Carson Low Loader, Globeliner and CAT equipment

[Trucker Al]

This is my Carson Low Loader with custom inlaid oak decking and operational winch pulled by a Tamiya Globeliner tractor, loaded with CAT tractor equipment.

[B-Train Hauler]

It is a very sharp and detailed rig! I like these nice touch on the chaining and floor. And I also like a lot these sunny pictures :cool: It add a pretty shine to the yellow of your rig.
I'm not familar with Carson's product, did you motorised legs? I see that wire on some pics (better view on #5)...
Anyway, you did here a very accurate setup! Congrats:)

[Trucker Al]

Thanks for the comments. The legs are not motorized on the Carson trailer. The winch is motorized. There are 6 AA cells under the front deck.
I get some of the chains and turn buckles from Ric at PMD and some of the chain comes from Michale's.
The Carson trailer is all machined aluminum and very well made.
The Sun comes from Southern California (-:

Nice rig...

[Espeefan]

Great photos! I would like to see more members take pictures like these, outside, under natural lighting. The effect is huge! Now that spring is here, maybe we'll see a few more outdoor photos.

I really like the Cat D9. What scale is it and who makes it? Norscot?

[RAIDERS]

lookin good trucker al..love the way u did the wood on the trailer...got to love the sun in so cal.lol..

[BRICKNICK]

Looks great man,nice fleet. Only one issue too much yellow imo. I would paint the trailer wheels white. Then paint the globe liner a different color just to brake up the yellow madness lol. Or just put black stripes and cat symbols on the tractor and make it a catipillar transporter.

[hauler_10-4]

Good looking load there driver.

[diddys trucking]

hi love the job you did where did you get the cat motor from

[tc1cat]

Very nice! The D.O.T. stripes set the trailer off really well.

[Claus]

I really like the Cat D9. What scale is it and who makes it? Norscot?

Nathan, I believe that D9 is by 1st Gear, 1/25 scale.

[Trucker Al]

Claus,

Yes, the CAT D9 is 1/25 scale and very detailed. See it here:

[Exclusive RC]

very clean job with the deck, great touch!

[Claus]

Did you use the decking from a Tamiya flatbed trailer kit or did you buy wood from a hobby supplier or what exactly did you do? It looks fantastic.

[toniolillo]

I really like the set

[Claus]

I still go back and look at this build sometimes, so bright and vibrant! That trailer looks so much better with color and wood decking.

[Scott M]

Not to be too much of a jerk but that build was from 2011....

[Trucker Al]

Thanks Claus,
She still looks as good today as she did 5 years ago. See RCX 2016 pictures.

[Claus]

No problem! I guess I'm a jerk but I still like going back and looking at some of the older builds. Some guys may have missed some great builds if they were not around here 5 years ago or so.

[Bo Wallen]

I think is good. Iv'e missed a lot of what you dug up :) Thanks Claus.

[Scott M]

I'm sorry, what I meant was if the truck wasnt in as good condition as it was five years ago I can understand. Five years is plenty of time for wear and tear. I wasn't around five years ago, so I too appreciate looking at the old builds. Previously I was never interested in the semi's so I also like to see where are the hobby has been, and what has been done. Other websites that I've been on have sections where people could go back and view completed builds. I'm still a newbie and have not spent too much time time on this website so I'm not sure if an area like that exists.

[Claus]

Alan have you ever thought about stretching the Globeliner, even slightly?

[Trucker Al]

No, but I am going to buy a Grand Hauler soon.
