Check this big Generator out

[93fakesnake]

Found out this big generator was coming though so I thought I would take some pics. Trucks, trailers, and the generator weight 1.5 million pounds. Its going 300 miles and can only go 5 mph



Had to lift the power lines and red lights so it could fit under them

Police Escorts

Here it comes

Had two truck conected to each other in front pulling and two trucks in the rear connected pushing

[Saleen313]

[93fakesnake]

Cool! My dad gave me a Mammoet hat a while back. I always wondered what the company did.

 

[Shifty Powers]

holy shit....

So i'm wondering how a bridge would hold up to that if it had to cross it?

+1!

I'm wondering why they didn't send it by rail? Presumably more efficient, you can have all the diesel locomotive you want and less disruption to traffic patterns. Perhaps it wouldn't fit through a tunnel somewhere though.

Cool pics o.p.! :thumbsup:

Holly shit. Even with all those tires on the trailer, it's still looks way more heavy then they can handle. I'm surprised the concrete didn't start to crack... !

I find it hard something like that could weigh that much.

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

Found a Vid. That thing is huge!

1.9 Million lb generator move by Mammoet through Johnston, SC - AOL Video

 

[wigginwilly00]

I've seen my share of heavy and wide loads but I don't think I've seen anything that big..Damn....

 

[cobralove90]

i feel bad if one of those tires blows hahaha

 

[03cobra#694]

Bet that cost a few bucks to move!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[supercarkiller]

wonder how much that move cost ??

 

[CobraBob]

Yikes, talk about a wide load taking over a road! 1.9 million lbs. 576+- wheels.

I agree about the bridge question. That's 950 short tons!
