Allelys Abnormal Load navigating Marston Moretaine

- This was the second "large piece of equipment" being transported to the new Millbrook Power Station by Allelys.
The 50m-long (164ft) and weighing 350-tonne piece of equipment caused delays on the M25 and the M1 after it overran. The 79 mile journey taking nearly 22 hours! The truck was escorted by the police along the motorway and through the small town towards the construction site.
I admire the drivers and bogey operators and all persons involved well done
Beautiful drone camera work. Superb.
Shows everything very well.
Totally amazing work guy's, i love watching train truckers on telly fascinating what gets moved and has too at times when there is little traffic you would never get that load out of most city centers or industrial estates with out hours of route planning checks to road surfaces. I bet that wound up many impatient drivers they should admire the skills used to move these loads❤
Why the apostrophe in guys but not in the other plurals?
Great driving and great video but you never saw the Romans put a roundabout in!
The engineering is in sane nice meeting you earlier 😊
Used to see this kind of thing in Loughborough from time to time when Morris cranes were still in business.
Brilliant driving…… well done
A brilliant capture from the drone ,,The best company doing it ..We had 3 massive transformers come thro Ipswich a few months ago ,that was awsome
That was very moving.
You can see why I was always late for morning assembly when Dad did the school run....
Imagine your first day on the job as a wagon driver... "Yeah, we want you to make a small delivery.."
Nice catch.
Does the leading tractor unit control the speed of the pushing unit, or does he just use his judgment for a pushing speed?
How on earth would this get around any sharper turns than that or smaller roundabouts???
I'd love to see the bill for this transfer. How many digits to the left of the decimal? Magnificent drone work.
Good apart from the totally unnecessary music
Thanks for the feedback, the drone records no audio so the alternative is silence?
@@masekwm shame that.
I agree on the music. If it wasn’t so repetitive, music would be acceptable. Of course we had the option of turning off the sound. I turned my sound down, but still found the repetitiveness unacceptable.
@@55VickyV Thank you for the feedback on the music - it was literally a copy & paste, clearly not liked so will try to find a way to add some audio via personal microphones going forward
@@masekwm the trouble is you cannot watch anything these days without music and worse still singing over the top of dialogue its endemic.
Well done boys geart job your the best love it for get the 7.5 ton weight 😅
Wouldn’t it have been easier to go on the wrong side of the roundabout?
The roundabout is wider on this side, it's probably been deliberately done for deliveries in the past as there is a wind turbine and incinerator down the road.
Evidently not!😂
Teamwork
Makes you wonder how a 300 ton fully loaded 747 can land on a fraction of that number of tyres
Dunlop info - Boeing 747 tires
The aircraft is fitted with two H49x19. 0-22 on the nose wheels and 16 (of the same size) on the main wheels.
Runways are built for million-pound aircraft moving at 180+ mph. Highways are not. If you don't spread out large loads on a highway, you will destroy the highway.
Great question!
Especially when you think about the fact the tyres on the main landing gears of a 747 or A380 not only have to sustain the dead weight of the aircraft but also have to handle the downward force of up to around 100ft per second on landing (of course the suspension takes a lot of the pressure off but still!).
The first and most obvious answer is they are simply made of stronger stuff and at 90 grand per tyre (which buys you around 300 landings) you'd hope so too.
The less obvious answer is less about the pressure exerted on the structure of the machine but more about the pressure being exerted on the surface of the ground. 747s dont land on the Bedford Road or the M1 (as a rule) therefore the roads are not designed to withstand such pressure on a day to day basis. Unlike runways which are vastly stronger.
So in short, the sheer amount of tyres on that trailer is as much about protecting the roads as it is protecting the truck.
It is also more about what a road can handle. Runways are really strong concrete, country roads - not so much
Grate capture this not something you see in a daily
The divers mustbe thinking i hate roundabouts when this plan was put forward
Total disregard for the 7.5 ton weight limit !
The route would have been cleared by the local authorities and the police, so in that instance the rules don’t apply.
The massive number of wheels helps to spread the load.
The heavy haul network is maintained as a piece of critical infrastructure, the 7.5 ton will be there to keep LGV's from using it as a rat run.
What is the load actually?
@derekjarman5156 get a life it was a joke
Do each of the axel sets on those trailers steer independently?
yes
...actually, no, the axle groups of each section are linked but the steering of each front and rear module combination can be steered hydraulically.
its big, its heavy, but what is it?
It is the Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbine enroute to the new Millbrook gas power station.
Wonder why they needed such a long vehicle? surely the frame around that white thing could have been much shorter!
Needs the length to have enough room for the wheels. Such a heavy load needs loads of wheels to spread the load, or else it will cause damage to the road.
Each end has 18 sets of wheels, and I think 8 on each set. So 288 wheels. That's just over 1.2 tonnes per wheel.
You forgot the weight of the trailer. STGO 3 allows 16.5tons per axle line.@@al090187
Surely it would have been easier (and quicker) to transport - without the huge red 'frame' surrounding it.
The frame allows the weight to be spread over the wheels, without the frame it is on an HGV and way over weight!
@@masekwm Only 330 tonnes overweight - DVSA would be having wet dreams over an HGV weighing that much
I thought I hated traffic circles...!!
What were they shifting
It is the SGT5-4000F gas turbine for the power station in Millbrook. See www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/products-services/product/sgt5-4000f.html
why not the other way on top? look to me streighter
Water cooled clutches anyone?
That came out of tilbury docks ,so y they came that way
Before AI took over this could have been moved in CKD ( Completely Knocked Down) and ably put together on site.
