went and did it

Long story short I am building a hangar and home on that runway. I can 'live with' my tractors and airplanes as has been my dream for a long time.

It seems the only folks that build hydraulic hangar doors are in WS and MN. Freight to get that 42' door down to Bracketville is about a third of the total door cost. I need to go that way anyhow and I have enough truck to pull that 2800 pound monster on a trailer but how do you deal with the 42 foot length on a trailer?

I hoped someone out there has BTDT and could help me out.

Thanks!!

So you can borrow; buy; or rent a 40' hot shot trailer that goes behind a 1 ton truck provided you have a correct hitch for the trailer. Most times trailers of this length will have a 5th wheel but you can find them in goose neck.
A 40' trailer will do the job because you are allowed 4' of over hang with out a permit.

Now after you spend days searching for the correct trailer for the job and start to crunch the numbers I think you will find it is going to be cheaper to have it hauled.
This weight and size is a perfect load for a hot shot company. No need for a big truck unless you can find someone looking for a backhaul and willing to do it at a reduced rate.

Another option might be to get a quote from a LTL carrier.

The door that I want is one solid door, operated with hydraulics (two long rams) and is not a bifold. Much simpler and safer.
