lumber

The largest timber suppliers are based in the Siberian region; the territorial proximity of Asian countries makes it possible to supply lumber by rail. When states are remote, multimodal transportation is used, including sea shipment. The wood is delivered in gondola cars and stored at the port. After the ship arrives, the cargo is sent to its destination.

Transportation of timber and lumber by rail is the most practical, inexpensive and rational way. Direct railway transportation of timber to the countries of Southeast Asia in 2015 increased by more than 2%. The timber carriage is equipped with two end walls that prevent the cargo from shifting. This type of rolling stock is a platform with welded or removable struts. This wagon is designed to transport cargo that does not require protection from weather conditions. The second option is a gondola car with metal sides; its lack of a roof makes loading and unloading easier.

One of the delivery methods to Asian countries is sea transportation of timber on barges, which is carried out mainly in containers. Shipment of 40-foot containers with lumber takes place in the port of St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga and other major ports of Russia.

Among the advantages of this method, it is worth noting loading under the control of the sender and subsequent sealing of the cargo. Transportation of lumber in containers protects the wood from damage and simplifies the preparation of accompanying documents.

Transportation of timber and lumber by road is carried out taking into account high safety requirements; if improperly secured, logs can damage the body and cabin of the car. For reliable delivery, trailers with increased sides are required. The choice of transport is based on the length of the trunks; short timber (up to 3 m) is transported by trucks with trailers. Long logs (up to 6 m) are transported by various types of timber trucks.

To ensure the basic rule of transport logistics - moving cargo to the recipient within a certain period of time and at minimal cost, a combined transportation scheme is used. Delivery of lumber occurs in several stages.

The forwarder picks up the cargo from the trading warehouse or sawmill and, using the services of a Russian carrier, delivers it to a transit warehouse located near the border. Transportation of wood is organized in accordance with the requirements and rules provided by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

Non-specialized equipment is equipped with devices that ensure transportation safety and prevent the wood and boards from moving. Special devices include: bunks, anti-slip combs, spikes and visors that protect the cabin from impacts. The load itself is secured with straps and chain ties.

To ensure the safety of forests and lumber from wood species considered valuable (oak, beech, larch), they are treated with special compounds that prevent rotting and destroy pests. To protect the cargo from exposure to negative climatic conditions, it is packed in plastic film.

After unloading at the transit warehouse, the cargo awaits the issuance of an international phytosanitary certificate; if necessary, export clearance is organized. The next stage of delivery is carried out by an international carrier transporting the lumber to the recipient in Europe.

Among the advantages of such a scheme:

• prompt delivery is ensured, there is no need to look for international transport in a remote logging area;
• the services of a Russian carrier will cost less;
• Due to the popular destination, you can count on savings with an international carrier.

Features of timber and lumber removal

The work of wood exporters has its own characteristics; these products are harvested in remote areas where transportation conditions are difficult. Only professional logistics companies can organize uninterrupted transportation, regardless of seasonal and weather factors.

Asian countries have become the main consumers of Russian timber; supplies to the country are carried out from the Siberian and Far Eastern regions, this is due to geographical proximity, which reduces delivery costs. Lumber exports to these countries account for about 50% of the total sales of unprocessed spruce and pine. This is facilitated by the ban on timber logging in many areas of China.

Documents for export of lumber

When carrying out foreign economic activity, the customer must know what documents are needed for the transportation of timber and lumber. Filling out the documents correctly is no less important than finding a reliable buyer. Illegal export registration leads to idle time of timber cargo and financial losses for the parties. Legislative measures are being taken to increase the export of processed lumber. The state has determined different amounts of duty, which depend on the type of product. Exporting lumber from Russia will require the following documents:

• certificate of origin, which is issued by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry;
• phytosanitary certificate for the consignment;
• supply contract;
• invoice;
• specifications;
• payment order for payment of customs duties.

The preparation of foreign economic transactions, insurance and customs documents must be entrusted to professionals.
Wood is traditionally used as a universal building material, so the demand for it is not falling. We will deliver your cargo to the specified address on time. Our specialists are ready to answer any questions and offer optimal cargo transportation conditions.

