I drag a spread axle stepdeck or flatbed through cemetaries. Gets a little tight sometimes, or most of the time. Tight spots don’t have to have walls!!
A stepdeck , also referred to as "dropdeck", is a type of flatbed trailer that has one built in step to the deck to provide the capabilities of loading higher dimensional freight on the lower deck.
Sometimes there are walls, though. And poles! And curbs!
This was the tighest spot I've been to yet that wasn't backing off a street into an alley. Took me more than 20 minutes and 15+ GOALs.
