Can you haul a gantry crane on a gooseneck trailer?

On my way to find out. I gotta stop at an Amishmans place to get him to sign the check he dropped off yesterday. He bought a bunch of almost new poultry transport crates from me, and forgot to sign the check..
 
Yes, no, maybe.

More information is required. Only reason(s) you "can't" would be if the weight of the crane popped the tires or bent the trailer frame, or made the whole load too tall to fit under a bridge, overpass, viaduct, culvert, etc. that you don't have an alternate route around.

Weight, width, height, load securement laws only apply if you get caught.

How far are you hauling it? Personally I would be more apt to just load and go if the haul is relatively short. The farther you go the more likely it is you might encounter hassle from the law.
 

You can if you take it apart.

Barnyard, that is a somewhat misleading statement. You don't have to get "caught" when the DOT pulls up to the wreck. You are just standing there (if you are lucky) waiting for him to start writing up the laundry list for the attorneys. The no drama way is to just call the DOT and ask for a permit. Too easy?
 


what ever its called it will be too wide.. So unless your going just down the road, I think you need to disassemble it.
