About the only advantage of using clip on bolsters is that it allows one to select where the weight of the load sits relative to the axles - all the weight of that log is actually transferred to the truck body forward of the rear spring hangers. (And dropping a few more logs on the front of him helps keep it that way.) Truck would have been probably about 2t over on the front axle under that particular load, but well under gross legal... with log timber its not what you load but how you load it that matters.
It's all for sale bloke - PM me what you're after and I'll see if we can help.

Yesterday while delivering to one of my local regulars I watched him turning table legs out of 150x150's, and I knew it when it was a tree.
One of these trees even, which is why its posted here!!!
KD, and when we cut the beam to length it was showing 9℅ shell and 10.5℅ at the core, which is about as good a gradient as you'll get in timbers that size - certainly stable enough for working.
Can't wait to see the finished article. I get a kick out of the whole "knew it when it was a tree" thing, which is why I always ask people to send back pictures of finished articles.
