The engine : " I can't produce more torque mate"
Cluch : I'm trying but all these computers and electronics are in the way 😕
Clutch: I AM MELTING HEEERE!

Huge respect to this truck driver. Keeping calm the way he did is not easy in a situation like this.
5:45
Dramatic voiceover: “and the police want the road clear”
Calm and polite officer: hey mate! What’s going on?
Lol
It’s not even a proper copper, it’s a PCSO (wannabe copper)
The image is very symbolic, two old volvos pulling a new one out of the hole🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kinda proofing old grandpa has alot of strength
@@carwashgaming3727 well they needed two for one new one.......thay are durable but i dont see any strength
@@stevengunter4990 if you go to 7.05 mins you’ll hear the guy say he’s just on tick over so has no power real on so they had 2 but only needed one tow truck
@@stevengunter4990 Found the child
There not choked up by emissions regulations
incredible that this is possible on UK roads. In Belgium trucks of this size can only travel during night after a lot of planning ! At that time its also easier to block roads to let trucks of this calibre pass
Driving at night through such villages would wake people and also likely to cause an accident as they are unlit. Most the roads are wide enough just the odd old village with escourt vehicle can block off ahead easily.
@@Dosedmonkey Nonsense, it might wake a few people but driving at night is way safer and better for congestion of traffic
@@therickman1990 i agree with you
@@therickman1990 No, it's more dangerous to do it at night because of the nature that it's dark. During the day, everything is illuminated and much easier for recovery or repair or Law Enforcement/Rescue assistance.
People out on the roads at night are either more HGVs doing routine jobs on main roads or are racers that aren't paying attention to a massive lorry.
Anything is Possible in the UK its our "can do approach" same approach that handed Europe back to its owners in 1945. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good planning to travel round there during festival time , let alone on last day 🙈🤷♀️
It's almost as if the TV company pays them to do something stupid to fill a series.
Life doesn’t stop because of some hippie festival.
So many Volvos I almost thought it was sweden xD
I felt bad for the guy when the truck died But he is right if it was easy everybody would be doing it
felt the same way
how are you doing
I grew up in Glastonbury, in fact i lived about 100m down that road. It was quite common to have oversize loads passing through town in the middle of the day.
Volvo has got some explaining to do. If you know Volvo, you know that they did a 750-tonne monster pull, way over the truck's max gross weight, and it did it no problem. I can't believe this happened.
But they have their brakes sorted - ua-cam.com/video/P-giC24SxwE/v-deo.html
Hopefully it was a manufacturing fault of some sort and as such a one off. If it's a design issue then that would be pretty shocking. These trucks aren't cheap as they need to be as reliable as possible.
Even the DAF i drive at work is known in the truck world to not be thr most reliable, but compared to the cars i've owned its been better than them all in terns of breakdowns and issues per miles covered. Infact it has never actually broken down.
He burned out the clutch
@@ousooners5193 it's an automatic and likely uses an air operated automatic clutch.
I assume this was done on rails, which have FAR less rolling resistance than tires on asphalt
Absolutely not the fault of the lorry driver of course, but I can imagine the immense pressure of a mixture of feeling embarrassed, helpless and apologetic etc. for blocking a busy road. Especially knowing that other lorry drivers have their tachograph clocks ticking. Being a new tractor unit, it wasn't exactly what anyone expected to happen. I love the way they dealt with the situation as swiftly as they could. These things happen and it was good to see that were no apparent displays of silly complaining and mild to wild road rage from other drivers.
"The Computer says no" that reminds me of
litte britain XD
Imagine telling them they shouldn't be there evan tho he's doing his job
The bloke who did the recovery does most of the hgv recovery on the mendips........I honestly think he never sleeps he is always out in his truck!!!
I heard a story that after being on recovery 4 36 hours he was just about to put his key in the door and his phone went off again!!
I know that because i watch super truckers!
@@sxui--robloxmore1156 👏
Idk why I read your comment w an accent
@cabeza_deguevo4255 somerset accent 😅
Poor planning and execution to move a load this size during that time of day.
