Nice video. In around 1975 I worked for Hoffman , Belleville NJ and was on the team that moved loads up to 900tons. We placed nuclear pressure vessels in containment domes. Transported from barge that had a 1000ton electric hoist for transfer from barge to our vehicle. The tractor was a converted 60yard mine hauler w/5th wheel . We didn’t travel fast but production at the site stood still to watch 900ton go up the haul road to the containment bldg. If you are Jimmy Hoffman and reading this, thank you for the experience!

Good thing there is a flashing light on this convoy, otherwise might be hard to spot and avoid. Not much time to get out of the way either. Safety team nailed it.

I couldn't see anything. Maybe put a time stamp on where it flexes under the weight.

My company fabricated and erected the bridge So some of the welds were mine

I really did expect the bridge to flex, I did not notice anything visually. Either way it was a very dangerous crossing.

and that my friends is the reason they have bridge laws and heavy haulers to understand them. You don't just go out and buy a truck and do this. There is a lot of engineering that goes into spec'ing the truck for it's use. Getting the right drive train is the key. A regular over the road truck is not capable of doing these tasks. You have to have an engine, transmission, clutch and axles that will sustain the torque when starting from a dead stop as well as having suspension and tires to handle the weight. KW is by far the best truck and company for building these trucks. Some of these trucks take a year to get delivered since the components are built for the specific truck and customer. And yes, there is a huge pucker factor when crossing bridges. I totally enjoyed this video. My hat's off to the engineers and contractors of the roadways as well.

Thank you for watching.

I was in New York State on an Interstate Highway. They stopped all traffic, and had us tune to an AM Station. They were bringing a heavy piece of equipment across the bridge, but I didn’t understand why all these vehicles were parked on the bridge. Then the Load came across in headed towards me, going in the opposite direction. I’m guessing the vehicles were being used as a ballast. It was a huge truck like this one. It was equipment for a power plant, and that was just part of the equipment. BTW One of the scariest bridges I’ve been across, because you don’t even see the bottom, under the bridge. The trees looked like toys for a train set.

I could not see any flexing happening, but maybe that was because they were moving slow per their procedures.

Aaaand the next car, a Lada, sent the bridge into the water, killing a school of lake trout. so tragic.

When San Francisco had an anniversary party on (75th) the Golden Gate bridge it had so many pedestrians, the bridge roadway arch had flexed flat. They had to close any more people on the bridge. .It had exceeded the weight limit and could have possibly had a failure ( collapse) of the roadway. So as in the Conan movie: What is stronger, flesh or steel?!!

Nope its all bolted

I LOVED watching the deflection, as viewed at the railings on the sides. Judging from those, it looked like considerably less than a foot of deflection. Estimating a 48-foot span, the max allowable deflection would have been 1/240th of that, or 0.2 feet = 2.4 inches. That looked about right. The height of the railing staves was probably 24", and it looked like about 1/10th of each stave was the max that it moved down. BTW, the load did not put a permanent flat spot on the bridge. It "un-deflected" as soon as the load was removed. Long, long, long ago, I worked in a consulting engineering firm designing the I-55/I-70/I-44 bridge over the Mississippi River at St Louis. I was very young then, and new to it all. And it was the only bridge I ever worked on though I worked in engineering for over 40 years. My bosses told me that ALL US bridges at that time were designed with a Safety Factor of EIGHT. The steel used is ASTM A-36 structural steel with a rating of 66,000 psi. This means that the steel USED is designed as if the rating is 1/8 of that - or about 8,250 maximum stress on the steel. So, basically, with a S.F. of 8.0, the load for 285 tons (570,000 pounds) it is as if a NORMAL building-type structure designed for 18,000 psi (a S.F. of 3.67) was seeing a load of 130 tons. A big deal and not a big deal. Moving big stuff like that is ass-kicking. I once had one of my brand-new double-width 120" industrial fan rotors get destroyed, clipping the underside of a bridge that the truck driver shouldn't have been going under. My company was not pleased!

I'm impressed with the truck. It has 2 people stirring it. Plus it is an amazing piece of equipment.

This video was almost as exciting as the one i just watched about paint drying. Next im going to watch a video of old people sitting on park benches. Fuck i need to get a life!

Pretty cool. You can’t see the road flex, you have to watch the railings and you will see it. I used to have a roommate who worked for a company that arranged for escort vehicles for stuff like this. I kept hearing “do you need a pole?” (You can see one on the lead vehicle) and wondered how you could do a road survey for something this size to ensure the roads could handle the weight.

Amazing how much the railing deforms when the load is in the middle of the bridge - presumably this did not permanently deform the suspension cables. Loved the hawk fly by around 4:45.

Well done! Excellent positioning to show the load deforming the bridge. Glad he was centered to distribute the load evenly.

Not saying it didn't flex but I could not see it.

I’ll bet the truck driver was “clinching” his cheeks the whole way over that bridge!!!

That really says something about the load this bridge carried that day. That whole set up stretched 225 feet, and it still put a noticeable flat spot in the bridge! That said, I really doubt that the engineers that crunched the numbers and inspected the bridge before the move were sweating very much. If it were very close to the limit, I suspect they would've changed the route or the trailer requirements.

Man that was amazing !!! I'm still shaking.

I drove a 41 ton load over a 9 ton limit bridge. The next day the sign was inverted to 6 ton limit. The central support was stone work. The bridge was about 70 feet long and 15 feet above the river. This was in 1980. A year later they put in a new one.

Man, not me....no damn way!

I just didn’t see it 😐

I'm surprised there is no flatearther arguing in the comments that it's refraction those flatheads don't like anything that is related to some sort of curve.

Hey everyone ninnymonger gave a great piece of info how to see the bridge flexing. go to 6:00...press the J & L Keys it advances the video by a few seconds & you can see the bridge flex. I watched the right side of the bridge and absolutely clear as can be. I never knew the J & L Keys functioned liked this. give ninnymonger thumbs up for sharing this knowledge w/us if you don't mind taking a second to do that. ppl are cool

Best part is that they ordered it through Amazon Prime so the shipping was free.

This is incredible! First time seeing the bridge is actually bending. Very interesting! Why so many dislikes? Maybe they could not notice or the saying the camera is shaky. I stabilized and speed up the bridge bending part of video so people can see more clearly how the bridge is bending. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqqBz6lwZNqTaZs.html The video is unlisted so everyone will link from your original video here.

Because people are stupid and literal. They we're actually expecting the bridge to go completely horizontal.

Most people only need to bring along a spare tire. These guys bring along a spare truck.

Its a pull and push configuration. One tractor doesn't have enough power to get up over some of the hills so ghey connect a second tractor for additional piwer.

The truck in the rear is a pusher truck providing the extra horsepower and braking for the load.

Sure can. Thanks for posting. Very interesting. You can see the flattening really well on this because the lens forshortening effect of the camera at high magnification. The same effect can be used artistically in photography when looking down say a railroad track or road with undulations in it. With a super zoom lens at high magnification, the undulations all look really steep and close together but when you zoom out they look normal again. This is because the light waves get compressed.
