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.
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
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.
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.
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
@@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
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
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)
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 ❤️
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.
Does the front and rear driver simultaneously throttle gas, or are the two trucks connected electronically in any way so that they automatically operate as one unit and throttle gas simultaneously??
Most of the time, the front truck can pull once the load is rolling, needs help in the mountains, and helps braking, the drivers communicate via CB radio. 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 .
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.
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.
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.
@@RobertDrawbridge I’m from the old school- duplexes, triplexes,!road rangers - 9 to 18 speed. But it seems the trend is to build automatics. Those heavy haulers are amazing, I’m sure having the skill to come off the clutch and not drop a drive shaft or u joint with those loads is important! Great content, thanks.
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
Cool heavy combination. What i am wondering about... Normally american axle load restrictions are very low . Here they load aroubd 245t+ vehicle weight on around 17 axles ( 1. Truck has some saddle load so i count those 3 back axles ). So its min.axle load of 19t. On public roads? There were combinations with 28 axles to reduce to standard axle liad without worse corner manouverability. Please do' t tell me other wisdom. I have over 30 years of german heavy haulage experience...
The permits alone could be $10K for basic permit, the more states the higher the cost no to mention the rout exploration if it's a brand new route, as for the cost it could be in $100's of thousands these companies have multi move and year contracts. Thanks for watching my channel
The man standing on the back platform must get relief a person, he has a very important job. Curious how long of a shift he works at a time? What was the maximum speed? Amazing 👏
The rear driver works the same shift, Max speed 10 mph for 3minute's, once on thhighway he is just relaxing until the next major 😎 intersectio. Thanknk you for watching my channel ❤️
@@RobertDrawbridge Thank you for responding! I have two long time friends that work for Intermountain Rigging and Heavy Haul based out of Salt Lake City, Utah and I watch every video they share. I love watching their videos, but never knew what a stator was
Dunno about heavy haulers but plenty of highway drivers took down the road wearing sandals or slipper type footwear. Lot of heat coming up from a tractor engine/transmission.
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.

Didn't know any outfit had this big of setups here in the northeast. Very cool.
There's 3 or 4 of them
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 ❤️
Does this require a semi with a specially built engine?
Not really, it helps if it's specifically built for heavy hauling , these guys are using a Pusher truck, thank you for watching my channel ❤️
What Jeep set up is that ? Absolutely gorgeous trucks
I love the C500 pusher, thanks for watching my channel
That's not a truck, that's a land train! 😊
It's definitely long enough for it, thank you for watching my channel ❤️
How the pusher synchronize with the tractor though?
The drivers communicate via CB radio and applying power as it's called from the lead driver. Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
The man standing on the back platform must get relief a person, he has a very important job. Curious how long of a shift he works at a time?
What was the maximum speed? Amazing 👏
The rear driver works the same shift, Max speed 10 mph for 3minute's, once on thhighway he is just relaxing until the next major 😎 intersectio. Thanknk you for watching my channel ❤️
When your ld has its own convoy🏁🏁🏁
Thank you for watching my channel
What are they hauling?
Stator, giant electric motor frame, thank you for watching my channel ❤️
@@RobertDrawbridge Thank you for responding! I have two long time friends that work for Intermountain Rigging and Heavy Haul based out of Salt Lake City, Utah and I watch every video they share. I love watching their videos, but never knew what a stator was
@@Not_The_FBI_1992 I'm glad you enjoyed watching
Pusher Man got it going on!😆🫶🏻
Absolutely agree
Dunno about heavy haulers but plenty of highway drivers took down the road wearing sandals or slipper type footwear. Lot of heat coming up from a tractor engine/transmission.
Thank you for watching my channel ❤️
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 ❤️