Transportation of lumber can be accompanied by many difficulties along the way. Especially if it is necessary to transport products over long distances. When you need to transport a small amount of building material, you can load it yourself, but when it is a large volume, you cannot do without the additional use of specialized equipment for loading and unloading.

Today there is a wide range of equipment and machines capable of providing transport and loading and unloading operations. And now, for example, transportation of lumber 8 m long can be carried out by rail. It all depends on the wishes of the customer and his financial capabilities.

Lumber

How to transport round timber correctly?

First of all, it is worth mentioning the loading of raw materials in round form. When trees are selectively cut down, it is recommended that lumber be transported by vehicles with equipped manipulators. This is the only way to achieve the required level of maneuverability in the process of transporting and loading individual logs. When the forest is completely cut down on an existing plot of land, experts recommend using a special crane with a large boom and the necessary lifting capacity. Thus, loading raw materials is possible even from the most inaccessible places.

Important! To load large-volume products and individual logs more than twenty meters long, it is necessary to use the services of a timber tractor-trailer, additionally equipped with a spreading trailer.

Transportation of lumber by timber tractor

It is suitable for transporting building materials such as round timber to storage facilities located near the felling site. To transport common wood products by road, you can use log trucks. This type of transport is usually used to transport large volumes of timber. After all, this car consumes little fuel.

When the volume of wood required for transportation to warehouses does not exceed 150 cubic meters. meters it is recommended to use motor transport.

Organization of transportation of large consignments

There are a variety of ways to ensure the delivery of lumber to your destination. But it is important to correctly calculate the profitability of using a particular transportation method.

When the transportation region is extremely far away, you need to correctly choose the optimal method of transporting raw materials. So that the pricing policy for this type of service is minimal.

Transportation of timber by rail

Transporting building materials over long distances by truck is most often unprofitable. In this case, it is recommended to transport wood products by rail. Practice shows that one rolling stock can accommodate about 90 cubic meters. meters of forest.

Important! Delivery of large quantities of building materials over long distances is beneficial through the use of rail transport. This is the most profitable way to transport such a quantity of cargo.

The supply of edged products is profitable only in the case of large-volume batches. Otherwise, using rail transport is unprofitable.

Transportation of lumber by crane

Transportation of lumber by manipulator is another affordable way to deliver woodworking products to the required location.

A loader crane is a device that combines a crane and a vehicle. Thus, using only this machine, you can load, unload and transport lumber to your destination.

You will not be able to find a more maneuverable, compact and multifunctional vehicle. Any road is not an obstacle for the crane. In this case, cargo delivery will be carried out efficiently, the products will remain intact and safe, even taking into account the fact that the road may be long. Moreover, practice shows that in places where the usual crane is not able to turn, the manipulator does everything quickly and deftly.

Crane arm

Important! Don’t forget that by using a crane you are immediately “killing two birds with one stone”. There is no need to separately hire a crane for loading and unloading operations, as well as a truck for further transportation of wood products to their destination.

Transportation of products without special equipment

When it is necessary to transport wood material in small quantities without the use of non-specialized equipment, it is important to ensure conditions for the safe transportation of products. In this case, it is worth additionally using anti-slip combs, bunks, spikes, etc.

Important! Particular attention must be paid to the placement of lumber between the bunks of the vehicle. Including – the ends of the products must be aligned along the length.

If all safety conditions and proper organization of work are applied, the lumber will be delivered to its destination on time, intact and safe.

Transportation of long items. Boards, timber, fittings, metal profiles are sold in standard length - 6 meters. And if metal, even for money, can be cut into the pieces you need right from the seller, then woodworkers do not provide such a service. Take it as is and drink it at home. On the other hand, you often don’t know in advance what length of workpiece you will need. And it is preferable to take unsawn ones in order to get the desired size already in place.

Why is it better to carry it yourself rather than order delivery?

