Exactly. I worked at a refinery and they were getting ready for an expansion and they were bringing in the new reactor that weighed 375 tons and was 160 feet long. They had to design a special rail car setup to be able to haul it. Then, when they stood it up, a company called Nichols Construction brought in a Demag 750 or 800 ton crane. I can't rememberwhich. That very crane was the crane used to sit the space shuttle on the back of the 747. Impressive is an understatement. It took 22, 18 wheelers to haul the counterweights, boom, cables and whatever else for this crane and the 400 ton crane that came with it to rig the big crane. We had just had a new concrete foundation 3 feet thick poured and everywhere there was an outrigger sitting on the concrete there was a 6' spiderweb in the concrete. The weight of the crane plus the weight of the reactor when the crane lifted it, that's some pounds right there.
Worked in a generator repairshop in england and they had to make this move and i couldn't believe the skill to maneuver that load in all those small towns and billion round abouts . Salute
Fantastic. Never seen anything like that before. Amazing the load was distributed so evenly that the pavement was not damaged. These professionals obviously take great pride in their equipment. Every part of that long expensive rigg was the same color.
Wow! And to think, I've always felt that pulling a 30 foot long Travel Trailer with my pickup truck was a stressful task! HA! That is an awesome setup of machinery and execution. Thanks for posting!
Back in 1968 I worked for the Railroad in Pekin, IL. One time a local power plant shipped a stator from their facility back to the factory who manufactured it. The manufacturing company sent their own special rail car to haul the heavy load. They even sent a representative from the company to accompany the load from point Pekin to the factory. That special rail car was quite a piece of equipment as I recall.

