...good luck on that , it would be fantastic .
As a side bar my for 3/4 4x4 wieghed 8,800 pounds my 1 ton pickup style wieghs 11,000lbs , hope this puts the little carrier weight in prospective. Also, the carrier is much narrower than the one ton and therefore less likely to crowd other traffic lanes.
Also based on my heavy equipment experience the carrier is fitted with what we would call street tracks. Very close shallow lugs that are flat with no ice cleats or rough terrain cleats. The 105,000lb tracked excavator I drove had street tracks on it and would not hurt pavement at all. Now really hot macdam will mark up with heavy trucks too. I am sure an explanation or description of street tracks could be found with a Cat dealer and there may even be a legal description of them in the highway traffic act.
