Once I was coming back from College I've seen the same thing. But the lorry had big wide crane with 4 escort vehicles. 2 police cars and 2 PILOT vehicles. I want to be lorry driver but also thought about the job with escorting heavy vehicles, do you know what type of job is escorting these types of heavy load?
Because I think it's awesome and I've never seen it for real. This is an extraordinary opportunity to film a convoy like that! I hope you understand my bad english :/ Thank you ;)
I keep on missing these wide loads near me. In the last 6 months there has been three or four that I can remember. I know there was a new tram being delivered on the back of a heavy duty truck to the tram depot around the corner from me and then two large transformers or generators going to just behind my house where there is a large sub station. And I missed them all...
You're so lucky to live in an area like you do for emergency vehicles, trucks, abnormal loads and aircarft! I have to always travel for these things :P
When you're moving this kind of kit around, nothing stands in the way. Everything else goes on hold until it gets to where it's going. Scrupulous planning beforehand is the order of the day. Then barring punctures or breakdowns, it should be just another day at work!!!
+CobraEmergencyVideos Everything :D I was always wondering does UK police do this kind of escort same as Serbian police and thanks to you i got answer on mu question :)
Usually police don’t get involved on this but I guess its used by government smth important, or a big tax pay from that company to transport that thing
The company pays the local authorities to transport such an abnormal load along the road, holding up traffic and causing lots of delays. Especially as it had to go down some akwward tight country roads!
That has to be the most boring and then most terrifying job on the roads. One wrong move and that's tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage, millions if you get it badly wrong.
It is a large power grid transformer at 235 tonnes, not the biggest, but big enough to be hauled around. You can see the 3 phase terminal connection points on top of it. Never a Generator, it's too small!!!
If you would like to see more videos like these please do say. I personally love these.
I would! Anybody with me? :o
Why not?
Yes, me too :D
Alright then I'll try my best to get to as many as I can! All though it's not always easy to know when they are!
try doin youre own videos instead of stealing them of other youtubers
Wow, that’s not something you see every day! Great catch mate!
Thanks! Wanna catch more like this
This was epic!
A generator? That big?
Crazy insane, fantastic coverage catch Mr. Cobra!
Thanks!
Yes it was for a sub-station! :) I suppose you'd like to see this sort of thing again eh?
I acquiesce! =)
Good!
It's taken me 4 years but here's another, lol! ua-cam.com/video/iV37s0yhao8/v-deo.html
That's a transformer, not a generator!
Generator ? ? ? .... think you mean Transformer. Big difference between the two.
Was I the only one who was worried the bridge was going to collapse
great catch!!well you never see a 230 two tone generator on the motorway every day!! lol
Aha thanks! Not often no! ;)
Caravan central at the start

Nice one! I love oversized loads.
My wife likes them too😂
@@Byley-e7h haha 😂
They build these Transformers down the road from me in Stafford, always get stuck behind them
Yes I hear about a few from Stafford! You can see in this video how much it backed everyone up.
Camera man obsessed with the police cars, not the unusual load... strange
Awesome catch! Very rare to see wide load like that!
It sure is!

It was very heavy! They're smart.

+CobraEmergencyVideos just a shame I miss everything :P
If it were me, it'd be paradise! One day in London is usually the best day in a month for all of my spotting lol.
that Generator can power such amazing things!
....like a Microwave or a Toaster!
From my experience the toaster will be 'toasted' sooner or later.
Could have done this during the night when it's quieter roads !!
Wow well done capturing that!
Thanks!

amazing piece of machinery

I think they are MAN tgx v8 ballast tractors.
Possibly, thanks!
2:00 Red? Thougth england only uses blue
red is used but only on the rear, red lights cannot be displayed on the front of any vehicle for obvious reasons
AJ Deere T680 they’re there to tell other vehicle not to overtake when they’re in motion as well as their many other uses
Shame I couldn't make it. Not even far from me
:/
looks more like a transformer.
Autobot or Decepticon?
+Andrew De Jesus??
Abdullah Seba It's a joke about the Transformers films.
Hah

What would a generator be used on of that size these days lol
philip hutchinson a mining machine some are up to 100m tall
Haha caravan stuck behind a slow moving lorry .....karma for the Times motorists have been stuck behind these caravans.
Those caravans and trailers shouldn’t be in lane 3
Ridiculous - Transporting a wide load when the road is coned for roadworks. But for the cones, other vehicles could have been allowed to overtake.
Thats a transformer!
Optimus prime or bumble bee?🤣
Bom
:p