Not wrong
They chose the worst time of the year for that area to move it, let alone the breakdown.The roads are jammed in that area when Glatso is on. And the roads are Somerset roads going through villages etc.
Unfortunately sometimes we can only go through villages etc, depending on the final location and if the customer requires it for a specific day then it gets there.
@@rambledogs2012 I don’t blame the transport company, I blame the quarry owners as they should of had better planning. They know when Glastonbury is on and the roads that would have been used to move the machine.
@@marksapollo Doesn't matter, they too will be on a tight time schedule in order to get the machinery in. A festival isn't going to be of any interest in stopping that schedule.
@@rambledogs2012 Yeap gotta keep them shareholders happy above ALL else. But if cars can’t get through, neither can emergency vehicles, you should think about that.
No emergency vehicle needed to get through so your point there is moot.
My god that man’s belly is ridiculously large 😂
2:17 This is one reason why you pull this type of load with a 18 speed, not a damn automatic truck... and I am not quite surprised that it is a brand new truck...
I work for a crane company and all ower ballast trucks are manual for reasons like this. The automatic just doesn't cut it.
Tis all about that gearing and torque. Wreckers here hold my beer
3:57 look at the number plate😂
When this programme was on, I much preferred watching the Kings Haulage guys, they had more personality then the haulage company they switched to for the second and third series.
9:16 "If [the excavator] slips off the timber, it could damage it's drive unit."
Oh, the drama!!!
🙄🤣
No way in hell.
hahaha thought the same thing
And who was the smartarse that decided to not wait until Glastonbury ended
The country doesn't stop because some hippies wanna go home.
@@djc1234 they clearly didn't need that piece of equipment on that day so yes they could have easily waited until the next morning, or he'll just do it like the rest of Europe a d move it at night
Its the customer that sets a deadline for when the need it.
I'll be honest Bob looked well pissed off that day and with good reason
He should've gotten the I-shift (with crawler gears)
I was sent to work on a similar situation, problem was that the weight of the truck was pushing on the clutch so it couldn't disengage.
If you look at the shifter it is an ishift
@@jamesw5607
I forgot to ad that I meant the I-shift with crawler gears
@@MattiAntsuK he will have crawler gears bud... for the work hes doing it will be speced with crawler gears
Liar 🤥
@@flalingbashers2957
What who?
„trucker break down...“ Thought at first that the driver, or the trucker, had an emotional break down while driving HAHAHA
Look at how much traffic this lorry is negotiating around it
thats why ya hang on to them old trucks, all this computerized shite is a pain in the ass
😂😂😂😂
@@AnIdiotAboard_ Smh typical keyboard expert 🤦🏿♂️
I thought it was breaks down as in emotionally breaks down lol
Same! And the thumbnail is misleading as well !
@5:24 computer says noooo
Good job mate!
Insert ‘you can’t park there’ meme
I got t Millfield the school down this hill I remember everyone missed school that day came in handy 🤣
And these are the type of jobs some companies still pay £11.50 an hour for. Huge respect the stress levels must have been off the scale.
Who thought of giving him an automatic truck? That was not smart
all the truvknus autđtonszic
A lot of trucks are now autos, very few new manuals.
It's a backwards world. The US has automatic cars and manual trucks, whereas the UK has manual cars and automatic trucks. For the most part.
Our work yard is about 2 miles from here I use the route all the time glad I didn’t get stuck in that
And there just happens to be a cameraman at the Office…
And no he wont damage the drivemotors on the excavator
Why wouldn't there?
If you film a documentary about a heavy haulage of course you would station a camera team at the office.
Even if nothing goes wrong you can still film some stuff.
Moral: New trucks are crap 😂😂
Like new cars, to many electronics to go wrong
New tech introduces new points of failure. Better to make a simpler machine than a more advanced machine with the same capabilities.
