I wouldn't consider two at once because of the loading. They would have to
push one pallet in with the other to get them both on the truck. That would
gouge the bedliner. But I just checked the Dodge site, and payload is
3410#.


It probably would not gouge the bedliner. Or you can always throw a
piece of plywood.

I am going to pick up another 4,500 lbs power supply tomorrow, it is
destined to go to scrap after I remove fun parts such as the huge
circuit breaker, water cooled thyristors and Size 6 contactor.

Moments like this, make one appreciative of trailers.