Unfortunately, this is usually when someone at the upper management or corporate level steps in and snakes the sale away from the salesperson, because they don't want to pay out all that commission. They'll make it a commercial account. In fact, they might even hand it off to a commercial account person and let them take the commission.
I’ve been stuck behind one of these SuperLoad for about 2 hrs in the middle of the night, just outside of Blair NE on hwy91. Let me tell you it was the most fascinating 2 hrs of my life watching massive crew coordinate the movement of such massive nuclear steam generator.
Absolutely incredible! Watching the Peterbilt 567 haul such a massive load highlights the sheer power of this truck. The driver's skills and the coordination of the transport team are truly top-notch
I'm a millwright and we did a stator change in North Carolina about 10yrs ago and that one came in on a special rail car which was the stator with end attachments for the train. Oh and so you know it weighed 1.2 million pounds. It was awesome
@@Ranveer_Singh_sangha03 admittedly they are the size of a rigid truck here, as opposed to a tractor trailer outfit, but there's been a few over the years - they just haven't sold in any great numbers
This is so amazing, I feel a little in awe shock after watching it a few times. The engineering of the individual sections and the overall system is impressive. Another video of it detailing all the components, what they do, how they do it, and their idiosyncrasies would be very much appreciated. For example, the two men hooked something up somewhere around the middle of the video. What was it and why wasn't it hooked up before? Or was it a repair? I imagine others would appreciate such a video, too. Thank you.
I am planning to make such a video. the drivers were locking the bar in place that keeps the trailer aligned on the highway, this bar is left unlocked so that they can make the turns. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
I am invited to visit couple of trucking companies just for that reason to see what's happening in the office and what it takes to schedule this loads.
It takes a very expensive permit, very specific roads and route, coordination with the police and fire to stop traffic when entering roads and going through intersections, and police escorts. And has to happen on a certain day and time. @RobertDrawbridge
When you've got three police escorts you've got some big time planning involved. Also, the segment on the expressway was undoubtedly after midnight. That's when these way oversize loads are allowed on.
Once you've established the general routing, you begin filing for the Oversize/Overweight Super-Load permits with every jurisdiction (State, Municipality & Town/City....but you must start with the last one first, because that will determine from which direction you'll be entering your delivery location. Then you've got to be prepared that some jurisdictions will be real Pri*cks about what they will or won't allow. Grosso modo, it's a tedious process to get everything organized until the day you're able to load the trailer and get moving, hoping for good weather - because many of these permits have bad weather restrictions. And, don't expect to be running only on Interstates....quite to the contrary, you'll be running a lot of country roads, through tiny villages etc, because the US-Interstate infrastructure is in such a hopeless condition, that it cannot absorb the extra weight....but if it can, there will be a lot of "5 mph limit" across bridges and over-passes; center-lining two lanes across similar structures; ramp-off & ramp-on at other locations, plus many detours. Done a fair number of these - mind you smaller combos - most of which without Escorts (if heading into the mid-west. The US-Eastern seaboard will need most of the escorts.
That looks very much like the rigs that delivered the 4 Caterpillar Solar Turbine Generators with special exhaust stacks an requisite steel bracing. To the Newtown Creek Water Treatment Plant. Except "our" trucks tag trailers (2 in the front and 2 in the back) had those smaller wheels that go from one side of the tag to the other. (probably 80 wheels per tag) and each wheel could steer. The trucks (4) had to wait on one side of the George Washington Bridge, until they got special permission to cross the bridge. It was amazing to watch them back that huge rig up to our access door, in the back of the main building, where a crane off loaded them. I got to install the generators with a rigging crew onto 4 foot concrete pads, with a 90 ton capacity "riggers special" and bottle jacks. (generators were 400,000 lbs each)
I can just about see some old time scale man telling the driver to pull it onto the scale, or be arrested, lol I saw that happen with 9 axle prototype military tank. He pulled it on, under threat of arrest and impoundment of the load. The scale broke, the rig dropped and the scale man had just entered a world of trouble he did not know existed. It took 4 military cranes to lift the load up and put it back on the road. It was a hoot for those of us who got to skip that scale for the time it took to fix it. The scale man was in jail for interfering with a GBL load
Same! As soon as I saw where he had to exit the port I was like that's Baltimore. It's such a crappy exit to the port too. The low communications lines, the rail road, the tight left hand corner with cars always parked, the island in the mid to where trailers have to be lifted up to clear the island, the fact that it's a residential neighborhood, etc.
There was a similar haul into Arizona probably 15-20 years ago. A massive substation transformer had exploded and cut 1/4 of the incoming grid to Phoenix. They found one in the Seattle area, barged it to Los Angeles and then spent about 15 days getting it to Phoenix.
Well, I would like to see it my self, no I don't have any, you need a special premonition to film in the facilities and the port. They are loaded with one or two cranes that can handle the weight. Thanks for watching my channel
I have not seen it in person, but my uncle says they use 2x lumber for blocking.......it does get squished a bit. He owns an abrasive blasting company and they specialize in working on equipment for power plants in the South West US. He was telling me about blasting rotors inside the GE machining facility here in socal, but they do outdoor work in places like Paige AZ where it is either freezing or 120 degrees in summer. It is like anything, just scaled up. Whether I operate a 36" tiny mini ex in a backyard, an 8k pound yanmar mini, a cat 420 backhoe, 330 cat, or 349 cat, it is all the same, just on different scales. What sucks, is when you get to play with bigger equipment and then have to go back to the small stuff or work by hand (my body is always in pain) when you know what the right tools can do for you. Watching these guys make the tighter turns was like me loading super 10 trucks with a 78" bucket that only takes 3 scoops and can just about rub both sides of the truck at the same time.........asshole puckered to the seat.
We do things a little differently down here in Western Australia what’s the maximum height you can be on your main truck routes over there ? Awesome job too fellas
There's no limit as long as you can pass under, or the lines, lights ext.. must be moved and reinstalled afterward. There's another video on my channel when that transformer was moved. The freight company rented generators or put the family in the hotel for a few days until the power was restored. Massive operation, they utilized two jumper bridges, installing them over existing small structures and leapfroging, erecting and dismantling obe after the other. Australia is on my bucket list. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
He picked the load up at the port of Baltimore, and the load was going somewhere up north, New York, I believe. This was a multi day move (5) . I only followed it for a few miles since I was going to work the next morning
I live in the St Louis Missouri area and I've seen about 3 of these rigs on Hwy 70 . Haven’t seen any of the blades for windmills though. Its an impressive sight for sure . You know something big is coming towards you when there's not much traffic for awhile .
Yeeah, any given day there's about 100 different super loads moving in the country. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️, I am glad you enjoyed watching
@RobertDrawbridge They have some impressive heavy loads in Europe too ! The ones with the operation by a remote control of the platform with seems hundred tires.
I wonder who the driver was , I think Ray retired . I worked there over 20yrs ago , and Ray and Griff were the only two allowed to pull that trailer. One very vivid memory I have with my time there was the boss , Jimmy , he was a real tool , other than him I learned a lot there .
@dalefortner What difference does it make what they wear. I wore shorts and my bob Marley flip flops for years (when I was in the cab, and took the flip flops while driving). The throttle on a big truck is electronic. I could feel the pedal better when barefoot. When I when in @ the shipper’s office or consighie I would always change out of my driving clothes to uniform shirt long pants and boots. It doesn’t matter what you wear,that gets you from point A to point B. It’s that thing between your ears that gets you and your load there safe and sound.Your brain is the determining factor. This job takes more talent and patience than most people can fathom.
So I am new to this, this is the first video I have watched of this kind of heavy haul... I find it fascinating... one question I have, do these companies coordinate with the railway companies? I couldn't help but think what would happen if the truck was just crossing the track and a train came up on the horizon... is there coordination to know when a train would and would not be coming before planning these transports?
Yes and No, if its a simple level crossing they usually cross fairly quickly , If its a complicated crossing or requires ramps to be built usually dirt then great deal of coordination goes on between the state roads and railroad companies. In a case like that the RR send out a RR Flagler that is able to communicate with the train engineers, also the dispatch will restrict the train speeds to about 25 mph, since its now considered a construction activity, the bigger the load, bigger cost. thanks for watching my channel
Every time I see one of these I wonder how much that trailer combo costs and how much do they have to charge per load to make it pay for itself? I would be happy to have just what the tires cost.
Impressive, I have never seen anything like that . Hats off to equipment maker as well as professionals using it.
Thank you for watching my channel ❤️

