This was a excellent video well done on getting this big Turbine over the section of the Small Bridge with this massive load and I really enjoyed every minute of this video and the Trailer was placed and the Steel Bridge was just amazing to see real pros. Know their own jobs well done to all involved
These heavy hauls are awesome to watch on video...not so much in person in traffic, when you’ve been driving for hours and need to use the bathroom, and you know the next stop is only 20 miles away, and you come around a corner and suddenly you’re 15th in line behind a massive convoy pulling a huge water tank going 2mph up a long hill with no shoulder to pull off onto. We were going slow enough, if I had a bottle in the truck, I would have used it while driving.
I have watched a lot of these heavy haul videos, and I do believe this is the biggest trailer I have ever seen! We got a machine in at work a while back that the largest piece weighed over a million pounds and that trailer wasn't nearly this big. It was a lowboy deck I belive this is a gantry beam type.
At the time I believe this was the largest ever. 1 million pounds load, 1.5 million total weight, or something like that. The news article is no longer available. One of 4 or 5 they moved.
Jarret Hall ....I have seen trailers on the road, with 72 tires, not including the truck. That comes to 18 axles. There are bigger, but this is the largest I have seen in person.

@@timmayer8723 I have no problem with your response: Any reference I made about gods among men was poetic. As a believer, I would not dare be blasphemous! Scripture, however, does say that God made man a little lower than the angels ( gods)!
I know they can adjust the axles up/down on the fly. But, did I see the length of the 'truss' adjust as it went over the bridge? Fascinating! Thankyou for a great video!
Just out of curiosity When the man measured the center of the span for height above road and then again when the first segment was on the bridge. What was the flex of your bridge? Now at 11:00 minutes into the video, what official allowed a semi to cross that bridge? Someone below stated that the bridge was a diagonal. Your vehicle and the semi actually pushed the bridge into an overweight according to federal bridge weight formulas.
The could have used a little sand under those drive wheels that was slipping. I will say one thing for these people they have got in a very small sock and doing a very outstanding job. thanks for a very outstanding video. it was awesome on a wide screen
Steve Huffman There is a stream running diagonally under the road. You can see the bridge railing if you look closely. The bridge plates spanned over the bridge which could not support the weight. They had to do this at every bridge.

more then likely with a small stream that is running under it all that is really supporting that road is a Culvert drain pipe and that much weight would just crush it.
The axles are hydraulic controlled they can keep the load spread evenly or take weight off the load on bridge and leave the difference on solid ground.

This trailer is crossing a temporary bridge spanning a DOT bridge on the road when it crosses it will be disassembled and reassembled at the next crossing
I THINK THAT RAMP PURPOSE IS TO MAKE A BRIDGE OR SO CAN HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE CARGO. THAT RAMP FORM SUPPOSE TO STAY BENT WHAT SO EVER. IT'S A WEIGHT EQUIPMENT.
Rogelio Maza Yes. There’s a stream that runs diagonally under the road there, you can see the railing for the road bridge on the left, it ends at the line pole. The metal plates create a bridge over that, because it wasn’t built to hold so much weight.
All road surfaces are rated and approved by the state. If engineer doesnt think road or bridge will handle the weight then j supor brings thier own bridge and passes over. Really bitchn actually
These guys put up all kinds of barriers to every little loophole that Murphy may exploit. No detail left unscrutinized for the devil truly lives in the details.
@@donmcmannamy3409 bridge was under the span, I was involved in a move like this years ago we had to span bridges and culverts, long trip. Did as many as 12 jumps in a night, worst part was we only had two spans so we got really good really fast
There was probably underground utilities That couldn’t handle the weight that’s why the bridge was deployed. High pressure gas main or high pressure oil air gasoline pipelines
Joseph Valent Jr No. as I mentioned in the comments, there’s a small bridge over a stream. It runs diagonally under the road, you can see where the guardrail turns into the railing on the left hand side.
Looks like they're bridging a Culvert or drain. I'm sure he's wanting to check the drop in the bridge, it's probably engineering to handle the weight. but it's nice to keep something like that in the back of your mind the next time you use that piece.
Hello good evening thank you for being beautiful thank you for being wonderful I hope you have a great day the greatness in you is beautiful.goodnight.

Met Joe great guy.

Turbine $140 million dollars. Shipping and handling charges $12 million dollars.