There are several reasons for this. The first is financial. “Giving a newspaper writer 500 rubles,” as in Russia, will not work. The seller's delivery to my home costs 20 euros (at the current exchange rate this is 1,500 rubles). And it doesn’t matter whether you are carrying 300 boards or 3. The car will not be a Gazelle, not a Bychok, or a Valdai. And it will be some well-worn full-size Volvo FL with a loading platform of at least 6 meters (so that nothing sticks out), and therefore a total length of at least 8. And it’s not at all a fact that with such dimensions it will be able to pick up mine without any problems narrow street into an even narrower alley.
You can, of course, order delivery not from the seller, but from a third-party carrier, fortunately, advertisements for cargo transportation are by sea. But even here there are plenty of pitfalls. Firstly, the majority (90%) of such carriers have all-metal vans with a loading length of no more than 3 meters. Secondly, delivery still won’t cost less than 15 euros.
The second reason is organizational. I am not in the mood to negotiate with someone, call someone, order someone, then wait, explain the way, meet, accompany, etc. It’s much easier and safer to pick it up and bring it yourself. In addition, both woodworkers and metalworkers work like white people, on weekdays from 8 to 16. This is understandable - after all, they are not aimed at private home-made workers, but at professional builders who work at the same time. And for the sake of several boards, I have to leave work earlier, and lose not only on delivery, but also in salary. And if you order delivery, then you will have to lose even more working time - after all, you need to place an order before the end of the working day, reserve time for its loading, delivery and unloading, and at the same time meet up to 16 hours.
The third reason is the quality of the material. When you pick up the boards from the base, you have the opportunity to choose them. If you see that the board is crooked, like a Turkish saber, put it aside. If you see that the board is screwed in, you also put it aside. You only take straight ones, even if they are used for formwork for concreting. For yourself! You choose better boards and think - where will the ones you put aside go? Will the seller write them off as substandard? May be. Or maybe not, because it’s not profitable for him. Where is it more profitable to sell them? How? And wait until some builders order a large batch. A dozen crooked boards for 300-400 pieces - no one will shake the right, even if they notice. The seller will not go through the entire huge pack in search of substandard items. But even if a private owner orders 10-15 boards, they can be “diluted” with curves. Swear, prove, issue a refund - only a few are capable of this. The majority will silently “swallow” the substandard, and will only mutter with friends over beer about how they were deceived.

How do others do it?

Of course, I researched this issue using Google. The ingenuity of the Russian people knows no bounds. No, it is quite possible that a German burgher would also be happy to come up with and use something similar. But the German Law, having seen the home-made design, will “press” him so hard that next time he will consider it lucky to order the delivery of a croaker by the largest truck he can imagine. We are simpler in this regard. A lot of things are prohibited. But what is not prohibited is allowed, and this opens up some freedom for creativity. In Russia, judging by the designs presented below, in some places there is complete freedom of expression. Almost all the photos were stolen by me from Drive2.ru, may their authors forgive me.

So, for humane reasons, I omit the most barbaric method of transportation - tying it to a tow bar and dragging the load.
The first thing that comes to mind is to use a rack on the roof of the car to transport long items. Because no passenger car’s interior is capable of accommodating 6-meter boards. If the car is a station wagon, with a long roof - even better. True, if you plan to travel on public roads with the possibility of meeting with a traffic police inspector, then the long length will have to be centered on the car so that it does not protrude forward or backward more than required. The disadvantage is the overload of the front cross member of the trunk, which accounts for almost the entire weight of the cargo. To avoid damage to the body, you have to limit yourself in the amount of cargo.

Do you want to carry more without breaking the trunk? Racks and supports are being invented that transfer the weight of the load to the bumpers and their power elements.

And in a more professional design - metal, rubberized, painted in body color.

But no matter how you look at it, you can’t carry much on the roof. The center of gravity is too high. Next comes the thought of the trailer. Here you can...
There are, of course, trailers with a loading platform longer than 6 meters. But we will not consider them. First of all, it's too simple. And secondly, ordinary citizens do not buy such trailers. Unless, of course, they are going to make money with them. Ordinary citizens use the trailers they already have.
When the length of the load is short, no special problems arise.

But when the length of the cargo is significantly greater than the capabilities of the trailer... The simplest thing is to load it as is.

Drive a little faster than a running person (so as not to get spun out) and hope that traffic cops do not meet on the way.

