Tongue of the trailer stops where a towzone begins too… think about it 💪
What happens here
Before attempting this parking strategy, evaluate the specific parking constraints of the urban area. This 'hack' is particularly useful in cities like Chicago where space is extremely limited. Acquire a suitable semi-truck (tractor) and a low-profile, heavy-duty flatbed trailer (often called a lowboy or a removable gooseneck trailer) that is long enough and rated to carry the combined weight and dimensions of all the necessary construction equipment and support vehicles. Ensure the trailer is equipped with appropriate loading ramps or has a design that facilitates loading of different vehicle types.
Goal: Prepare for efficient multi-vehicle parking in a limited space.
Tools and materials
- Low-profile flatbed trailer — To carry multiple pieces of equipment and vehicles
- Semi-truck — To pull the trailer and potentially be loaded onto it
- Urban parking area information N/A — To understand the parking constraints and requirements
