- Sussex Roads Police escort two 300 tonne 70 metre long abnormal loads of essential National Grid equipment from Shoreham Port, passing through Portslade, to a substation near Ninfield in East Sussex. The escort caused significant disruption having been delayed by almost 3 hours due to an oil leak and one of the loads getting stuck when trying to leave Shoreham Docks.

Best footage I've seen of this, hands down 👍
Woah, that 5 series is amazing!
Lovely catch dude!
Agreed. It looks like it means business.
Good one!! Like the commercial vehicle unit!! ⭐️👍🏻⭐️
Don't think steel toecaps would help much if that ran over your foot 😜
I wouldn't have thought so, anyway!😱😜
It's 300 tonnes per load, but spread across at least 160 wheels. So less than 2 tonnes per wheel. That's less than a typical HGV. I wouldn't want to risk testing it out myself, but steel toes would probably be fine, provided it wasn't so far up the foot as to hit the unprotected arch.
@@misterflibble9799 Most steel toecaps are only designed to take up to 1.5 tonnes weight on the toes, but if you have ever had anything heavy on your toecaps you know the back edge tends to dig in to your foot anyway,
they are basically designed to stop you receiving life changing injuries but you would still receive some injuries below max weight, over that and they actually make the situation worse because they now have to remove your foot from inside the steel toecap.
Still would rather wear them than not though had an accident in them one day and ended up with a cut half way through the steel, if i had not been wearing them i would have lost half my foot, as it was i still severely broke my ankle.
"I'm sorry to tell you, Mr. Allelys, that you've failed your test, because you didn't signal correctly at the junction."
Great video, thanks for sharing.
If anyone wants to know,this is very rare to be seen at any place and at any time.
Yep. Lights, cars, bikes, radio comms, officers in hi-vis jackets, blocked traffic and a VERY wide load... It's like getting my Great British bum out of bed in the morning. 🤭
Great video 👍👍
An emergency generator heading to an emergency bunker. They’ve just realised nothing works.
Getting round that bend, 59 seconds in, looks enough of a headache! Lampposts still standing!
When they quoted for the job I hope they didn't base their fuel costs on the price of Diesel back then!! Me thinks they will have lost out on the job. Impressive through.
@Lancashirelad Just as bad then! The gas energy held in the equialent oil "barrel" would mean gas is now costing four times as much as a barrel of crude.
@Lancashirelad Not convinced of that. I think those cylindrical tanks are to hold extra compressed air. Presumably the multi-axle load platform has air-operated brakes, and thus needs a lot more air supply than a traditional semi-trailer.
Looks like they have a transverse-mounted diesel tank just behind the cab (underneath the aforementioned air tanks).
When calculating such transports you usually do not calculate the fuel costs separatly. These are contained in the tractor calculation which are usually based on a daily rate. Either way the fuel costs would make appr. 5 to 10 % of the daily tractor rate.
@Lancashirelad dont think diesels can run on gas
@Lancashirelad thats quite amazing never they could do that cheers
These Alleys drivers are briilliant
Loving those 530Ds
so is it a combined load with trailer weight included? or is the load 600t?
Neither
I' d doubt the 600 tons either way.
The 5.5-bridge is good enough for a 550 ton load but the axle setup tells of a maximum of 360 tons for the girder trailer. Plus appr. 50 tons for the pushing and pulling tractors would make it at least 460 tons in total.
@@erikrobin6547 Is it not 16.5x20=330tons or am I out of touch with axle loads?
@@erikrobin6547 Faktor 5.5 maximum load is 350 tons, the trailer weight 63,7 tons. Thats the reason why his name is Faktor 5.5. His own weight 5.5 times is the load weight.
One of the transformers weight 230 tons plus the trailer you have 300 tons. The axle setup is just important for the pressure for the roads. 2x10 axle means 15 tons each axle. Butt this heavy trailers have special axle with 8 tires each axle. Means your pressure is und 12 tons each axle.
Wouldn't want your premises burning down then the fire brigade are caught behind this lot!😖😡😱😬😜
Fools, i could take that on my bicycle 🚲 😂💪
so what was the load?
Seemed to be a transformer.
Wouldn't it be easier to do it in the middle of the night when there's less traffic around?
I would’ve thought so.
Yeah you would love this rolling past your bedroom window at 3am. Cost is probably the major factor, plod availability, lots of roads are closed at night for maintenance, who knows?
I've heard via Police officer contacts of mine that daytime abnormal load movements are better moved in daylight hours as they are more easily controlled on the grounds of visibility, being able to easily control the traffic, onlookers, locals and the communities, local councils and authorities involved along the route.
That sounds just like one of those "couldn't the police have shot the escaping murderer in the hand rather than in the middle of his body?" questions.
Too dangerous to assess and complete at night.
Is that actually the polices job?