That load never touched the dot bridge, that’s the purpose of the temporary bridge
Imagine maintenance on this beast.
'Here's a torque wrench, check the lug nuts'-all 560 or so of them...
Good work.....
To say the least... impressive.
I wonder how many months it took to plan..
Great video 👍

That was just a really slo-mo drift. ;-) I wasn't sure if slip or digitization artifact.
It would be nice to see the process of putting the framework together to transport the object you are moving.
Z
how long have you been away from the family and your home 1 year and 8 months took 46 hours to clear a speedbump
I wonder what they need to charge for a move like that.
Rich Eaton an American Express Centurion Card
What does it cost to bring that many axles across the George Washington Bridge?
No idea what that ramp is about. What is the purpose?
What are they doing?

@@johncline5502 all the big haulers do the same
Whoooooh That's a big piece of cheese ! !
Or it could be a 5 nanometer sized chunk of a neutron star.
Was that a scale ?????????
So you take all that weight and put it on two 8 foot sections of pavement ?
Yes , and ?
better then a 4 ft section that has a metal Culvert under it which would crush like a soda can
What's the purpose of that ramp.

Went right by me. What was the weight of the turbine? What about the entire hauler?
Derek Jacobs I heard that the entire rig and load was over 1,000,000 lbs. It's interesting because I haven't found a news story about it yet.
I've heard there are few more left to go through. I can't confirm.
Derek Jacobs I've heard both 4 and 5 more, about 8 days or so between them, with the first two the largest.
1.5 million lbs. and the generators are 1 million. Finally found something: www.granby-ct.gov/Public_Documents/granbyct_bboard/025345E4-000F8513
Wow
Are they weighing it?
Seems to me by driving over the temporary bridge they concentrate the weight on both ends instead of spreading out over all those axles.
Merlin Just Yes, but apparently even spread among the axles it was too heavy fur the bridge.
The axles are hydraulic controlled they can keep the load spread evenly or take weight off the load on bridge and leave the difference on solid ground.
(" Hey, AAA, can ya send someone out to change a tire? Or ten? Or......?) Interesting lead rig - never saw one like that before.. Love the 8X8 pusher.. Oshkosh, I'm guessig..
Why that yellow bridge for what
What is the idea of the yellow platform for load and trailer to go over
Dale Smith either a bridge span or a culvert to displace the weight of the load.

I was Surprised to see the M-1070 as the pusher Truck.
Why? Them derrys got some crazy power.
This trailer is crossing a temporary bridge spanning a DOT bridge on the road when it crosses it will be disassembled and reassembled at the next crossing
What is underground, That warranted such a speed bump?!?
Gary Clouse probably determined by road engineers to be a weak area in the road bed.
A small river.
Stream that flows through a Culvert no real bridge support
Awesome watched it come by my house ...... it was something to see ......🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Wow I didn't know that
bridge is good chance just a culvert acting like a bridge
Is power supplied to all of those wheels ? If so, how ?
Hydraulics. Trailer should be able to keep load level on an incline also.
@@michaelchisling, you are saying that hydraulics powers the rotation of each wheel or the rotation of each axle ?
@@joemag6032 I don't remember. Been a few years. But those articulated trailers are pretty awesome.
@@michaelchisling, OK, thanks for the info .
Looked like generators on the ends so probably had electric motors on at least some of them.
Shoulda made a hyperlapse video... lol
Hey where’s Murphy or did he retire
These guys put up all kinds of barriers to every little loophole that Murphy may exploit. No detail left unscrutinized for the devil truly lives in the details.
Traction is interesting...it must eat those tires fast
Why did they have to go over the span bridge and not just drive on the pavement
Would have collapsed the bridge,when you add the arch you put the weight on solid ground
@@geoffsimons1235 the only bridge I saw was the span bridge on solid ground pavement not a bridge over a bridge.
@@donmcmannamy3409 bridge was under the span, I was involved in a move like this years ago we had to span bridges and culverts, long trip. Did as many as 12 jumps in a night, worst part was we only had two spans so we got really good really fast

Seems to me it would be cheaper to assemble most of it on site. "If at all Possible"
is that a m1070 !?!?!
That's a lot of wheels.
It's a generator, not a turbine
bet tony beets wished he had that 8 wheel monster at his mine site
You would think it would be easier to find a way to make that generator in a few pieces rather than go through all that LOL
Why don't you get on that and let us know how it works out.
Man, if this ain’t slow and boring to watch. I fast forward.
State-of-the-art equipment, and some guys eyeballing a tape measure!

There are gods among men!!! And yet, God made man a little lower ( less powerful ) than the gods ( angels )!!!
Light the tires up on the truck and see how much smoke you get out of them.☺😀😃🤗😆😇😂😅😋🙂😉😊😁😏
this one has eight 8 tires per axle a lot of tires
Would you like to purchase a set of tires for this trailer? They are 10 or 12 ply tires because they don't flex any.
FYI, watch at 1.5 speed.