4:48 is that Richard hammond?! 😂🤣🤣
“And the police want the road cleared” 😂😂😂 crack on then copper
Yes he did come across as a bit of a dim wit. I would have taken the keys out of the motor and gave them to him and said .Here you go plod do it yourself
Hate coming to a red light on a hill when I’m loaded lol I get lucky most of the time w that green light
Good job them rescue team in the rescue lorry come here to help the stranded truck
I remember this episode, it was all done to the fact of everything being computerised now
When your truck is more dependent on computer, this will happen😂 the mechanic came with the computer instead tools
You say this but I bet your car is older than 2008
That old Volvo can pull that cargo thats what said old but gold
Can’t belt the voice over says “the computer says no” in a normal way 😭😭
Good planning.
Volvo truck can pull 750 Tonnes
Also Volvo:
Next time get a Scania 😂 by the way, it was a great video.
Proof that the old stock were built to last.
Get over to Yorkshire mate bit of fun loads of fun
next to this video, i see :'Volvo Trucks - Volvo Trucks vs 750 Tonnes: An extreme heavy haulage challenge' video LOL haha fail
Modern Curbsniffers cant even deliver one heavy load.... without the help of (G)oldies :D :D :D
Back in the days yous was able to pull any load with 280HP floating gears.... Modern days you cant pull a heavy load cos the clutch is gonna breakdown... Oooor the engine overheats.
Back in the day you didnt have 100 ton exvcavators or loads like these that have to be dragged on slopes like these.
@@ExeQtd Even if... It wouldnt be a problem ;) The trucks where heavier due to steel instead of the modern day plastics to save some weight...
Dont forget the engines where biiiig (12-16L to get the job done...) Today it's a Turbo with an engine... Back in the days it was an engine with a Turbo to help breath the engine properly to give it that extra push.
Now Volvo says OOOH LOOK AT US WE GOT THE CRAWLING GEAR.... With the right gearbox you have the Crawlergear aswell... (Eaton 18speed for example)
The real trouble with modern Curbsniffers is... Its a Robot doing all the work for ya... It decides what gear/what RPM etc (many trucks dont even have a kickdown anymore) back in the days it was the driver who did all the work.
@@TheTruth_187 i partly agree, i liked the big engines. But they are saving alot of weight so that they can haul more.
@@ExeQtd Very true :)
MAN is excellent in that matter... They built the new TGS/TGX series... You can buy the heavy 13L ooor you buy the 200kg lighter 9L (up to 400HP) which can pull up to 40 tons if needed.
I got the TGS 18.400 eventho i prefer the 13L engine that small 9L works like a dream aswell.
Max Torque at 1000rpm.
But how long will that engine last because small doesnt mean durable over the years.
Shhhhush Stevie I got this.
that happens when you dont buy a Scania
maybe if i want a show truck i'll get a scania
volvos are the working class of trucks
@@JacobBite scania definitely the best truck can't beat a 164 \8/
*cough*, Scania S770 V8, anyone?
@Hello Chinalex how are you doing
@@JacobBite volvos are junk lol. Scanias V8 engines are superb. And the New ones have 770hp from factory. All though you can modify them To over 1000hp.
DMAX UK.... hätte das nicht gedacht
Volvo's supposed to have an insanely good transmission for hillstarts like these. It was either overloaded or a factory issue, in which case Volvo is responsible for the damages.
Automatic
It's all fake for the cameras
Broomey is actually my uncle 😁
Is this shown on Amazon prime?
"What happend mate?" - "Died"
That fucking truck are automatically that can drive 5 year's kid. 😂😂😂😂
I hope he enjoyed his free granola bar, bottle of water and free toiletries bag you get from Volvo.
Sisu trucks are definetely the New Power They have more Power than Volvo and Scania.. I love every truck But Sisu my gosh I love it
But the stupid thing is, why plan to move that machine through Glastonbury when the festival is kicking out. They knew the road would be busy. Ridiculous to be honest. Feel sorry for the driver.
