As a person that has nothing to do with heavy equipment, that was a thing of beauty. Add a step by step audio and it could be marketed as a training video. Very cool.

That sure seems complicated to me, but I guess your transport regulations and axle weight laws make it all necessary. Great video, and thanks for posting it. Looks like we get away with an easier time over here in Australia. That thing must be expensive.
@gangesexcavating13 жыл бұрын
really good lowbed video. Really enjoy these, have a lot of experience on papas lowbed, if you`re good on Mechanical detach necks, then the rest is details. Haul more payload than a hydraulic neck too. You guys dont have BC Ferries out there lucky you. when tide changes happen thats when hydrualic necks pay off. a hydraulic neck will pick up to desired height and drive on. Mechanical , you are parked until tide change. It`s all trade offs.

Hi vantagetes, Wow, that is one hell of a trailer. And it is not until you see these huge earth mover on normal roads the size can be judged. On site everything is huge. And on site a Cat will push 3-4 of these giants! Take care and thank you for uploading. mrbluenun

@vantagetes I agree with you and I will thumbs-up that comment. Another buddy of mine is Royalhighlander, now hes got some good Mammoet gas compressor hauling videos in Nisku, THAT IS TRUCKING, lol However short of Hinton, Edson, RockyMtnHouse, etc etc etc its all flatland in Alberta, not like BC, flat ground is exponentially easier trucking situation. Not taking away one bit what you said though. I agree

How in the hell did you come close to getting a 657 scraper legal on a 2+2+2. I have 11, 12 and 13 axles trailers and only the 13 axle can legal a 657 and we get 70 a tridem.

@vantagetes ehhhh, yes and no, theres a bit of chest thumping in that statement there Jason, but I wont argue, as I am guilty of that myself. You should see the equipment used in the coastal logging on Vancouver Island where I live. Moving a 7280C Cypress grapple yarder on a 250 ton 16 wheel tandem axle lowbed with 3 Pacific off highway trucks, --does that qualify for getting shit done -

@DL55driver How the roads are setup has a lot to do with it too, the government dictates how tight the turn radius in roads are which in turn changes how the trailers are setup. These rigs are great for cities and some of the longer similar setups use a type of hydraulic assist rear steering. The rear of the trailer follows the same line as the rear tractor tires!!!
@vantagetes13 жыл бұрын
