Was there, standing on the roadside after getting a call from a buddy at the fab shop. Not the first time I've managed to be on hand for one of those moves, either there or on 99th St. just N of Whitemud. Most of the 99th St. loads were headed up to Ft. Mac. Once upon a time, all the trucks would have been from Premay. Some other people probably remember when they were Alberta's own heavy-haul outfit. There's a video of one Premay move kicking around here somewhere. The loads just keep getting larger. Mammoet certainly have an enormous amount of equipment and plenty of experience to get the job done, as well as operating in many countries. But once upon a time we did these types of moves using Alberta-based contractors, and they were also impressive to see at work.

The number of places in North America where you can build something like this you can put on one hand. If you go and read the book on constructing the Mount Palomar 200 inch telescope, there's a section that they did just on the Horseshoe Mount built by GM that weighed approximately 1.2 million pounds and was so large that they could not have it entirely inside and one arm of the Horseshoe had to be outside the storage area undercover. And they still managed to machine it to tolerance of two 100s of an inch edge to edge

A friend who worked in the electrical controls business gave me an inside tour of a refinery in Burnaby when it was in shutdown. Inside a cracking Tower was a second most interesting thing I saw there. The most interesting though was this Platinum mesh screen that they used for Catalyst in some of the reactions. Judging by looking feel alone I would have assumed it was a very fine silvery silk material, this stuff was apparently worth about $20,000 per square meter and this was back in the 90s

I’d love to hear the technical reason why that thing couldn’t have been made in pieces and assembled on site. It just seems insane to have to move such a large single piece of anything that size so far that you need that many tractors and trailers to move it. Also.... every single person involved in moving that thing is a badass!!! From the drivers to the spotter to the riggers, planners, engineers....

Somebody needs to make a video about how they manage a load like that, with multiple trucks pulling and pushing - especially the pushers. Are the drivers controlling the power in the conventional way or is there some kind of automated synchronizing system. One driver at the back pushing too hard could make a real mess of it. Are all the drivers steering or are all but the lead driver just trailing?
@Mr_Smarty_Pants5 жыл бұрын
Each of the six trucks, 2 pulling and 4 pushing have drivers controlling them in the normal sense. Each trailer has someone riding and controlling the steering of each trailer. All trucks and trailers have a number...lets say the lead pull truck is 'No 1'...maybe the right front push truck is 'No 4' etc etc...everyone has a 2 way radio and there will be a "Truck Foreman' controlling and guiding all 6 trucks over the radio as he views the job externally from the road. Of course the application of power and steering by pull trucks and push trucks has to be strictly coordinated...over the radio the ' Foreman' might issue commands regarding gearing and throttle position and also feedback from drivers re rpm as an indication if the truck is managing the load for a given gear selection and throttle setting. Examples "all trucks in 3rd gear?...'truck 1 and 2 holding 1600rpm?'...."all push trucks wideopen in 3rd?...etc etc
