I was wondering wha others have been able to haul with their Sweptline... I just hauled 2 pallets of clinker brick... a little over 1,000 bricks. The clinkers weigh about 7 lbs each. A 7,000 pound load in the bed. Fortunately I didn't have to go very far, about 15 miles. One guy with a Tundra

I was wondering wha others have been able to haul with their Sweptline... I just hauled 2 pallets of clinker brick... a little over 1,000 bricks. The clinkers weigh about 7 lbs each. A 7,000 pound load in the bed. Fortunately I didn't have to go very far, about 15 miles. One guy with a Tundra wasn't able to haul even 1 pallet. He bottomed out when the forklift lowered the pallet onto his bed. Then something made a very unplesant noise and they quickly removed the pallet. Another guy had an F250 and took a pallet and his bed came down quite a bit but he was able to do it. I took 2 pallets, lowered quite a bit also but the truck did it. Check out the pics... Truck drove fine...