If periodic transportation of long items is planned at the stage of purchasing a trailer, you can buy a trailer with a sliding drawbar. Or make a sliding drawbar yourself. The advantage of this solution is the ability to place a lengthy vehicle on a trailer so that its center of gravity is located in front of the wheel axle. This significantly reduces the risk of the trailer becoming loose, which means it improves controllability and increases transportation speed. The disadvantage is that the drawbar, when extended, loses a lot of rigidity, which significantly limits the load on it, that is, the weight of the cargo being transported.

Sometimes even on the drawbar near the coupling device they arrange a kind of “nest” into which the front ends of the long length are placed. Its purpose is to prevent the load from shifting forward during sudden braking.

Further development of the trailed theme is the location of the front end of the length above the car. The idea was apparently drawn from drivers of small trucks who transport long items supported on a frame behind the cab.

This can be a hastily welded rack for transporting several boards 1-2 times.

Maybe the frame is more serious and lower in height, because the pickup truck body allows you to not lift the boards high.

It can be a rather frail-looking structure, which, however, holds...

More than one cubic meter of long boards. I wonder how the trailer tongue can handle this?

And this is a completely professionally converted trailer, which even traffic cops can’t find fault with.

However, all these structures (including the truck) personally remind me very much of a rocket launcher. Where will it “shoot” in the event of an accident and who will it “cover” with one gulp?

And some even set up a makeshift, but still serial production of Katyushas. Demand creates supply.

The next step is to position the load horizontally over the machine and trailer. To do this, a special frame is mounted in the trailer, designed to hold the load at the desired height. The disadvantage is obvious - the center of gravity of the load is too high and does not allow you to load much. Unfortunately, there are no photographs, there is only a short video on YouTube.

Next comes the thought - why not secure the front end of the load to the roof of the car? Let's secure it!

True, we need to somehow solve the problem of rotation. And also - the problem of cargo shifting during maneuvers and on vertical bends in the terrain. Therefore, the load is secured on the roof of the car with a “soft” fastening - rubber bands.

Thoughts about full dissolution are wandering in our minds. But how can it be reconciled with the traffic rules?

And for some, these thoughts are even embodied in metal!

The creator promises to transport cargo up to 12 meters long! Judging by the absence of a license plate, this design is not intended to be shown to traffic police inspectors.

What came to my mind?

Use an existing trailer as a spreader. To do this, you need turning bunks and some kind of “adapter” (frame) between them and the trailer. The same bunks and frame will need to be installed in the Transporter body. Yes, you will have to transport long vehicles with the back door open. But this is perhaps the only drawback of this scheme.
What are the advantages?
1. The ability to almost perfectly fit the cargo into the dimensions of the road train. Maybe it will protrude backwards from the trailer, but only a little.
2. Stability in motion. The load is capable of rotating together with the bunks around their vertical axis and around the cradle in the horizontal plane. That is, vibrations of the trailer are not transmitted to the load, and vibrations of the load are not transmitted to the trailer. The front end of the load is stabilized on the tractor. All this (in theory) should completely eliminate the phenomenon of “unwinding” (“baptism”) of a loaded trailer at speed.
3. Loading (ballasting) the stern of the tractor with payload. The heavier the trailer and the lighter the stern of the tractor (read - the worse the traction of its rear wheels), the easier it is for the trailer to move this stern to the side. With subsequent skidding, folding of the road train and other troubles. Therefore, if you have to drag a heavy trailer, then it is advisable to also load the stern of the tractor with some kind of cargo. This scheme involves using the same cargo that you are transporting as ballast. And don’t move the notorious sandbags or cast iron ingots. From here
4. The ability to carry more cargo than one trailer could.

The idea of ​​this scheme is so superficial that it is, of course, not original. When I told my neighbor in the garage, Vova, what I was going to build this time, he was “delighted” by the fact that some guy here was already transporting loads just like that. Without special devices, of course, he just lays it on the floor and somehow secures it... It’s all the more strange that on the Internet, despite all the thoroughness of my searches, I didn’t find anything like it. What may be confusing to many is that when making a sharp turn, the load can catch (and damage) the door frame of the van. Or some peculiarities of mentality do not allow driving with the door open... So, I will be the first to test the theory with practice. Or I'll break stereotypes. Or not...