I live in the St Louis Missouri area and I've seen about 3 of these rigs on Hwy 70 . Haven’t seen any of the blades for windmills though. Its an impressive sight for sure . You know something big is coming towards you when there's not much traffic for awhile .
Yeeah, any given day there's about 100 different super loads moving in the country. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️, I am glad you enjoyed watching
@RobertDrawbridge They have some impressive heavy loads in Europe too ! The ones with the operation by a remote control of the platform with seems hundred tires.
@harrycarroll5170 yes, they are on my bucket 🪣 list
Awesome move.
Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
I wonder who the driver was , I think Ray retired . I worked there over 20yrs ago , and Ray and Griff were the only two allowed to pull that trailer. One very vivid memory I have with my time there was the boss , Jimmy , he was a real tool , other than him I learned a lot there .
John is leading this one, Ray is working part-time and only day trips
Pretty incredible. Power generation parts are heavy!
Yes they are
I like all the flashing yellow lights like someone is not going to notice that giant road train.
Believe it or not, sometimes someone tries and makes it under the trailer at tight corners thank you for watching my channel ❤️
Good ole American machinery!

That is impressive !!!!!!

What about, since there isn't a weight limit, outfitting the Kenworth with a super sleeper to further mitigate the understeer?
@dalefortner
What difference does it make what they wear. I wore shorts and my bob Marley flip flops for years (when I was in the cab, and took the flip flops while driving). The throttle on a big truck is electronic. I could feel the pedal better when barefoot. When I when in @ the shipper’s office or consighie I would always change out of my driving clothes to uniform shirt long pants and boots.
It doesn’t matter what you wear,that gets you from point A to point B. It’s that thing between your ears that gets you and your load there safe and sound.Your brain is the determining factor.
This job takes more talent and patience than most people can fathom.
I absolutely agree and love the explanation. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
a police escort, i guess the shipping company must have spent a lot on this. this was a grand shipment, very impressive, good video
The police is the for traffic safety, clearing intersections blocking lanes when necessary, thank you for watching my channel ❤️

So I am new to this, this is the first video I have watched of this kind of heavy haul... I find it fascinating... one question I have, do these companies coordinate with the railway companies? I couldn't help but think what would happen if the truck was just crossing the track and a train came up on the horizon... is there coordination to know when a train would and would not be coming before planning these transports?
EVERY step of the delivery has to be planned out in excruciating detail, including any interaction with railroads and ships.
Yes and No, if its a simple level crossing they usually cross fairly quickly , If its a complicated crossing or requires ramps to be built usually dirt then great deal of coordination goes on between the state roads and railroad companies. In a case like that the RR send out a RR Flagler that is able to communicate with the train engineers, also the dispatch will restrict the train speeds to about 25 mph, since its now considered a construction activity, the bigger the load, bigger cost. thanks for watching my channel
WOW. Just WOW!

My first thoughts were what about railroad tracks. That center section is practically dragging as it is. Good lord 😳
I am waiting for someone to damage the track, LoL
Nice truck and nice trailer greetings from Indonesia😀

Diamond 19 axle. I helped build that trailer. We manufacture them and use them as well
Nicely built, extremely versatile. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
Очень хорошая работа. Поздравляю!

How in the world do they perform these transports with so little ground clearance. Absolutely amazing
The trailer has two hydraulic towers that raise the loads as needed, thank you for watching my channel ❤️
Nice. Badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾🤙🏾

Every time I see one of these I wonder how much that trailer combo costs and how much do they have to charge per load to make it pay for itself? I would be happy to have just what the tires cost.
The trailer is about 1.2-4 mil.
@@robertreighard1444 now thats a span of costs😅😅😅😂😂😂.
That’s when the transmission shifts like a hot knife through butter!!
Yes sir, 👍
Didn't know any outfit had this big of setups here in the northeast. Very cool.
There's 3 or 4 of them
Roughly, what does a load like this pay per mile? If that is how it is priced. Good looking set up!!
Real truck drivers don’t wear flip-flops.😎
All those trailers wiegh more than the load. Looks impressive.
Sometimes, it's an overkill. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
Very good.
Thank you for watching my channel
Love all the weight distribution points between do many axels. What is the final load weight per tire?
This configuration is 21,000 lbs. per axle, each state is different. Thankyou for watching
