There was also another wagon traveling in front of them

Is that the one from Down Under?

 

No-way........once saw a picture of a mobile crane in Germany that was soooooooooooooooooooooooo huge....was in FHM bout a year ago.

 

how could it be down under in the top photo there is a vectra and the police and english

 

What actually is it !

 

FG Wilsons outside Belfast build big generators - biggest I have seen so far has covered 4 lanes of motorway and couldn't move at more than 2 MPH. The truck had 60 axles with 8 wheels on each axle.
Biggest thing I have ever seen being transported by road was a complete fuselage of a 767. Absolutely awesome sight

 

I remember when they had to transport the wings and body of the Angel of the North...

I believe that there was a documentry on it - that was pretty impressive !

The Shearer shirt arrived by DHL !

 

Paul the picture is taken about 5 miles from the angel,looks like they move a lot of heavy gear around that area.

 

The biggest engine i have seen/worked on was on board a malaysian warship, it had 20 cylinders, 5 turbo's/intercoolers and was over 60 foot long, and the ship had 2 of these for propulsion

You didn't try and squeeze this under the bonnet of a scoob then?

 

 

ALE = Abnormal Load Engineering. IIRC they're based in the midlands, specialise in moving massively heavy loads. Looks like it's a transformer or something..

 

These were coming out of Teignmouth, Devon in about 1990, up a 2 mile climb. Two pulling and one pushing the transformer. It was brought by ship to the docks, on the trailer, and then moved about 12 miles inland.

 

Saw the channel tunnel mole being delivered through tiny town centre roads at night, think it was bigger, it was by the exibition centre next to the M20, is it still there , any pics about?.

 

Get quite a lot of massive loads going to and from the BP refinery at Grangemouth and Grangemouth docks - how's this for starters?



A recent arrival meant turning a load of roundabouts into straight-abouts

Even the picture is massive!

 

rob this one had two at the front for hills, if you look in front of the bridge the third one is there.
it was a transformer for ABB.
