To the author, do you think that the files installed from a subscriber would be corrupt since it was posted to the workshop prior to your hard driver issue? If not, I could send you the files but I'm pretty sure you could get the uncorrupted ones from the workshop. Just trying to help and spitting out ideas here...

@pete379jp Thanks a lot for the mod really was the most favorable part of the game. Hoping you get things back up to par with your system bud. We all will be awaiting more cool mod updates for lowboy haulers.

A critical bad news. Please read upper part of the description.
tsundere Jul 17, 2018 @ 6:20pm 
We need this but with beacons on the back.
ravensview Jul 5, 2018 @ 12:18pm 
Loaded this again with 1.31. Looks good. I like that rear sign and the generous chaining. Overhangs a bit - how wide is the trailer it's sitting on?
pete379jp  [author] Jul 1, 2018 @ 12:04am 
As you can see, I changed a trailer model. I hope you like it...
pete379jp  [author] May 23, 2018 @ 4:02am 
It's done. Now you can use trailer cables. Enjoy!
pete379jp  [author] May 16, 2018 @ 6:16am 
Current this mod is not compatible with the game version 1.31. Please disable this mod on the mod manager and wait until I update it.

@ravensview It's a strange. Probably, load order issue? (mods priority)
ravensview Mar 10, 2018 @ 1:22pm 
Excavators look the same. Loaded this above other trailer mods, and did a couple of sleeps. Took one as a load - no overhang, no flags.
pete379jp  [author] Dec 19, 2017 @ 3:36am 
I tried to avoid trying to modify the trailer, but I decided that it would be impossible to add the animation flags only with the cargo model. I have no choice, I created a trailer dedicated to this cargo with the red flags installed.
pete379jp  [author] Oct 22, 2017 @ 2:53am 
@SamialLambGang Yes. This is a 3d model replacer mod. All Excavator (as a cargo) will be replaced. Prop model in the map is excluded.
SamialLambGang Oct 15, 2017 @ 12:45pm 
Does this mod replace the Actual Excavator in ATS?
ModderMatt30 Oct 11, 2017 @ 9:14am 
Are you planning on making other stand-alone WIDE load trailer mods like this? Really would love to see more from you main reason is because none of the most recent trailer mod packs seem to work in my game every one so far just makes my game crash or the job listings completly disappear or simply nothing happens at all

Hi pete379jp. If you could get the physics to work on the red flags would be great.

Grerat Mod Thank You

pete379jp  [author] Jul 19, 2017 @ 6:27am 
I'm trying to import dlc flags to the mod, but I have not succeeded yet.
Räzz Jun 30, 2017 @ 1:40pm 
I realised all the mod trailers with flags doesn't move, probably some game mechanic which is difficult to transfer perhaps. Besides that, good job to the author! Subscribed again ;)
(eViLoZzy: Well, you do use the mirrors or look out the window sometimes.... ;9 )
eViLoZzy Jun 27, 2017 @ 10:09pm 
If you stay in first person view where you should be, this wouldn't matter mate :P
Räzz Jun 27, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
Are the flags supposed to be not moving? Sorry, unsubscribing 'cause of this.....
Fred Jun 27, 2017 @ 9:13am 
its good for oversize load and for money
:steamsalty:
eViLoZzy Jun 26, 2017 @ 11:55pm 
Stelth, It turns up in your missions, not often though. It is not available in quick or external missions. Also you may have another mod pack above it in your list, cancelling out this mod.
Jay Y. Jun 26, 2017 @ 12:47pm 
hey petei was wonderin where i can find this trailer in game i activated the mod and cant find it plz help
eViLoZzy Apr 14, 2017 @ 11:37pm 
I like this trailer and use it often, And if there are no new cargo or improvements to the mod I'm ok with it as it is. But GoggleEye, if you can make one with your ideas I would want it in my work load, cheers.
LarryA Apr 14, 2017 @ 3:50am 
Thank you very much really enjoy transporting the excavator. Looks great and a lot of detail. Not having any issues with transporting the excavator with bumps in the road. Changed out the tires and wheels. Steer axle and drives axels. Running super singles on a 389 Pete Ultra wide single rims. Actually get the low boy on a Cat Scale. Raise the frame on the tractor aproximatley 4 inches.

