�ff VALLEY MATERIAL TRANSPORTATION, INC. <br /> Lightweight Flatbeds - Forklift Service <br /> ATTACHMENT TO SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY -SITE APPLICATION <br /> Valley Material Transportation, Inc. operates a <br /> specialized service to the construction market and hauls <br /> and deliveries long, laminated construction beams. This <br /> market requires beams that are fabricated and delivered in <br /> lengths up to 80 feet long. <br /> So that we can legally transport these beams from <br /> Washington, Oregon and California to their destination we <br /> have purchased special load distribution type trailers <br /> that we allow these beams to be transported. As you will <br /> note, these are trailers that are 481 long that will allow <br /> a front (trailer to cab) overhang of 15 ' and a rear <br /> overhang up to 251 . Presently we have 20 trailers. <br /> The negative with this type of trailer axle configuration <br /> is that when the truck-trailer makes a tight turn it will <br /> destroy asphalt paving, when it pivots. In both, our old <br /> Lodi yard and the yard that we presently operate out of on <br /> Cardinal St. we have virtually destroyed the pavement <br /> surface. As you will note on the enclosed site plan, we <br /> have surfaced the shop apron with concrete (on the exit <br /> side) so that the tires will slide over the surface. In <br /> the parking-storage area we plan on using aggregate base <br /> so that the tires will slip, or slide on the base <br /> material. <br /> w <br />
