## Fan Palm Trunks fit Hi-Side End Dump Trailer?

[BBBTree]

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this kind of project hauling several fan palm trunks to the dump especially the Hawaii tree services.

I have 26 fan palms without fronds on them all averaging 30' in height. About how many 30' long trunks will fit in one 32' long high side end dump trailer?

Depends on how much weight your trailer can handle.

I'd assume about 8-10 trunks averaging 2'x2'. I think the trailers will do 60,000 lb. I'll check tomorrow.

The trucking company said these trailers have roughly 40k lb net payload. I figure each 30' trunk that goes in the trailer weighs roughly 4000lb. At 10 trunks per trailer that amounts to exactly 40,000lb.

Does anyone think any different about the weight of these fan palm trunks?

That is going to be an expensive dump fee.
