This is what I had to do to get enough room for the carrier and a M5 half-track. The carrier had no problems climbing the higher part of the trailer under it's own power.

I've had problems loading a carrier on a small plant trailer with steel ramps, and it slips and slides like it's on ice.
I also tried to load a centaur on a low loader with another tank pushing and it was an abortion from the start, luckily a fella from a nearby farm turned up with a 13 ton excavator and pushed it on in 10 minutes under control and safely.

you live and learn

Asbjorn, not sure I would be happy about my carrier being loaded like that, there being a large load isolated over a few pins, for a fair duration.... Should have at least put something under the track to spread the load (in my humble opinion of course)
