- Here are some more pics of the HHA boys in action - this time with the help of the boys from Barnes Auto with their two big tow trucks - combined horsepower for this move was in excess of 3500hp - the range was defeated in less than 25 minutes total climb..... well done to all invloved - for yet a massive move....
Most of the comments from commentators here are missing the whole awesomeness of this video! Its The Toowoomba Range they have just climbed, This climb its epic on its own let alone with a load that huge. Also some of the Symphony orchestras have to practice for years to make beautiful music, what you witnessed here was pure Symphony!
Dat v8 from the Mack is fucking AWSOME and the scanias
saaaweeeet keep the vids comin like to c the big stuff rare to move that many tons in the states
thats correct but the main deal with the trucks in this video was to get it up the range. if you want to see what im talking about go to texast525 (owner of this vid) and have a look at his video toowoomba range in mack superliner and you will see why they needed the trucks.
Depends on the terrain. One truck is not pulling that load up a steep grade. Even large haul tractors like the Mack M45 can only pull so much before drive axle traction becomes a huge issue. The Mack M100 was rated to pull 1000 tons but eventually a grade will present a problem. Also road conditions play a role as well, are you always going to be on a paved road?
Next time, please think before you speak. Finland isn't the land of magical trucks.
awesome work jon, great vid and thats a damn big shift!
Thankyou
the truck lightnings looks great!!!!
WOW THIS IS AWESOME JON!!
@cromboldWVU Actually some severe duty semi trucks can pull over 1000 tons alone. The world record for weight pulled by one semi on flat ground is 2.8 million pounds which is 1400 tons. But a load that heavy would destroy the roads and be impossible to slow down when going downhill. That's why they always use a couple trucks in case one loses its brakes or something. You wouldn't want to risk damaging a multimillion dollar load or losing control and killing people.
Awesome trucks
holy cow !!! awesome vid
This video is taken at the topgoing through town, the range is insane, every day trucks get stuck ( clutch damage, broken tail shafts etc), in 2004 they brought a load up to the power station, it was the biggest ever moved in Australia, it got stuck halfway up the range & was there for over a week, even before they got to the range they had big problems, it sank through the highway surface & struggled to pull over the earth surface. I will find pics I took & post with a link.
That’s 4000 horsepower right there!
@lordtaw 1000 tons pulled by one truck? I doubt that. And even if it could move it (on level ground), no company would dare rate a truck for 1000 tons because the first downhill grade and the trailer will be in control.
Impressive
Half a million kilograms, wow!
that truck is a western satr with a 600hp cat ,18 speed and a 4 speed auxillary
There's a lot of talk about pulling power from folks that prolly know way more about
Whats the weight of the heaviest load ever!
