I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what the rolling load actually is. Comments please.

Re: car transport
I really doubt that unloading the car that way is really going to hurt anything, the winch line is only there to prevent the car from getting away going down the ramp because there is no one behind the wheel to use the brakes. If the weight of the car on that ramp bends the axle there are bigger problems. Now if you are trying to pull it out of a ditch stuck in the mud there are better places to hook up the tow line.

Google " Model T Transport "
Google " Model T Transport "
See what comes up first based on internet searches. Not based on paid advertising. I have personally transported over 450 Model T vehicles and 250 Model A vehicles. You don't bend an axle on a Model A or a Model T by winching a free rolling vehicle in or out out of a trailer. That - is a fact: @ https://youtu.be/nSpJO_wQ3Lo?feature=shared Jim |

Re: car transport
Jim at trulyvintage knows what he's doing. I've used his services and was very impressed by his professionalism. I would be very surprised if he ever put a scratch on any of the hundreds of vintage cars and trucks he's transported. (and no, I'm not related to him)

Winch On - Winch Off
All vehicles I transport are never driven
by me me in or out of the trailer. They are winched. That way - there is no question of mechanical damage while in transport. There is no possibility of a slipping clutch - bad brakes - tranny issues that would cause the vehicle to drive thru the trailer. (This happens often at auctions and car show). There is no banging the driver door on the inside of the trailer. I can watch clearances of all sides and underneath. I take a walk around video for the customer at pick up. If I observe alignment - steering or other issues they are noted. Jim |

Re: car transport
Use a major transporter-Intercity, Reliable or Passport. They might cost a little bit more money, but they are completely insured and the most reliable shipping companies. If you care about your car, you should care about your transporter. Don't be cheap when it comes to shipping.
(PS-A lot of the independents are not insured when it comes to the cars that they ship. They tell them they are insured, but this does not mean that they are insured for the vehicle they haul. Your insurance does not cover you if you are using a "Paid for Hire" transporter. I ship a lot of cars, I know. Ask me to explain this to you!!!) |
