I got this in an e-mail that's going around. Maybe some of you have seen these too. I think I was more impressed in seeing a built-in double garage than the bridge collapsing! I wonder how long this home is -- 100 feet? And surely more than 2 axles were used to move this home!!!

You can't fail if you don't try!
That looks like a nice spot on the water there. If it were my home Id just leave it there and move in.

If ya look close in those pictures you can see the other set of tandem axles laying on the collapsed pieces of the bridge in the water. Seems they lack in the common sense department huh?

In Arkansas the Fire Departments are required to have a Bridge Plan. All the bridges in their district, they have to know the weight rating of them.
This is so they don't drive the fire truck tanker, with 2,000 gallons of water (16,000 pounds) across the rickedy bridge.
Maybe MH movers should get a list from the State Highway department that has all the bridges on them.
When I moved Mobile Homes, we never broke a bridge.
We did cut a corner short and straddle a ditch for a few hours.

Demo, You forgot part of the equation. 16,000 lbs is the weight of the water, you forgot about the truck to put it in. add another 20,000 to it. that puts you at around 36,000. Greg
