• Two (2) 12 Ft Insert Sections with leg rail .................................................................................................................... 4376 lbs (1985 Kg)
• Two (2) 12 Ft Insert Sections & Two (2) 6 Ft Insert Sections with leg rail ..................................................................... 5240 lbs (2377 Kg)
• Three (3) 12 Ft Insert Sections with leg rail .................................................................................................................. 5305 lbs (2406 Kg)
• Two (2) 15 Ft Insert Sections with leg rail .................................................................................................................... 4640 lbs (2105 Kg)

• Two (2) 18 Ft Insert Sections with leg rail .................................................................................................................... 4950 lbs (2245 Kg)
The standard weight of your machine is ________lbs, assembled from ______ sections at the factory. Write the basic weight of your
machine into the
total weight
column on Page 9. Divide the total weight by 8 (the number of machine wheels) to get the weight per wheel
on the idle end and the driver end of the machine.
Example: 4376 lbs TOTAL WEIGHT / 8 = 547 lbs. Write the weight per wheel of your machine in the idle end and power unit end columns
on Page 9.

• 3 Ft Section .............................................................................................................................................
With Leg Rail = 292 lbs (132 Kg)
• 3 Ft Section ........................................................................................................................................
Without Leg Rail = 278 lbs (126 Kg)
• 4 Ft Section .............................................................................................................................................
With Leg Rail = 363 lbs (164 Kg)
• 4 Ft Section ........................................................................................................................................
Without Leg Rail = 325 lbs (147 Kg)
• 6 Ft Section .............................................................................................................................................
With Leg Rail = 432 lbs (196 Kg)
• 6 Ft Section ........................................................................................................................................
Without Leg Rail = 384 lbs (174 Kg)
• 12 Ft Section ...........................................................................................................................................
With Leg Rail = 736 lbs (334 Kg)
• 12 Ft Section ......................................................................................................................................
Without Leg Rail = 620 lbs (281 Kg)
• 15 Ft Section ...........................................................................................................................................

• 18 Ft Section .........................................................................................................................................
With Leg Rail = 1023 lbs (464 Kg)
• 18 Ft Section ......................................................................................................................................
Without Leg Rail = 889 lbs (403 Kg)
Determine the number of each length and type of insert section that are going to be added to the basic machine. Add the weights of those
sections to get the total weight of extra sections. Example: (2) 3 Ft Insert with rail 292 lbs + (1) 6 Ft Insert with rail 432 lbs = 1016 lbs.
Write this weight in the total weight column. Divide the total weight of the extra inserts by the number of wheels (8) to determine weight
per wheel on the idle end and the driver end of the machine.
Example 1016 lbs / 8 = 127 lbs PER WHEEL. Weight of machine accessories (These weights take into consideration any standard machine
parts that the accessory replaced). Unfortunately, not all accessory weights are currently available. If your accessory is not included in the
list below, contact the Allen Engineering Corporation Service Department.
• 4 Inch Swing Legs (2 Ends - Set of 4) .............................................................................................................................. 480 lbs (218 Kg)
• Power Crown Adjuster less 65 lbs Manual Crown ............................................................................................................. 410 lbs (186 Kg)
• Towing Tongue ..................................................................................................................................................................... 97 lbs (44 Kg)
• Power Widening (1 End) ..................................................................................................................................................... 100 lbs (45 Kg)
* Six Wheel Bogie System
.................................................................................................................................................... 840 lbs (381 Kg)
Determine the number of accessories being added to the standard machine. Add the additional weights of those accessories. Example:
Swing Legs = 480 lbs. Write this weight in the total weight column. Divide the total weight of the extra inserts by the number of wheels (8)
to determine weight per wheel on the idle end and the driver end of the machine. Example 480 lbs / 8 = 60 lbs PER WHEEL
