@@figlexgonzalez3115 Indeed its amazing how they've engineered the distribution of weight for such loads. Sitting such concentrated weight on any conventional trailer would certainly break its back. This weight distribution isbif a science far above my feeble mind. LOL.... Years ago I drive coast to coast and Canada and hauled 'permit loads' (heavy, high and wide), but never operated anything of these proportions ... always thought I'd like to, but only ran conventional tri-axle heavies. The steering system on this rigging is what fascinates me the most.

Can you imagine checking the air pressure in all those tires 😂

They used to just carry a little midget in a box on the trailer, those were the days! He would even stand on the truck passing under low clearance obstacles, he would hold a bag of bells or in northern states they just put a single large bell on his hat, if you heard him fall, it was time to stop.

Reminds me of the giant boilers I'd run a push truck with, heading up to Cold Lake Alberta Weapons Range, but this is looooong! Loved how the middle axles of the set were all individual steer! So smooth. All night runs though for us, no daytime until 5pm. Slow going. 25kms/hr max. Big frame sections, with pipe and walkways and around 65ft high. 2 pull trucks, 4 trucks pushing in spring to fall, or 6 push trucks in winter. All chained up too. Massive money driving for Premay

@@GoldVP... They've came a long way with these specialized transports ... The new (I think it's called autonomous steering) has been a game changer for sure. I watch quite a few of the open mine videos, and they're using this steering on the newer dumpers. It blows one's mind to see the technologies that keep changing things. The one thing in this vid was my thoughts on what such a trailer syst would cost. I'd think we'll into the millions.

I drove out of Ohio years ago and hauled 'permit loads' 48 states and Canada, even to and through WY. ... Never anything this massive and awesome tho ... I wish you'd have shown the on and off loading of this piece. I can't imagine the rigging that handles this sort of weight .... the trucks and trailer show the sheer power needed just to get it transported. Awesome job!! The responsibilities of the crew required means everyone had to be in synch 100% of the time ... the routing required, not to mention getting highways cleared to accommodate this sort of move. So many things factored in makes it a task.

I passed you guys just outta Laramie a few weeks ago. If I remember right there was two of those rigs running together. It's definitely a pretty incredible piece of equipment !

Looks like the same trailer I worked with 25 years ago. I do miss the days of work for intermountain rigging in heavy haul.

Had to contract someone to move a 260,000 # vessel a few years back. Not like this, but a challenge for sure. Not many around that do this kind of thing. A lot of work goes into such an endeavor. Routing, permits, bridge upgrades, engineering, power lines, permits, crews, cranes and crews on both ends. Glad had a good team.

Great teamwork

That is the biggest trailer I have ever seen. I guess the load was 1,000,000 pounds and the tractors + Trailer = 500,000 lbs.

I was stuck behind that for approximately 50 miles before they pulled over in a parking area and let us by

That’s pretty cool and amazing - thanks for sharing this

How much horsepower is moving all of this? 5:00 is pretty incredible. That looks like a significant hill. It's been a long time since I had a physics class, but to move 1.5M lbs up a 10° incline (17.6% grade) at 10 mph would take about 7000 HP, I think. And that just accounts for the weight, no rolling resistance. (1.5M lbs * sin(10) * 14.667 ft/s) / 550 lb-ft/s = 6946 HP So 3500 HP would be able to do the same incline at 5 mph, or do a 5° incline at 10 mph. Seems like 3500 is a little closer to what we see at the five minute mark, but I have no idea what the speed or incline was. Regardless it's nothing short of incredible. Just the coordination with the various jurisdictions to move a load like this is enough to make my head spin.

Because of the “bridge law” in the US they have to distribute so much weight per axle and each axle group has to be at a certain distance from the next axle group. This is why they have to put together such a monstrosity of a trailer which weighs double than the piece of freight being transported. If the GVW is 750 tons and the transformer is 235 tons, then the equipment weight is 515 tons. Gaoood almighty, that’s terribly inefficient! There’s allot of transportation infrastructure in the USA, as in roads and bridges, but it’s all sh!t because it has a very limited weigh ratio as compared to the infrastructure in Europe.
