[QUOTE="saltbranch, post: 1368555, member: 13181"] I am an old oilfield trucker and if they cant hit a 22' opening that I currently have for them and they have used for many rigs then there is a problem. So that problem solved. There is a lot of good advice and ideas here and please continue to share. I made my opening 22' wide to eliminate the wings and the silly side gate that ranchers put, but I never had CG that could handle 80,000 lbs of weight can be bought for 800.00 or so? I have CG built of RR tracks that is 65 plus years old on our place and set on concrete blocks. I have some set on concrete bunks like Brute23 suggests, the 2200.00 one I referenced in an earlier post was no where near the 80,000 lb capacity, so I really would like to know Brute23 where the 800.00 one can be bought,we seem to be in the same area. I have some set on old parking lot concrete tire stops. I really like the callmefence suggestion on poured concrete foundation, that is not common to this area that I know of. My biggest damn problem now is I have a 24' CG for a 22' opening. So do I pull the 20" post set at 5' deep redo the opening? Or set the 24'wide CG behind the 22' wide post? This is not an entrance to a high dollar setup. We keep it cheap to deter thieves. On this CG, I will build a swing gate into it and I will not have wings. [/QUOTE]
