I'm a UK trucker I've never done heavy haulage but would love to do, huge respect to you and the other guys that do it and make it look so easy, very professional love the vids.👍
I was a former employee of Wellman robey in oldbury and i remember Allelys moving 5 or 6 furnaces to york i think. They were around 40m to 50m long and 4m in diameter. What your doing here reminded me of the professionalism you guys showed back then right down to unbolting the signs on the island so you could get the furnace over unbelievable work.
I used to enjoy going to Wellmans, the little cafe was great. Iv been back recently and took packing cases and such out of Conway Packing very sad to see so many of our engineering companies fall by the way side.
Looks pretty handy with those dollies, for a 55m truck & trailer. 👍🏾😎 Wonder that it seems to be allowed in the UK to do such transports during daytime. In germany only bewteen 22-6h. Greetings from Berlin 🇩🇪
Unfortunately most motorways in the uk have overnight works or closures on them making the movement of particularly large loads very difficult over here. Thanks for watching Arno!
I checked out the factory on the old Google, place looks like a ghost town but theres still bridge sections just lay on the floor. Such a shame. The place even has a rail link.
Good to have sound, I have been known to drive what was known as the ,Puddle Jumper. Poland.. and back...now retired live good life in Thailand.... !....
Now the videos are becoming more popular I thought I had best do something about the sound. Music is so personal so I thought I’d give the commentary a go. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
@@Priestabload Commentary is great - vids would be better if showing the full journey. In this case highlights from the motorway changes and then the arrival at the site.
Hi, intrigued to fathom how the rear bogey keeps a locked distance. I think it's the actual bridge making part of the trailer so to speak but my brain won't compute that with all the rear steering, rotation of the load on the bogey and so on.
No it takes it from the turntable on the rear bogie. As the beam turns, the turn table drives two rams which provide a hydraulic signal to the rear bogie wheels. The front bogie obviously gets its steering signal from the front draw bar as it normally would.

Great vid.
Thanks for watching
Loving the videos with the commentary giving interesting information
Thanks Ann glad your enjoying them!
good stuff.
Good fly on the wall vlog from my local area
Thanks Sean glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing process
The guy working the rear steering on the bogey must be a fit bugger.
That would be me Jim. I would love to say I’m an Adonis but unfortunately I’m fat, middle aged, smoker 😂
@@Priestabload how on earth do you do it then? 😎
I ask myself that every time I do it 😂
@@Priestabload LOL, I was a soldier for 25 years, I know that feeling! 😂
Awesome video again Jason 👍🏻
Cheers Jack!
It's a shame you didn't ship the management out with this bridge

Heart breaking that it was allowed to happen.
Thanks for watching

That’s exactly it, the bridge is fastened to the turntables and acts as the trailer.
Thanks for watching !
@@Priestabload now to tell my brain to accept it haha cheers
😂
Is it just me or was that lead truck crabbing a little bit during the motorway sections?
Yes it was a bit, unfortunately you get 1 chance to set it up straight, if it doesn’t play ball you have to make do until you can stop safely.
Great video- does the auto steering take its direction from the front end similar to a steerable trailer?
No it takes it from the turntable on the rear bogie. As the beam turns, the turn table drives two rams which provide a hydraulic signal to the rear bogie wheels.
The front bogie obviously gets its steering signal from the front draw bar as it normally would.
Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
@@Priestabload awesome- thank you
Shame it be one of the last loads out
For sure Brian was a very sad job this one.
Thanks for watching though
Spot the car driver that's too impatient to wait and drives along the hard sholder
He’s a very important person don’t you know!!
