Hi folks,

I've just gotten one of these units, and seeing that it's not recommended to

tow them with a 2.5 ton truck, I was thinking of putting on an auxiliary air

supply. Basically a compressor that would run continuously (gas powered - or

possibly a genset and an electric compressor) and be tied into the dolly and

truck air supply. It would have to be somewhat sized for the amount of

braking that the dolly would need, but that's a minor problem. More than

likely I'd permanently mount it on the dolly.

Eventually I'd like to start getting some ISO containers as storage and

workshop space, plus it'd be nice to make a flat platform to load stuff on

too. Even though you can't back these dollies up, they're still a great item

if you need them. Too damned handy looking.

Has anyone done this, or seen a setup like this? Anyone have the bolts, or

the manuevering casters used to anchor the front and rear units together

when they're not attached to a container? Anyone know what the cfm@ x psi is

for some of the 5 ton trucks? Comments? Heckling? Finger pointing?

Regards,

Greg