So, dissolution. Of course, before taking on the metal, it was necessary to somehow check the viability of the idea. The “layout” of the dissolution turned out to be very simple. I took two pieces of 50x50 timber and cut them so that one of them fit tightly (but not tightly) between the sides of the trailer (1.5 meters), the second - between the wheel arches of the Transporter (1.2 meters). I bought 15 100x40 boards from the base - it was just time to re-lay the floor in the hallway. I tied this pack in several places, turning it into a single whole. And he tied it with rigging slings to the beams lying in their places. To prevent the slings running under the bars from fraying on the way, I placed the bars on thin longitudinal sticks - “skis”. The rear beam, together with a pack of boards, was pulled with slings to loops on the floor of the trailer. The front beam (the one in the Transporter body) was not attached to anything - it should slide freely on the “skis” back and forth and be able to turn. And everything worked out great! The 6-meter boards completely fit into the dimensions of the road train - the tailgate of the trailer even closed behind them. And since the pack was lower than the sides, the only thing that attracted attention from the outside was the open back door of the Transporter. Maneuverability? In the city, and even more so on the highway, it is more than sufficient. And when maneuvering in narrow country lanes, problems arose: when turning, the pack rested against the edge of the Transporter doorway. The front beam was shifted too far forward - its center of rotation was directly above the rear axle of the car.

Is it possible to carry long items like this? Quite. But this was not enough for me. I wanted, as always, a technically beautiful embodiment of this idea in metal. So as not to have to tie everything down during loading. So that the load does not slide on the floor. So that the turning point of the load is where I need it, and not where it is easier. So that, finally, the entire process of loading, transportation and unloading looks professional. And not handicraft.

This is what happened in the end.
The front frame is the one that is installed in the Transporter body.

In the back. It is prevented from shifting back and forth and left and right by the wheel arches, against which it actually rests. Alas, there are no lifting loops in the floor of the Transporter, so it is pressed to the floor only by its own weight.

The steering axis of the bunks is located in the middle between the rear edges of the wheel arches and the bumper. The third transverse frame support rests against the rear body beam. The frame makes it possible to close the rear door properly. So that when you drive without a load, less dust, splashes and prying eyes fly into the body. And the aerodynamics are better.

Koniks. Front and rear are absolutely identical and interchangeable. Made from the same 40x40x3 corner as both frames. In the most loaded places, the structure is reinforced with sections of a corner welded towards the main one - in fact, it is turned into a square pipe.

Bushings with end plates at the corners - for securing loads. The load should be attached specifically to the bunks, and not to the frame or floor of the trailer, so as not to interfere with the bunks turning freely.

The axis is an element for attaching the bunks to the frame.

The pipe in which the king pin rotates consists of two parts. The gap between these parts is for the passage of the axis. The hole for the axle is in the kingpin of the bunks.

The axis is in place. The design is simple and uncomplicated, but allows you to rotate the bunks 360 degrees, as well as quickly remove and install them without using any tools.

The rear frame is the one that goes on the trailer.

Nearby are guy ropes and spacers.

Installed in a trailer.

I decided to secure this frame in the trailer body with guy ropes, which hold the corner posts of the sides with their hooks. You can’t install end sides with this type of fastening, but they’re not really needed when transporting long items. Additionally, the frame is pulled to the floor with rigging slings so that it does not bounce on uneven surfaces. It might be easier to bolt it to the floor, but I don’t want to drill holes in the new (under warranty) trailer yet.

First load. 15 boards (or are they already beams?) 100x50 - to replace rotten boards covering the “holes” in the garage floor. On top of them are 13 150x25 boards - for Vika’s grandmother to use for her dacha to fence off the beds. By the way, they had to be chosen very carefully. They took one out of four or even out of five - the rest were either rotten or cracked.

The load is tied to the front bunks with a chain, and almost no tension - so that it can slide back and forth along the cradle on bends in the terrain and in turns. It is tied tightly to the rear ones with a rigging sling.

A few numbers.
The width of the bunk bed is 0.8 meters. Height - 0.6 meters. We multiply one by the other and get 0.48 square meters - the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the load. We multiply by the length - 6 meters - and we get almost 3 cubic meters of useful volume.

