Rail doesn't make a car that I know of that can distribute that weight enough to handle it.
Mammoet has moved a lot of stuff for us over the years.
Check this big Generator out

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I had seen some big generators coming thru going to the coal mines but never that big. WOW!!!
Impressive.
We had something similar here.
They were installing 2 Turbines at a new power plant in town. They barged them up the CT river and then convoyed them about 20 miles using similar equipment. Barnhardt was the rigging company hired. They were installed and the bottom fell out of the budget the company went bankrupt and they auctioned the turbines off to Puerto Rico...they had to to do the whole thing over again

So it has to go 300 miles and is traveling 5mph on a public road?
That would suck if it tipped over haha especially if it was on a busy road like in the pics. I don't think they would be able to get it back up!
How does it turn????????
thats a ton of tires an wheels
All the tires on the trailers are steerable.
That's is a impressive haul:rockon: The four drivers really need to be on the ball to keep things moving.
I find it impressive that you are capable of weighing an object through a digital picture.
that was parked right down the street from my house about two weeks ago
very cool. we had one similiar here in ct. it came from england by barge,up ct river,then by road to mass. i had to raise the wires on its designated route,so it could pass thru our work area without getting hung up. it only traveled at 5mph,but also doesnt stop once its going
Same thing happened here in PA a couple months ago...TMI nuclear power plant had to replace some generators, and it took them weeks to move the things through Amish country....one big cluster f&*k
i bet those truck drivers were racking up a nice paycheck @ 5mph
Thats has to be really difficult to drive
unless they are paid by the mile:lol1::lol1::lol1:
j/k
but yeah they make good money im sure:beer:
Interesting. You'd still think that would be the more efficient way to go. You'd kinda figure that if there's a market moving this stuff in trucking than the rail companies would design and build a car w/ similar capacities.
