      I remember one driver coming off of Avola Mountain, in B.C., in the very early '70s with 126,000 lbs+ of Western White Pine aboard. And his truck wasn't loaded much higher than the stakes.... He got a ticket at the Weyerhauser scales for being overloaded for the highway, and was irate about that, since it was the loaderman's fault the truck was way over...

    In the 1960s, Caterpillar built 5 or 6 extra-wide off-highway logging trucks with 12 or 14' wide trailers. 3 went to MacMillan-Bloedel company operations on Vancouver Island, and 2 ended up in Clearwater, B.C. Huge trucks, but not generally usable in very many logging shows around B.C.- none that had to use standard highways, at least- so that series was cancelled.
    A guy I knew was the mechanic on these trucks in Clearwater.
    It was terrifying to meet one of these on the road, since they took up so much space....

  • @SVOceanBird
    @SVOceanBird 15 років тому +1

    The ones I worked on had 2 blownV-12s mated together and 18 speed powershift. They handle 70 ton loads. Tires are off highway and run low pressures of 30 -35psi. Brakes are water cooled.
    They don't make them like this any more.

    This beast and driver only needs 1 wiper to deliver that heavy load in extreme condition. While recent fancy truck needs atleast 4 wiper to walk at catwalk. Absolute monster.

    @trapper420 14 років тому +1

    @antonisbob I think its a Pacific Hayes...... they are made for use as a logging truck.. They where made so well...they didn't have many breakdowns. In turn that put them out of business. :-( To bad as they are very strong trucks.

    exactly. the last picture i saw a few years ago was of the abandoned one with the bush 'reclaiming' it. thanks for the info, wasn't sure if they were mack, hayes, or pacifics. anyone know of any pictures?

  • @mrbillmacneill
    @mrbillmacneill 15 років тому +1

    Over the years that I hunted and fished in bc i saw trucks just like this on grades you would hesitate to take the family car down.Back tires locked on the trailer ,literally sliding forward a foot and then stop.
    And they can go fast too. I fondly remember being passed by a logging truck around the flats between daisy lake and whisltler. I was in the last car in about a group of five or so. hangs a pass on us all .... then as he got up to the next turn he disapeared in a cloud of steam.

    I want to hear the trucks- dont mind the music though. kind of suitable!
    Is this renewable logging?
    They probably plant trees aswell? then they can harvest them later.
    If only they did it in Brazil-rain forest fucked- people thrown off their land.

    @WesternStar4900SA Ok..My bad..Pacific and Hayes are different.. But both are big trucks that haul big wood. :-P
    Who said anything about Mack or Kenworthless... I work on both Mack and Kenworth... Mack is SUPERIOR. Kenworth... NOT even in the same class. Wiring nightmares....arggggg! As for the power units...well any one who know trucks ...knows you can have what ever you want, pretty much. :-)

  • @WesternStar4900SA
    @WesternStar4900SA 13 років тому +1

    @trapper420 Pacific and Hayes are two very different companies. Kenworth and Mack also made 'fat trucks.'
    Hayes and Pacific both had break downs like any other truck, they used the same engines as large on-road rigs. And they went out of buisness-yes-because they lasted too long. PAcific and Hayes also made trucks for every other purpose.
    Research next time.
