- The Abnormal Load Engineering Unipower tank-transporter prototype still pulling its weight even with all its Trojan offspring trying to muscle in......

Well that brings back memories! Found some pictures at home of the Unipower HET and Nicolas trailer in the workshop shortly before trials and thought I’d look on TH-cam to see if still exists. Thanks for the trip down memory lane….
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment.
The Unipower is semi-retired now and lives in the Scottish Highlands.
Why would you dislike this? Description is accurate, video and audio are good quality without stupid effects. WTF were you lot expecting?
Wilderbeasts running majestically!
😁
Sydney Opera House perhaps.....the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon??
Great video, love to watch these super heavy oversized loads maneuver in traffic. I used to haul much smaller oversize loads like continuous miners, shield haulers, dozers and various other heavy equipment to our local coal mines here in Utah, but never anything as super sized as this.
That railway bridge clearance looked pretty tight!
James Campbell is
That's why the guy climbed up to look, hard to tell from the camera angle, but looks like they could have lowered the trailer/load by 6-10" if they needed to clear the bridge, but they do a lot of pre-work checking clearances/corner radius' when they plan the route.
gold5th Nevertheless, I bet they waited till it got this side before painting the top ;-))
Btw that's silver street overground station
@@gold5th I was thinking that, in the case of low bridges, the trailer height could be adjusted to fit. The bridge itself didn't have a height limit meaning it is 16'6" or higher (in excess of 5m)
Lovely.Thank you mr tl50camiva for share this awesome logistic and transport service.I love this kind of transports of Heavy and Abnormal loads.Wonderful video i may say.Thank you again.Greetings.
old and new british enginnering working together perfectly
Bloody marvellous planning ! Plus excellent organisational skills in operation of course ! Driving : spot on !! 😁 ( and I should know)!
You don't know shit Johnny!
I've just read on another website that ALE are making 6 of these new Trojan 8870's to replace their existing fleet, that being the case I do hope that they don't scrap the Unipower MH8875 as it is in effect "The Last Scammel" and deserves to be preserved as much as any Wynns Contractor, Diamond T or Pacific
Would suck if they scrap those FAUNs with their air cooled Deutz engines too...
Scrap them, if they put one on the market today there’d be rich people falling over themselves to buy one, there an Icon to the industry
Toontrain the last Scammel (used as a tank transporter by the British army) was the Commander or the s26 used by ALE and other heavy haulage operators, both were build at the Scammel works in Watford which doesn’t exist anymore.
@@numbersix100 I used to deliver R/R, later Perkins CV12 engines to Tolpit lane for the S26. Also took new CV12s + gearbox, to Vickers at Leeds and Newcastle, for the Challenger1. Also took reconditioned CV12s to REME at Bovington. The engine plant is now owned by Caterpillar, and all reconditioned engines go 10 miles down the road to COD Donnington.
'Toontrain'- I think ALE have lots of work around the world, so I'm fairly sure the Unipower won't be finished with just yet.
The first of these three moves had a Trojan front and rear, and on this the third move the Unipower is playing a major part as you can see.

very nice Video with super cool Special trucks. thanks for uploading
That truck doing the pulling is a beast.
Makes you feel proud to work for Siemens drives UK Congleton
Impressive vehicle.The generator they were carrying, or whatever it was, looked sort of like a large wheelie bin .
That was a great wee vid, would loved to have seen more of the trip. :)
if I ever get rich im having one of those trucks on my drive!