The base of the bunks (the distance between the front and rear axles) is 3.55 meters. In this configuration. The fact is that the trailer bogie does not stand exactly in the center of the body, but is slightly offset towards the stern. Therefore, in order to place the bunks exactly above the axis of the balancers, the front guys had to be made longer than the rear ones by about 100 mm. If they are swapped, the bunks will move forward and the base will be reduced to approximately 3.3 meters. There is another option. Rearrange the frame in the Transporter body backwards. The axis of the front bunks will move forward by about a meter. This will allow (in theory) to transport long items about 8 meters long, but there will be little left of maneuverability.

The lodgments of both bunks are raised above the floor by 330 mm for one and only purpose - so that the load is above the wheel arches of the Transporter, and the protruding end does not rest against them when turning.
Load - boards with a length of 5.92 to 6.18 meters. Weight offhand - 400-500 kg. Reach beyond the front cradle is 0.35 meters. Reach beyond the rear cradle is 2.2 meters. The reach beyond the rear clearance of the trailer is 0.8 meters. Weight distribution according to the cradle - 1/3 of the weight on the front, 2/3 on the rear.

Country maneuvers. The entrance from the path through the gate to the street is at an angle of approximately 85 degrees. Backing up. Uphill.

Through the window. It is clearly visible that the boards could have been painlessly moved forward another 10-15 centimeters. But the fact that the chain was stretched to the limit, and even the right edge of the frame came off the floor, I saw later only in the photo. So, I still pulled it too tight. Next time we need to give more freedom.

Second transportation. Fittings. 204 meters eight. 34 rods of 6 meters. Weight - some 80 kg.
The reinforcement is flexible and sag noticeably. The plan was to buy boards from a nearby site, lay them around the reinforcement and tighten the reinforcement to them so that it would not dangle. But alas, the necessary boards were not available, so the fittings had to be transported this way.

The “tail” hangs down (wrapped with a bright strap), but does not reach the floor of the trailer.

So, the dissolution passed the test of work. What is the result?
1. Maneuverability. No problem. The road train is controlled in exactly the same way as without dissolution. City intersections - if you can get through there just with a trailer, then you can get through with a trailer. Critical turning angles (this is when you can no longer see the rear of the trailer in the mirror) occur only when maneuvering in cramped conditions. But even in these places, it seems that the trailer tongue will hit the bumper sooner than the boards will hit the edge of the doorway. The photos show that I did not load the entire width of the trays. Yes, for a reserve of maneuverability. And this supply turned out to be more than sufficient. In principle, I would drive into the same narrow passages with a dissolution loaded at its full width.
2. Stability at speed. Gorgeous. Like with an empty trailer. No extraneous vibrations or tendency to unpredictable maneuvers. My last flight with boards was without disbandment. Those boards that I did not find in Narva were found in Jõhvi. But they turned out to be 3 meters long, not 6. Therefore, we had to remove the spread and simply load the boards into the trailer. At a speed of about 90 km/h, slight fluctuations were detected over time, determined by the vibration of the calf muscles. It's like the wheel is out of balance. It was a loaded trailer shaking the car by the towbar. So, with a loaded dissolution there is no such thing.
3. Load capacity. It can be said that the dismantling of five hundred kilograms of boards was not noticed. Although for a trailer this was just the maximum permitted load. 330 kg of cargo + 50 kg frame with bunks = 380 kg. The load on the stern of the Transporter was 170 kg of cargo + 50 kg of frame with bunks = 230 kg. How much is possible? Don't know. But I probably wouldn’t load the stern with more than 350 kilograms. That is 300 kg. payload. With the same weight distribution, the trailer would weigh 600-700 kg. Total ton. Or about two cubic meters in wood equivalent. I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to test this.
4. Convenience of loading and unloading. There is one drawback. The bunks are a bit high. I don’t want to pull the boards back, and to unload them to the side, I need to lift them too high to throw them over the bunk. And we need to somehow find the correct slack for the chain on the front bunk so that it doesn’t break the structure when the load moves forward. Or maybe not use a chain, but something else?
Yes, you also have to remove the support wheel with the stand from the trailer drawbar. Otherwise it hits the load. But this is already a trifle.

Something like that)))).
