Big Loads

[Xtreme]

Yeah, we can move that for you...

[Chenz]

How do they sync the two trucks so they pull at the same time?

are you ready mate?
yeah mate!
go!

[alien]

I'd like to know what sort of weight the blocks on each truck used to maintain drive traction are.

[Judo]

What version do you think they're running?

Photoshop I mean.

[KarlB]

This may be heavier:

... because sometimes small loads are very heavy:

I worked on some very big loads (Land to sea to land again) but that takes the cake, the plait, all the cutlery and the table as well.

Perhaps the load should of been placed over the axels :D

Perhaps the load should of been placed over the axels :DThen the single drive may not have had sufficient traction to pull the load on the gravel road.

Note. The load was placed just forward of the trailer axle group.

He would only have needed a Land Rover to give him a tow then instead of breaking his trailer. ;)

Do people wonder about the lack of bogey drives in some of these places? I know that traction control on modern trucks can be very flexible (and increase payload) but a single drive with TC will never be better than a bogey drive with cross locks where there's poor surface traction.

Here's another decent size load, with plenty of support, on the move that I wouldn't like to stuck behind.

[Grappler]

May not be the biggest load - but its on my Defender

[Lotz-A-Landies]

And it didn't break the tray. Must be stronger than that tri-axle semi! :o

[schuy1]

Just beware of crosswinds and a headwind!:D

[jimr1]

I would think they jack them up , them reverse the trailers under , but I don't know . It would be good to see how they get them up ? Without damaging them , be the same getting It off !!..Jim..:)

I think it may have been loaded over the first axel it looks like a broken strap or something hanging off the trailer (I could be wrong) but looking at the lack of restraints on the load I would guess its broken free when the trailer caved in.

Just a load of beer:

If there was ever a case where chain restraints should have been used it's that load.

[simmo]

Should have stuck with light beer :)

I reckon what you think are broken straps are actually clearance lights, there are four along the length of the trailer.

[Tote]

And a local one......

Moved 800 metres closer to the highway bypass in Goulburn. Only weighs 97 tons though.

If they were ratchets they would be hanging vertically.

Think you could be right.
