pdmattox:
How many 10 frame hives (1 deep) on 4 way pallets will fit on a semi's flatbed.

Jerrymac:
Is this a test question?

What size semi flat bed are we talking about?
Can we double stack, triple stack, the pallets?
You can load the trailer up to a gross wieght of 80,000 pounds you know.

pdmattox:
>Not a test question, just want some info.  Not sure of trailer size (53')?  Yes I want to max the load and get as many on as I can.

Jerrymac:
Most pallets are 40" x 48".
I guess you could sit four hives per layer on a pallet. Stack them up as high as you'd want to go.

If the trailer is 53' long it should hold thirty pallets. 120 hives per layer.
If the trailer is 48' long it should hold 28 pallets. 112 hives per layer.

Does this help?

pdmattox:
Thanks Jerrymac, This gives me a good number to work with.     :mrgreen:
