Putting the New Autocars to Work

Putting the New Autocars to Work

1. Just completed is this new Super Clam Steamer to answer the demand for Maine Steamers at the seafood festivals this summer. It fits nicely on the 50 ton trailer with 15" tires. Its being pulled by an Autocar DC9764 heavy tractor with step tanks, toolbox, and sanders. 178" wheelbase.

2. A short cab DCU Autocar pulling an oil field flat (Sheepscot #95051) with an American Hoist four drum hoist. This tractor has a 154" wheelbase and saddle tanks. The load is a preliminary model of a series that will be produced later this year.

3. Here's a new tandem axle milk tank trailer (95073)that will be available later this year being pulled by an Autocar DCU tractor, 144" wheelbase

4. The same tractor pulling the Sheepscot #95059 35 foot trailer

5. Autocar DC10364 with pit fenders pulling an old Sheepscot plaster dump trailer with a coal load.

6. Portland Building Supply making a delivery with their new DC9746 Autocar diesel and pup trailer. Not a real heavy load, the steel beams weigh about 6500 pounds and the four concrete culvert pipes are about 4000 apiece. The crane is used to unload pallets of block. 21 foot body on a 212" wheelbase

7. Here's the same heavy Autocar lowbed tractor as in photo number 1 hauling a Link-Belt log loader into the woods. This is a 45 ton load on a scratch built 75 ton trailer.

8. On the way back out of the Eastern Maine woods they picked up a broken down M-26 Pershing tank that the National Guard was training with. This 47 ton load is a resin kit by Heiser's Models, Inc. #352.

9. Lumber products heading South to the New York market on another Sheepscot #95051 flat trailer. This load of 4x10 dried oak weighs just about 50,000 lbs so we're right at the legal limit.

10. Canned seafood products are heavy and for this run they're trying out a new DCU tandem. That's a 32 foot Sheepscot 95011 trailer but it meets the 45 foot overall length law with the shortened Autocar cab.
