Sure. It's done all the time. Just strap it down good.
Legally, in the US, it's typically between 43,000 and 48,000 lbs of payload. The max legal interstate weight is 80,000 lbs. for the truck, trailer, and payload. How much the actual payload comes out to depends on the empty weight of the vehicle and trailer, and that'll be affected by a number of factors, such as the frame length of the truck, what the trailer is made of (steel or aluminum), etc.
No.
26000 lbs of cargo? A tandem straight truck, such as a flatbed or a dump, could haul that amount of weight legally.
Well, that all depends on the trailer. With a Freightliner and an aluminum 48' flatbed trailer, I've always been able to haul in the vicinity of 48,000 lbs. on the trailer.
The most considerable restriction to pay attention to on pulling your U-haul trailer, is that you have a vehicle that is large enough and powerful enough to haul a trailer. Make sure the axle and transmission can pull the added weight.
check your vehicle GVW usually listed on the door sticker. Then subtract the weight of your truck with an empty flat bed. the remainder will be what you can haul.
You might want to get a trailer from U-haul so you can tow the vehicle there.
That depends on the length of the power unit and the weight of the trailer. With a Kenworth W900L with a 265" wheelbase and a 53' stepdeck trailer, I had an overall length of 77 feet. With a Volvo VNL730 and a 48' flatbed or stepdeck trailer, I was right at about 67 or 68 feet. Heavy haul combinations can be significantly longer, but 65 to 78 feet would be about the norm for an over-the-road regional or line haul tractor pulling a single trailer.
A flatbed trailer is one of the most versatile trailers used in the freight industry. Its main purpose is to haul oversized freight, equipment, machinery, or any other type of cargo that will not fit inside a dry van enclosed trailer. The cargo can be placed on the long flat bed of the trailer and strapped and secured down for transport. The most desirable part of this trailer is the ability to load the cargo from the sides or back using a forklift, or even a crane depending on the type of cargo being loaded.
