[@petemoore5104]

The plate on te front states, STGO CAT 1, this means that the maximum load cannot exceed 50 000kgs. Counting the wheels on the trailers gives you 64, which you divide into the gross weight of the load and trailer. Basically, not a lot really, at 781kgs. By comparison, a standard tipper, carrying 25 000kg has a footprint of 2667kg The guy in the trainers is a traffic marshall and does nothing but keep a safe working area, so no need for boots. He's the highest paid of the whole crew, at £14p/hr, believe it or not.

In the 60's I was a teenager and I was involved in push pulls. In the end of the 70's or first part of the 80's I had the tail wagging the dog only I was the brain and could wag my own tail via a solenoid valve from a John Deere 95 combine leveling system plumbed into my truck/tractor's power steering with a toggle switch in the cab and hydraulic cylinder's steering the trailer. The power of diesel, oil and air makes my grandpa's herd of horses and mules strapped together seem antiquated. But it is amazing what one can do with what one has available. Now a fire takes out my shop with most of my tools and thieves steal most of my few remaining tool's and County Government say's I have to get rid of my building materials and hauling and loading equipment because of new zoning restrictions.

[@hanshartfiel6394]

Impressive but why don't they do that kind of transport at night to minimise disruption for the rest of us? In Germany that would be done at night.

[@nigelft]

Quite possibly due to a combination of distance need to travel plus speed of travel ... also, given all the tight bends the entire transport system had to negotiate, working in maximum visibility would mostly likely was a major consideration. I have seen very large loads carrying their own floodlights, powered by portable generators, fixed to the actual transport wagon, but that brings it's own problems, not least the additional weight penalties in terms of the floodlights/generators own weight, plus the need to carry extra fuel for them in the support vans; also, working in full daylight eliminates any problems of the crew working in the severe light/dark contrasts as with high-beam floodlights, and so forth. Besides, this was probably pretty well coordinated, with advanced notice of the transport given along the route to the local public along it, with all but the most major of roads closed off to traffic, and the major ones using a 'rolling road block'.

[@kurtmu-b7w]

Perhaps there is no rail connection to the final destination. Just saying.

[@nigelft]

@@kurtmu-b7w Indeed ... the load looks like a high capacity transformer; only but major work sites, like some power stations, and metal works, for example, have their own rail-heads; hence, for any other site, road is the only way, hence why companies like Wynns, (which is perhaps the oldest), ALE, Mammoet, to name but three, use innovative transportation systems to reduce the axle load.

[@nigelft]

@@johnmarlog6933 The transformer itself may 'small' enough to fit within the UK rail gauge, but the trouble is, most job sites something like this doesn't always have a rail-heads, either close to the actual manufacturing plant and/or the installation site. Moving from road to rail to road would very well be a vastly more difficult undertaking, making purely road a much more viable option. Heck, as a commentator above correctly stated, even when the transformer was being designed, transportation would have been a significant factor in its very design, with a minimum of a year planning, and surveying, the prospective route, along the with co-operation of the local constabulary, and the council, with due regard placed on the condition of the roads; any obstacles, like roundabouts; and the infrastructure, like water and gas mains, plus sewer lines, below the surface. My Great Uncle used to work for British Thomson Huston (aka Big, Thick, and Heavy); he started off as a transformer designer, and retired as Group Manager, Coventry Group (including the Rugby Works), roughly when BTH, along with AEI, merged into GEC/Marconi. Even in his time, especially when most goods were transported by rail, and, iirc, pre-Beaching (sp?), Wynns were called on alot to move the larger transformers, since suitible rail-heads were few and far between, and, I am guessing, even then road transportation costs compared to rail may well have been cheaper even then.
