Mega Truckers : Heavy Haulage Australia in Bendigo

On Tue 11/11/14, 5 HHA trucks arrived in Bendigo to move a ring gear for a drag line crane to Blackwater, in Queensland. The video shows 4 of the trucks moving the round gear ( spilt into 4 parts ) as they leave Bendigo for their 7 day trip north. The 5'th centre piece left separately. The trucks shown are Big Dog 2 & 6, Vilin 1, and Fat Cab 1. Fri 14/11/14

The rig...the driving...absolutely elegant.

[@DarJakBar]

DRE39 base - 1370W Dragline Blackwater Mine. Nice driving techniques.

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

Great footage!

[@diyoverhauler5432]

I love the way that thing sounds

[@russellking9762]

could move heavy gear...but they didn't have a truck big enough for Johns ego apparently

[@gregallan2842]

I grew up in Waratah St right near the Ordinance Factory. Saw a lot of this sort of thing.

[@toolmana]

Thanks Steve for the share. Bastard of a way out of town though.

[@maxdickinson4206]

[@rolflechner9001]

Interessante Transporte starke Zugmaschinen 👏🙏

[@Rambleclips]

No one doesn't like Australia only the best 🇦🇺

[@jameschapman1072]

Great trucks

[@i8nm3gp]

It's not the load that slows the truck down. It's the aerodynamic co-eficient

[@maxdickinson4206]

[@QRoutback]

[@slimchancetoo]

Anybody notice the guy on the layback BICYCLE take off after they went through the lights.????????????

[@stevie65able]

That caught my eye straight away! Talk about a contrast in size! :)

[@kerrylee4633]

I thought he was drafting.

[@AshChapman777]

Where did the K200 disappear to at the end of the vid?

[@arminius3808]

The k200 my favourite, although I'd probably have to settle for a k100 if I ever buy

[@rishikeyyadav5717]

Missing HHA a lot...

[@curtisharper7042]

What type of transmission are in these trucks?

[@slimchancetoo]

Good to see VicToads on the job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@V8PawelR]

amazing!

[@aaronkira3540]

Awesome looking trucks a lot nicer than the heavy haulage trucks here in New Zealand are they the pilot vehicles with the pink looking lights

[@aussiesailor1]

Those vehicles belong to VicRoads, which is the State Transport Authority

[@mattmatty4670]

Cool thanks. Dig HP

[@milesconley2968]

I love semi trucks

[@timventers742]

Nice gear.Yeh! did everyone think the mining boom would last for ever.over capitilised, have my toys.....blah blah blah.Hope the single operators keep thier chins up.

[@peterruxton3890]

6 min mark: There's that pain in the arse lying down pushbike rider. Why didn't you squash him?

[@haulinclass7478]

Has the mack got a Volvo engine sounds gay

[@dale7238]

Labours government wants these vehicles replaced with battery trucks

[@TheWoodbutcher66]

Impressive stuff. Is HHA still trading?

[@emd645e3c]

+James Campbell Nah, they closed up shop about 6 months back.

[@TheWoodbutcher66]

+James Campbell Many thanks: HHA seemed like a well-run outfit with a boss who took no prisoners! Greetings from Scotland

[@joelbarron658]

It wasn't well run and the owner was a bloke who liked spending money and couldn't manage finances. Very good at moving heavy gear but horrible at running a business. Needed someone to handle the finance/business side.

[@jackthescrapper2304]

Nope they went out of business and such a shame

[@slimchancetoo]

Same as the bloke I work for -- but he only has 3 TK Bedfords and a D-Series Ford. !!!

[@slimchancetoo]

And did anybody notice the almost total lack of interest shown by the good folk of Bendigo ???? Must have seen it all before or else still in bed. !!!!

[@jimcrawford5039]

Looks like very early in the morning, probably sunday.

[@dapto234]

Yeah I was thinking same wheres all the residents out watching this go past ..

[@slimchancetoo]

@@dapto234 Fast asleep, or having a Morning Glory before the kids wake up. And they have probably seen it all before. There is quite a bit of HEAVY ENGINEERING and CASTING DOWN THEREABOUTS. Major Defence contractors abound. Once took a 27 tonne slab of special steel to ADI (Australian Defence Industries) to be converted into an electric motor housing for a submarine - Collins Class. Amazed at what I saw during unloading procedure.
