I think they’ve done this before. Heavy haul is just one of those jobs. You need the patience of a saint and the knowledge of an engineer. Have my respect.
Bowers Heavy Haulage 😍. I work on the roads and have seen them come through our job sites. Always (for me) a sight to behold, their trucks/trailers always immaculate . They definitely have their shit together. Would love to work for them but I don’t think I would have the discipline or attention span required for that level of detail.👌 Oops just watched again a few times and not Bowers,doh 😒. My apologies. Still massive respect 🫡
@@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711 Bahaha I know both those locations very well. Wilsons Transformer on Springvale Road. My parents just happen to live near this Westfield location, my Aunt lives on a street off Springvale road.
If they travel on level road, then they probably could have done with fewer trucks. Add in a decent incline, up or down, and you could have serious problems without the proper equipment pulling/pushing. As for making it on site, that would not be feasible. It takes a lot of special equipment that would take a lot more time, skill and money than it would to move the finished product. Something this large, and probably more complex than it appears, would take a lot of very expensive equipment. And, if it came from far away, they would have to transport their skilled labor as well.

Smooth. Nice .
Doncaster Shoppingtown is on Williamsons Rd.
I hope the lead trucks GPS doesn't send them down a boat launch!
Yes saw this, there was a ninety degree right turn onto a minor road a few minutes later. It was mayhem.
When 12 mph is top speed.
I knew AUS loved their road trains, but never considered the possibility of a road Schnabel
A super load? Huh. I had one of those before. I didn’t need a these trucks though.
When it absolutely, positively needs to get delivered: truckers!
Neat!!
We are talking some serious coordination here.
Yes, especially on the hills when they all need to drop back through the gears.
Super epic
Five prime movers; must be some serious weight. From Wilson?
VicRoads listed it as a 427 tonne load over 100m long, from Wilson Transformers Glen Waverley to a NSW power plant. 🙂
Yeh it's Pretty Big... I spose! lol
neat
whats this for. crane etc ?
Electrical transformer I think mate
Transformer in a transport beamset.
Transformer going from Wilson Transformers Glen Waverley to a power station in NSW.😊
A copper thief’s wet dream!
@@sylvaner01
Yeah, grid transformer. Weighing maybe 500 to 600 tonnes.
Windmill Parts?
A 400 tonne transformer starting a 1000km trip across two states.
Why are they using so many trucks? I've seen other videos of the same load type with as few as two trucks. Is the area very hilly?
Yes, the trip is some 1000km across two states with many long hills. The load is 470 tonnes.
Door dash for Jeff Bezos
Paid 😁
What is it?
A transformer heading from Glen Waverley to a NSW power plant.

What an absolute Waste of diesel. A vx commodore with an ecotec could pull all that. Just needs a flashing orange light on roof
Holy smokes what a circus 🎪 just to move a chunk of metal. probably better to build that on site.

seems like overkill
There were some good hills to climb during the 1000km trip to the Hunter Valley in NSW.