We gonna need a bigger boot
christ i remember how much backlog that actually caused ahaha it took people hours to get out
There's many 'I can't believe they did that, or they should have done that'. But one thing I would have demanded: truck must be manual.
i dont know nothing about trucks but does loads of this size actually damage the clutch when it is engaged?
edit: not sure if i read correctly but if it is a automatic god bless that is one thing i remember about manual vs auto manual is always more reliable for heavier loads
Why would they not do this at night especially during festival season
It’s kind of a problem with a gearbox which is driven by compressed air, when the engine stalls it locks up the gears and clutch as well. Getting used to these quirks, means getting the truck into manual low low gear and then just motor uphill because there’s usually no lack of power….
im on stress just watching this
This is really really bad planning and there is a reason why wide transports is done during the night.
I remember watching it in tv few year ago, why it is posted now?
Old grandpa volvo saved the day. It would be kick ass moment to send an old f16 470 to pull the new one lol
Hang in there dude. Life is cool really. People love you!!🌴🌍🇬🇧🌴
Oh! That is what you meant by breakdown....
Should be doing this sort of stuff in the night time . Wasting everyone's time during the day
I see it's the same as in the USA, Big trucks with automatic transmissions = JUNK!!!! Just like antilock brakes on airbrake vehicles, they've had 20+ years of development and they still don't work.
How many Volvo's does it take to get up a hill...
I clicked expecting to see the driver 'break down' crying or something
i think i have to move to the uk mate
talks just like a pro'r somerset man!
my dads in this 😂
Up up up up
Old is best!
Good enjoy 😉 😂😂
Sweet,three hour lunch break ! Lucky trucker!
I don't think so ,he may have been able to book it as a period of availability ,but technically he could not have booked a meal break as he was required to stay on duty with the vehicle.
@@FK-zr9fn joke F , hes hardly going to fuck off to mac donnells !!!!!
Isn't that Trevor from GTA?
Mi je zelo všeč
5:25 surely that thing has a torque converter, those 750 HP engines have like 3500 NM of torque which would surely vaporize any clutch immediatly
nope, it's an AMT, automated manual transmission, has a pneumatic piston that activates the clutch
@@Arthurb06 I'm amazed it doest get shredded when pulling away by the massive torque of those engines
@@Trainman10715 they only deliver the torque at like 1400 RPM plus the truck does not give the full power till last gear and at 1400 orso rpm otherwise drive axles and other stuff will go bye bye by the first time you floor it
Old trucks are better more reliable and more durable than these new computerized trucks
The trouble with modern vehicles is that they have made them far to complicated, I have heard one story that to change the oil on one new vehicle you needed to plug a computer in.
I have seen a particular instance similar to this one when a large truck pulling over sized concrete bridge beams roughly weighing 150 tons all up had to stop on a hill, the truck could not spin the torque convertor up fast enough for it to be able to pull forward, the solution was get a police Range Rover to pull it from the front to take the strain for a few seconds so the torque convertor could start to put power to the axles, and get moving.
Volvo cars do the same, I had my car in the local mechanics and the guy had a Volvo SUV in when I went to get it. I got chatting and he said the owners over filled it with oil, but it’s because Volvo cars don’t have a dipstick! It’s all computerised and you have a digital dashboard level, he had to plug his fault finding computer in to find it was a simple overfill though, so the car wouldn’t run. Why replace a simple dipstick the computer?
@@marksapollo That would make it far to simple to do, if you need to use a computer then you need the right computer and software along with someone who knows how to use it, all this means that for a simple oil change that we all use to do years ago now means a visit to a main dealer and pay main dealer prices.
@@Ashworth-Media Very true. A way to create more cash.
@@Ashworth-Media that’s a lie 🤦🏼♂️
@@angus1682 I never post lies, only the truth, so with the plugging in a computer this is done instead of having the old fashioned service book stamped up by the garage, now all the service data (i.e. oil changes) is now being stored in the car, we are taking BMW's Merc's etc.
Read up about how torque convertors work with there fluid dynamics and you will see that I am correct.
Next time try going downhill and coming up in manual
Volvo’s I-Shift gearbox is an automatic gearbox.
What program is this ?
King heavy haulage. Super truckers was the series
computer says no lol
and the camera was there to witness this drama, unbelievable
I was told by the Volvo dealer it was pilot error 🙈
Did I just watched that?
2 v1s 2 the rescue cool
Needed a Kenworth
Should have brought a Scannie v8
