    The heavy load took an unusual route to avoid as many bridges as possible, to reduce the risk of damage. This is with the exception of one point on the route where a temporary over-bridge had to be built, as seen in this video: th-cam.com/video/UYk5N92YJxM/w-d-xo.html
    Allelys transported the Siemens Energy generator, weighing 356 tonnes, from the Port of Ipswich to the Eye Synchronous Condenser Plant (read more: conradenergy.co.uk/energy-generation/grid-stability/yaxley-synchronous-condenser/ ) in Yaxley, Suffolk

      well if you have a massive abnormal load like that going though a town it will be planed like 3-6 months in advanced so that have time to plan. Plus a lot of them will already have experience in certain roles in the escort so they just keep the escort going.

      Looked like Smit Dutch trailers. I drove road trains in WA, needed RT's because when you came head to head with a 300 tonne mine dumper on a trailer, such fun. The load covered the whole width of the road, cars etc could drive under the load but not us. Not fun backing up several trailers. These enormous loads just drove off into the dust on side roads to mines. Hot and dry and great memories for a Kiwi, nothing like it in NZ.

    These guys are amazing, they delivered 4 massive transformers to the new New Deer Substation in Aberdeenshire when I was there. Large streches of the roads were A roads with trees everywhere and the last mile to the site entrance was a B road but still not a problem to these guys. There was 2 units at the front and 2 at the back as apparently transformers are heavier than generators and the extra power was necessary. Was a great piece of engineering and driving to witness.

    You would think connecting a major port to a power plant would be a large highway but it's the UK so centuries old narrow roads it is. Makes for entertaining content that's for sure!

    • @CobraEmergency
      @CobraEmergency  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It's funny you should say that! On the way into the port, the ship transporting the generator would have passed under the Orwell Bridge. A four lane highway/dual carriageway (A14) over the bridge and around the town, towards the Synchronous Condenser Plant.
      But because the port is centuries old (circa 625 AD), the town has been built around the port over a thousand years before the A14 became a major highway. The load arrived in the town at the port, and then made its way through the old town centre to the A14.
      There is a much larger and more modern port at the mouth of the River Orwell, the Port of Felixstowe, I'm not sure of the reasons for it not to have come in there but I am sure there were good ones.

      It is fairy liquid, those two rams with the feet on are stabilisers, just barely touching the bed of the truck but can still move up and down accordingly when the unit is on a camber. The fairy is just to act as a thin flim of lubricant.

Police cars, ambulances and firetrucks have a secondary battery that powers only the flashing lights and all of the features that an emergency vehicle have on board like radars, computers, radios and so on. The primary battery only powers the headlights, the air conditioner and all of the basic systems of the car. In the case of the Testa it could have a third battery on board, that could be considered as the secondary battery of the conventional emergency vehicles. Yep, electric cars have both a lithium battery that powers the electric motors, plus a conventional 12 volts battery to all of the service of the car, just like a conventional car
