Large medical grade oxygen tanker escorted by police cars and motorcycles
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A large 225 tonne medical grade oxygen tank makes it's way down the wrong side of the A34 escorted by Staffordshire Police with siren and lights in Newcastle-under-Lyme, UK
The 225 tonne oxygen tank, belonging to Air Liquide, was empty. The load was 49m long, 6.5m high and 4.9m wide and transported by Collett Ltd. Due to the abnormally large size, police were available to shut down junctions and escort the convoy down the wrong side of the A34 into the town centre. Various staff were on hand to cut trees, lift BT cables and move roadside furniture to allow for the safe passage of the vehicle.
The load was 1 of 4 to pass through the county of Staffordshire in a period of approximately 6 weeks. Due to the difficult movement of the load and the fact it wont fit on motorways, the journey of each load took 5 days to pass through the county of Staffordshire, including populated areas of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Rugeley, Cannock, Sutton Coldfield and other places.
This video was filmed on day 1 of 5.

I was just thinking there's no way I'd want to be the driver or rather drivers of that load. Way to much skill, concentration & responsibility to get it done right. I imagine it's nearly impossible to back up any if you don't get the turn just right. I wouldn't mind being a semi truck driver but that would be way to much for me. Although admittedly I can't be a driver because of bad fibromyalgia. I don't even have a car. Too expensive & I'd get stuck somewhere.

*_Imagine the truck have invisible tank that contain those oxygen... People would be confusing lol._*
I have seen idiocy before, but little to compare with many of the comments on this. For those of limited mental capacity: 1) The TANK is being delivered, not oxygen; 2) Once the TANK has been installed, it’ll be cleaned and filled with medical grade liquid oxygen in the usual way, tanker deliveries; 3) Several smaller tanks would cost a lot more and be more complex to install than one big one, and would require more space and potentially hazardous plumbing; 4) Smaller tanks to deliver the oxygen is irrelevant - it’s the tank that’s being delivered, not what’s in it; 5) Most actual destinations are some distance from a motorway - check a map; 6) Likewise nearly all railway freight yards; 6a) Imagine this thing travelling by train. Think of the railway lines you’ve seen, how far apart they are, the stuff around them, like signals, bridges, overhead power lines. If you can’t see the sheer impossibility of transporting this by train, you really shouldn’t be out by yourself. 7) If you play a video, and actually watch it and listen, you’ll often find that every dumb question you might come up with afterwards was actually answered in the video, often right at the beginning. Amazing! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Crazy sh*t carried out with the maximum care and professionalism! A tip of the hat to everyone involved!
Amazing 😉 well done for sharing this monster of a load. It's fascinating to see this humongous thing & the danger involves it's incredible. Tysm. My eyes gets bigger & bigger to see it from front then gets more & more it's shocking. 😳

This is only a few miles from where I live. It’s a pretty regular occurrence for loads this size along the A34. Some of the bigger roundabouts have dedicated lanes straight through the middle for this purpose, and for keeping the loads somewhere during breaks in the journey 🙂
