Oversize load!

[Ken Talbot]

Now this what I call an oversize load.

[foreda]

Turbine

That's just one part of the engine from what I can tell!

That is a big one by any standard, don't mind the blonde either

Blonde

That is a big one by any standard, don't mind the blonde either

We don't think about girls here until at least 6:00 am. HEHE

Oh,so you like pigtails eh?
What's that all a boot?

[trbig]

We don't think about girls here until at least 6:00 am.

So what time the day before do you STOP thinking about them? Kind of a 24 hr thing here...

And yeah... good looking blonde, nice body.. and little kid pigtails. lol.

trbig, not having any hair, wouldn't realize that hair that length can be a real PITA when outside having it blowing in her eyes... and it isn't long enough for anything but pigtails... ya fashionista

Wasn't this thread originally about the turbine?
although, I do understand the divergence...
lol

Hmmm...I think I counted 128 tires on the trailer....willl have to look at the clip again to count the tires on the tractor.

Were they moving this up to the dam?

Blonde? What blonde? (hehehe)

[Ken Talbot]

Yes, Jerry, this is the turbine unit for the Unit 5 installation at the Revelstoke Dam. Apparently this is the largest load ever moved on a BC highway. The turbine was built in Brazil and came here in one piece.

We, of a certain age,

can only look and hope, when it comes to Blondes like that.
Once upon atime 35 or so years ago when I was a Deputy Shf. in Wisconsin, we had a huge piece of machinery coming east on I-94, from Mpls, Mn. We were the first county in WI. they went through. They had two tractors side by side in the front, none in the back. At one point, they thought the overpass might be just to close to call, so they went up the off ramp and down the on ramp, and on their merry way. At 3:00am. It was fun watching the two tractors working in tandem.

128 tires on the load, 10 per truck!! And look at the load tires, some of them are DOWN! you KNOW that is a LOT of weight!!!

[Gator]

Did anybody notice...

that the light turned 'green' right before the truck started moving?
about 40ish seconds in...

[cueball]

Can pass on pigtails (although they could be handy to hang onto), more interested in the way her legs go ALL the way up and then get cheeky

That thing is a monster!! I wonder how hot those tire are? How far was the haul? That had to be a logistics nightmare.

Back in the late 70's there was a huge superconductor magnet moved through Lodi to Lawrence Livermore Lab. Anyone in the area then remember?

The trailer was built so that it could travel the mountain roads. If I remember correctly it was built in Utah. It had a similar number of wheels, 120 or so, but they were about a tire width apart. It was also built so that it could be set on the ground when it was not moving.

They stopped for the night here and left after the commute the next morning. The pavement where they set the trailer down was imprinted about 1-1/2 inches deep, along with an imprint of every tire when they picked it up off the ground.

The driver of the tractor said it would be just about used up by the time it was finished with the haul. As low a gear as he was using he said it took about all it had to get that load around.