Would you please consider a D-10 Cat or crane parts.

Thank You
LarryA

Love the mod the only downfall is that when you hit a decent bump it'll throw your trailer and sometimes make you crash!
DolphinofBlood Mar 19, 2017 @ 11:51am 
Your English not suck.
supersobes Feb 11, 2017 @ 9:45am 
I love it!

Is the weight right for this? Im looking for some heavy mods :c
tunkhead Dec 3, 2016 @ 2:37pm 
@tylerct9 Sep 18 @ 5:07pm
could u make a 379 Someone has made one just u got to look
eViLoZzy Nov 29, 2016 @ 11:43pm 
Tried it and it's now part of my game play, a very nice trailer and digger upgrade that doesn't interfere with other diggers and low loaders. One thing though for a future update, can you add brake drums to the rear wheels? They can be seen clearly from behind and there's nothing but a bare axle there.
eViLoZzy Nov 29, 2016 @ 3:53pm 
I'm looking forward to this mod, cheers m8. And bigsnag, you can't speak for the world, wth? We have these setups all over my country and even bigger ones, they unhitch from the from, and some just drive straight up the side and swivel. There's one of these types of trailers in FS17, the front unhooks and stays on the 5th wheel.
Whiskey~ Nov 16, 2016 @ 4:57am 
Im tempted to get this, but might wait a bit. Also im losing my ass off at bigsnags comment, theres 3 ways to load that big beastie up there, detach the neck and drive up the little ramps, Using ramps on the back,which is less common but has been done, Or 3, drive up over the side of the trailer with ramps or wood blocks. Also, this kind of load in NOT illegal to haul in the USA, maybe in other countries perhaps, but not the USA as long as the driver has his proper certifications to hail such a large load, Also, making sure to pay attention and plotting a route away from bridges that have weight restrictions to 80,000lbs or 40 tons. Honestly you shouldnt try saying something is illegal when its not. The others who know what ive said to be true are also right. I looked into trucking when i was with my uncle in his rig for a few days. This kind of load would possibly need an escort or 2, one in front, one in rear, but ive seen ones like this without.
Hotstuff5743 Oct 7, 2016 @ 4:42pm 
trailers like this can be loaded one of two ways. they can be loaded via ramps up the back or u can detach the tongue on the trailer & drive the cargo up the front side of the trailer then reconnect the tongue to the trailer & poof it's loaded.
SuperMoose395 Oct 3, 2016 @ 6:13am 
this is realistic and bigsnag if you dont know how they loaded that excavator up there you have no idea what youre talking about
Philipsolotv Sep 18, 2016 @ 2:07pm 
could u make a 379
TRICKS454 Sep 17, 2016 @ 3:36pm 
Nice job
Hotstuff5743 Sep 10, 2016 @ 7:39pm 
Actually this trailer is about as realistic as u can get as i see stuff like this being moved all the time at construction sites in the city. as long as u've got the proper permits, u've got the oversized sign, beacon lights when needed, the flags to let ppl know u've got an oversized load & a pilot car if required ur good to go. Where i live as long as ur load fits between the white pavement markings on the road ur good as golden.
Nos Aug 14, 2016 @ 12:42pm 
actually bigsnag your incorrect... you on have to FLAG , beacon, or pilot up IF you are hanging over...hence the term oversize load... weights, number of axles, and heights also add to the mix. This is why you have to be well versed in what is required and when, while moving over-dimentional loads in the U.S. and don't get me started on the special California B.S. . 30 yr. U.S. driver on this end..
bigsnag Aug 12, 2016 @ 11:53pm 
That is illegal, one is not allowed to cart equipment hanging over the sides of the trailer. Floats for heavy machinery have adjustable width and can only travel in the hours of daylight. how is one supposed to load that, climb it up and over the side of that trailer?
Unrealistic!

This mod is giving me game.log warnings.

Chris Jul 23, 2016 @ 7:11pm

"umad" Jul 21, 2016 @ 5:53pm 
Really like this, thank you for making it.
Skyedarque (LOD) Jun 26, 2016 @ 5:00am 
Can you make this as a stand alone Trailer. i like to keep the stock ones in game but love to have the bigger one to.
