Allelys Abnormal Load navigating Marston Moretaine 

Why the apostrophe in guys but not in the other plurals?

The roundabout is wider on this side, it's probably been deliberately done for deliveries in the past as there is a wind turbine and incinerator down the road.

Evidently not!😂

Thanks for the feedback, the drone records no audio so the alternative is silence?

@@masekwm shame that.

I agree on the music. If it wasn’t so repetitive, music would be acceptable. Of course we had the option of turning off the sound. I turned my sound down, but still found the repetitiveness unacceptable.

@@55VickyV Thank you for the feedback on the music - it was literally a copy & paste, clearly not liked so will try to find a way to add some audio via personal microphones going forward

@@masekwm the trouble is you cannot watch anything these days without music and worse still singing over the top of dialogue its endemic.

Dunlop info - Boeing 747 tires The aircraft is fitted with two H49x19. 0-22 on the nose wheels and 16 (of the same size) on the main wheels.

Runways are built for million-pound aircraft moving at 180+ mph. Highways are not. If you don't spread out large loads on a highway, you will destroy the highway.

Great question! Especially when you think about the fact the tyres on the main landing gears of a 747 or A380 not only have to sustain the dead weight of the aircraft but also have to handle the downward force of up to around 100ft per second on landing (of course the suspension takes a lot of the pressure off but still!). The first and most obvious answer is they are simply made of stronger stuff and at 90 grand per tyre (which buys you around 300 landings) you'd hope so too. The less obvious answer is less about the pressure exerted on the structure of the machine but more about the pressure being exerted on the surface of the ground. 747s dont land on the Bedford Road or the M1 (as a rule) therefore the roads are not designed to withstand such pressure on a day to day basis. Unlike runways which are vastly stronger. So in short, the sheer amount of tyres on that trailer is as much about protecting the roads as it is protecting the truck.

It is also more about what a road can handle. Runways are really strong concrete, country roads - not so much

It is the Siemens SGT5-4000F gas turbine enroute to the new Millbrook gas power station.

Needs the length to have enough room for the wheels. Such a heavy load needs loads of wheels to spread the load, or else it will cause damage to the road.

Each end has 18 sets of wheels, and I think 8 on each set. So 288 wheels. That's just over 1.2 tonnes per wheel.

You forgot the weight of the trailer. STGO 3 allows 16.5tons per axle line.@@al090187

yes

...actually, no, the axle groups of each section are linked but the steering of each front and rear module combination can be steered hydraulically.

The route would have been cleared by the local authorities and the police, so in that instance the rules don’t apply.

The massive number of wheels helps to spread the load.

The heavy haul network is maintained as a piece of critical infrastructure, the 7.5 ton will be there to keep LGV's from using it as a rat run.

What is the load actually?

​@derekjarman5156 get a life it was a joke

The frame allows the weight to be spread over the wheels, without the frame it is on an HGV and way over weight!

@@masekwm Only 330 tonnes overweight - DVSA would be having wet dreams over an HGV weighing that much

It is the SGT5-4000F gas turbine for the power station in Millbrook. See www.siemens-energy.com/global/en/home/products-services/product/sgt5-4000f.html