Only one?
very good videos.
that's an old Siemens mobile from the early 2000s.
Correction.that was a old Siemens dive with a 3 million £ Refurb
@@bigmuller1 3 MILLION POUNDS
Thanks 'tyredjoe', glad you like it.
I saw them in Dover. Awesome!
At first glance I thought they were Soviet/Russian prime movers used for, amongst other things, hauling ballistic missiles. Damn that was impressive. And in daylight :)
Is it me or does anyone think it's weird the pedestrians just walking past without even giving this outfit a look? How could you not just stand and watch the whole thing?
Yep!! Totally agree!!! But I guess they had more important things to do!
Probably on their mobiles, while the real world goes unnoticed by them, in later life they will regret all the things they have missed.
It's London say no more
Well pedestrians can't stop for risk of a pavement cyclist running into them.
Modern day zombies .
Silver Street, Edmonton.
tl50camiva do you know where it was coming from. That is a suburban Street it has just come out of.
The best of British.
A very impressive Company.
i saw these 2 montsters last week on the m1 first going north bound then a day or so later going south bound crawling with no load of 30 to 40 mph takeing up 2 lanes with no load on
need to let this out at 5 in the evening see how the road sweeper feels
Nicely filmed again, looks like a very tedious job
good video ! trojan is powered by VOLVO engine
great
Know that how u do it slow and steady 👷👍
Looks like it only just cleared the bridge.. Think I saw something similar in a Thunderbirds episode..
What the heck was that lot doing up Silver Street? Where it emerged from are local streets.
Lets hope they didn't take a wrong turn and end up doing a three_point_turn at someones front gate :)
I get it now...they have every light flashing so that all those support vehicles who have their lights flashing are aware that everyone else is there because if they didn’t have all their lights flashing someone might miss that the two hundred ton lorry in the middle of the road. Other than that, only one motorist needs to know, and that is the car coming towards them...and who is not going to miss a lorry that size, flashing lights or not. Bit of an overkill even for health and safety.
You have to allow for the idiot factor
Heavy Metal Cool !
Were those real police in that car? I’ve heard there are real police still around in London, to look after politicians, but I never thought that they still operated outside of the city. We have cardboard cut out police in shop windows around here, but no real ones.
There are real police around London doing real Policework - I don't know what you have heard but don't believe everything you read.
My childhood vids
What do the guys do in the little cabs on the main bogey unit?
They are in control of the trailer hydraulics. Lift or lower the trailer to stop it getting grounded and also to keep the trailer level left and right if they hit a camber.
@@tilerman Thanks
That looks a lot like a MAZ 537...
If it went under the bridge as that train was going over it it might have got stuck under it.
شركة محترمة وملتزمة
That truck look like MAZ 537..
That thing they are carrying must weight a bit
These tractor units are absolute awesome beasts.
What make are these tractor units and I am also wondering what their horsepower is?
i think the trucks are Scania D10'S and they have 1000 nm of torque
Not Scania's. ALE designed and built these trucks in house and they are called Trojans 8870. They have the Volvo Penta engine producing 700BHP, good for around 500 tons on the level.
They also have vehicles called Fauns which are locomotives too.
oh man, when you don`t have a clue, please don`t write anything.... 1000nm for heavy haulage is ridiculous... they won`t be able to pull the empty Trailer...
The first unit is a Unipower MH8875, former prototype tank transporter (that should have won the contract😁), the tail unit is an ALE Trojan (based on the Unipower), it has a Volvo 16.12 litre, 700bhp / 2375ft-lb engine.
in australia every thing is big
Que imponente cabeza tractora
Wieviel PS WIRD SO EIN LKW haben?😮😮
Beasts
Who are ale??? They seem very professional
A competitor to Mammoet.
Abnormal Load Engineering. I believe the original company was Robert Wynnes of Newport and I think it was the sons that became involved in setting up ALE. I am sure someone will know with more accuracy. Wynnes pretty much always built or heavily modified their tractor units and it seems ALE have gone a few stages further with their Trojans. What an absolute beast of a machine and what control over all the operating elements of all the matching units when coupled together.They may be more economical than many of their predecessors but I still wouldn't want the fuel bill for one.
He jumped a red light. lol
...And the police did nowt!
Do local Police handle permits in the UK or is it centralised?.
Each police force has it's own abnormal load dept. When your planning a move, you have to liaise with each forces' area you go through. Several years ago, we were planning a move, and contacted one force, to be told that their abnormal load dept was 1guy, but he'd retired, and they hadn't replaced him!
Where a bouts in North London was this filmed
Edmonton North London. Literally right beneath those trucks wheels is the A406.
The station sign is Silver Street Station on the Liverpool Street to Enfield Town and Cheshunt lines.
EDMONTON SILVER STREET
Nice video. Two questions for the experts: Who and how is is the speed controlled? Leading truck, rear truck (don't think so) or...
Cheers Adam
FlyToChina0071
A driver in each truck- communicating by radio. The trucks have auto transmission and travel fairly slowly so synchronisation doesn't have to be that exact.
OK & Thanks /Adam
Lead truck typically "sets" the speed, and asks rear push truck for throttle or brake. Tight corners where you see the operator out on foot, he calls the shots.
Ok & thanks :-)
Cheers Adam
All tractors can be connected electronically so lead truck is in control. Any number of trucks can be connected.
Ha, London. More like Baghdad.
It's not even central London it's In lower Edmonton which is in the corner of greater london

Is that all ,in the netherlands we move complete bridges trucks with maybe hundred wheels .
lino klein meuleman Yes, you're so much better and cleverer than us in the UK- the 'toppling cranes on a barge' move you did was a fantastic job!
tl50camiva don't be sarcastic.
Yes, maybe, but you've got a completely flat country!! No hills to climb so it's easier!!
drivers on the left side ? in london wtf
Doesn't really matter as he's taking up the whole road anyway, no-one's going to argue with him!!!
And they have a police escort, that tends to trump some, normal, traffic rules.

Hey tl50camiva, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
