LD3 container dimensions in inches and cm: 61.5 x 60.4 in base, 64 in tall, 79 in roof, 1,588 kg max gross. Why the angled base strands case volume, a real fly-away audio kit packed into one LD3, and how the PMC pallet compares.
Box truss eats trailer floor fast. Using Tomcat 12x12 and 20.5x20.5 specs, a 53-foot trailer and a real truss dolly, here's the math on why 400 feet of big truss can cost you a third truck.
Bleachers are touring 30 Robe SvoPatts on three trusses. I turned the rig into case rows, floor feet and pounds for a 53-foot trailer, with the spec numbers cited and the guesses flagged.
