Hello good afternoon thank you for everything that you do you are wonderful you're beautiful I hope you have a great day thank you the greatness in you is beautiful.
would like to know 355 tons I know someone knows how ton each wheel carried? just for the fun of it tell me the cost of this move. Could I buy a couple cases of whiskey what it costed them to move this? thanks for a very outstanding video.
The plate on te front states, STGO CAT 1, this means that the maximum load cannot exceed 50 000kgs. Counting the wheels on the trailers gives you 64, which you divide into the gross weight of the load and trailer. Basically, not a lot really, at 781kgs. By comparison, a standard tipper, carrying 25 000kg has a footprint of 2667kg The guy in the trainers is a traffic marshall and does nothing but keep a safe working area, so no need for boots. He's the highest paid of the whole crew, at £14p/hr, believe it or not.
@@petemoore5104 agencies pay truck drivers more than that. Where did you come up with £14 ph. Load all drivers on building sites get around £15 ph. Joiners get around £18 ph, just to give some comparison. The ticket to drive this would cost a fortune.

Video starts at Stanningley Road junction with Swinnow Lane. Reverses up Swinnow Lane towards Rodley preparing to turn left into Broad Lane. Next view is at the bottom of Broad Lane trying to turn into Wyther Lane, video stops.
It would be a special order movement as too heavy for Cat 3. The plates could be from a previous job or unladen movement, they want to use the lowest cat permissible as there are less restrictions.
that stress is perfectly normal . been around this type of equipment before creaking and banging thats common with a average semi truck they are made to "give"
Found myself shouting at the camera man @ 25:00 'look left' since that seemed to be where they were having problems. I guess we'll never know. Well followed and filmed otherwise.
SmokinJoe347 These are all highly trained and skilled professionals with very specialised skills, my bet is these guys can demand their own salaries should they need to.
I don't think it did, I think it went into the building site on the left. There's no way it could have got round the corner, it would also have been easier to go further down Stanningly Road and turned left there.

In the 60's I was a teenager and I was involved in push pulls. In the end of the 70's or first part of the 80's I had the tail wagging the dog only I was the brain and could wag my own tail via a solenoid valve from a John Deere 95 combine leveling system plumbed into my truck/tractor's power steering with a toggle switch in the cab and hydraulic cylinder's steering the trailer. The power of diesel, oil and air makes my grandpa's herd of horses and mules strapped together seem antiquated. But it is amazing what one can do with what one has available. Now a fire takes out my shop with most of my tools and thieves steal most of my few remaining tool's and County Government say's I have to get rid of my building materials and hauling and loading equipment because of new zoning restrictions. Life Sucks!!! Life is hard and then you die!!! GOD is mercyfull!!! Praise GOD-get me out of here!!! This world in not my final home!!!
Transformer $250,000. Custom trailer to move transformer $500,000. Those pissed off waiting in traffic, think of your gadgets this will power, for everything else there is MasterCard. Lol
@@ScaniaVabis580 Is it my miss-remembering, or where they initially designed for tank transporters, but the MoD went for something else ... instead of being scrapped, ALE snapped up all six for a fraction of the actual build costs ...?
Coz it's Leeds at 5 mins mark i live litrally 3 mins further up the road and i don't even remember this event. But i can say that my dad was'nt stuck in traffic behind it or i'd still be listening to him moaning about it today
Quite possibly due to a combination of distance need to travel plus speed of travel ... also, given all the tight bends the entire transport system had to negotiate, working in maximum visibility would mostly likely was a major consideration. I have seen very large loads carrying their own floodlights, powered by portable generators, fixed to the actual transport wagon, but that brings it's own problems, not least the additional weight penalties in terms of the floodlights/generators own weight, plus the need to carry extra fuel for them in the support vans; also, working in full daylight eliminates any problems of the crew working in the severe light/dark contrasts as with high-beam floodlights, and so forth. Besides, this was probably pretty well coordinated, with advanced notice of the transport given along the route to the local public along it, with all but the most major of roads closed off to traffic, and the major ones using a 'rolling road block'.
@@nekoroms Well, the police wouldn't mind, as after all, plenty of them work a nightshift, but for the power company, and the company in charge of the road maintenance crew, that would probably forking over time and a half, at least ...
and of course you're an expert on this sort of thing then? I really do get sick of all the 'armchair experts' on here that think they know better than those actually doing the job!
@@kurtmu-b7w Indeed ... the load looks like a high capacity transformer; only but major work sites, like some power stations, and metal works, for example, have their own rail-heads; hence, for any other site, road is the only way, hence why companies like Wynns, (which is perhaps the oldest), ALE, Mammoet, to name but three, use innovative transportation systems to reduce the axle load.
@@johnmarlog6933 The transformer itself may 'small' enough to fit within the UK rail gauge, but the trouble is, most job sites something like this doesn't always have a rail-heads, either close to the actual manufacturing plant and/or the installation site. Moving from road to rail to road would very well be a vastly more difficult undertaking, making purely road a much more viable option. Heck, as a commentator above correctly stated, even when the transformer was being designed, transportation would have been a significant factor in its very design, with a minimum of a year planning, and surveying, the prospective route, along the with co-operation of the local constabulary, and the council, with due regard placed on the condition of the roads; any obstacles, like roundabouts; and the infrastructure, like water and gas mains, plus sewer lines, below the surface. My Great Uncle used to work for British Thomson Huston (aka Big, Thick, and Heavy); he started off as a transformer designer, and retired as Group Manager, Coventry Group (including the Rugby Works), roughly when BTH, along with AEI, merged into GEC/Marconi. Even in his time, especially when most goods were transported by rail, and, iirc, pre-Beaching (sp?), Wynns were called on alot to move the larger transformers, since suitible rail-heads were few and far between, and, I am guessing, even then road transportation costs compared to rail may well have been cheaper even then.
Don't get me wrong, I know folks need jobs, and that's alot of ppl needed to make this move happen, but couldn't something like this be trucked in in about 10 truck loads and put together on site. Seems like alot of stress in every bodies mind to move this when it could be trucked in with less stress In a few smaller loads. Props for the job, just seeing that it could be done with less ppl and way less stress, and way less time consumed in tying up the road and police and everything else that went into it.
This is beautiful to see, from Canada, peaceful international cooperation
This drew a bigger crowd than what Bradford City would at their home games.

I wonder how many motorists wished they'd started their journey 2 minutes earlier that day?
Rey Deblois they should pay more attention, traffic reports would have been posted in advance of such moves. I'm thinking they just wanted to be in convoy, at that speed they could easily have diverted to come out in front.
ALE now part of the Dutch firm Mammoet. Bloody impressive kit!
I've worked with Mammoet moving a 400 ton transformer from Savannah port to Texas. They are a class act.
why do you say " bloody" ?
It amazes me that they can maneuver that Hugh piece’s of equipment on those narrow streets.
Quite amazing
The tires on the trailer are steerable. They can get the trailer into amazing places. There are driver locations at the front and rear of the trailer in addition to the truck tractor operators.
So what was being transported?
5 spare wheels with tyres @ 9:53.. probably the same on the other unit? . Good idea.. Making it look easy doesn't happen overnight.. Thunderbirds are GO!! They remind me of American fire trucks as seen from the front.. My, that's very strong ALE..
Especially built by ALE powered by Pentas and all controlled by the lead wagon
Impressive to say the least - The guys who do thyis display wonderful teamwork and skill

How do the front and rear tractors synchronise their power so that they’re not pushing or pulling each other?
perhaps computer and team coordination?
What makes the transformer so heavy ??
Big iron core and lots of copper windings.
What you get a lunch break too or every new intersection
