Sergei, you singing in Russian while driving down the middle of a bridge into the USA and waving at construction workers may just be the best moment ever. Great video!
when I load those I use some old tires at the bigining of the trailer so the tracks don't damage the lil ramps and also gives you some traction when beginning to load the machine
what a great job pulling into the scales...your years of experience are really showing. I really enjoy Heavy Haul TV. I like the fact that you allow all comments. I follow this cute couple operating as team drivers and if you post any comment they don't like, even the mildest criticism of any kind.....poof it's gone. They are also really sensitive about their wealth. They run their butts off, so I said they were obviously in the 6 figure club...a reasonable assumption...poof, comment gone. You'll be happy to know that your channel trounces theirs in viewership. You run an interesting program, my compliments to the Director
Some nice skillful driving, especially getting onto the scales. Your videos are always extremely interesting but what amazes me is your technical knowledge. I am ashamed to say that, even though I was a professional tour coach driver and worked for a company, apart from knowing the basics about the coach, I had no technical savvy at all. We were not allowed to do anything apart from our daily checks - oil, water, lights etc, but everything else was under control of the engineers. Best wishes from Ireland. Mike
Built like a Mack truck ! Cool video. Greetings from the town that had the largest Mack plant in the world: Allentown PA trucks built at plant 5C. Now made in Macungie PA and Hagerstown, MD, USA
Hi there uncle Serg. I noticed you didn't like what the tracks of the machine did to your trailer. Eventually the edges of the ramps will be bent over and out of sorts. I put a couple strips of 3/4" or 5/8" steel straps on the top of the ramps. Weld them on both inside edge and outside edges. It doesn't affect the structure integrity of the ramps just makes them stronger and last longer.Thats were all the stress and total down pressure from the machine is when loading and off loading. Great video as always.
The cute team driving couple spent 15 minutes droning on about California's new plastic bag law in their last Vlog. It has 890 views and they've sent 25 comments into oblivion for criticism. Heavy Haul uploads garner nearly 10K views consistently. It pays to not be boring
I should be mandatory law!!! When you are fortunate enough to be witness to Uncle Sergei and heavy-haul-tv, immediately exit your humbled vehicle and bow down or kowtow comrade!!! :)
At the start of the vid I thought you were joking about the loader at first with how you were standing and saying how it looks smaller then it is then I saw it being loaded and wow it is decently big. Keep up the good work
i reckon a wee bit more western... Donegal?? because of the "like".??...a Ward and Burke machine,they're from Ireland,but have a lot of plant in Canada..
Серёга, песня про деньги порадовала)))) смотрю твой канал уже пол года, по английски понимаю на уровне первоклашки. Надеюсь погружение в твою англ. речь поможет в изучении языка. Сам таскаю негабариты, живу в Казани. Всех благ и удачи на дорогах!!!!
Sergei dose D.O.T ever jump your case about you pusher axle controls being on your dash rather then being in your side box or out side your truck. The ideal fifth wheel height for low boys is right around 52 inches you can stop by a trailer dealer and have them shim your fifth wheel. 4.10 rears ant bad and you have 22.5 your over all axle ratio should be around 4.22. I ran 4.11 on tall rubber but I had a high HP cat 55k on truck and 62 on wagon I'd would have moved the load forward 2 ft and flipped the axle up save on fuel and tire ware
Catfish O'Hanlon not quite sure where he is or where he is going but the southern US uses pretty strict bridge laws, if he were in Michigan or something he could have done it with 7 axles. To move a PC 490 it takes 9 or 10 in the south, even though it can be done on a 55 ton trailer because it's just above 100k
Rogers from Canada: same account; same data plan; they charge 5 bucks a day for US up to maximum of 50 a month; no need to change phone numbers, SIMs .... I like it...
why are there low profile tires on the pusher axle and it does look like the airbags are on the limit looks like the pusher needs to dropped a bit more off the frame
It's hard to explain to somebody who did grow up in Russia. But back before WW2 - right after Communists seized the power - , there was a lot of construction going on in USSR (Russia) and young Communist members were urged to quit everything and travel to extremely remote areas to build power lines, railroads, gas lines etc. etc. So, a big propaganda machine was created and romantic songs were a part of that. One famous song was about 'driving/travelling to see the fog (trees, birds)..." but sarcastic types quickly came up with alternative text used with the same music ;) Where the original song read, 'I am travelling to see the fog", the alternative version read, "I'm Travelling to See the Money, Only Fools Travel to See the Fog." ;)
Because often shippers are not sure about the EXACT weight... I was 2.700 LB over 60K on the trailer. Got stopped at a scale in Ohio ... they said I was okay and let me go ... The outcome might have been different if I showed up with just 7 axles.
Sergei Dratchev oh. Since you do cross country hauling in Canada and the US, how much weight are you allowed per axle? At the company I work for, our biggest excavator weighs around 65,000 lbs. When we move it, we have to use our 55 ton lowboy and we have to get permits. We only have tandem axle trucks without lift/pusher axles so when we are hauling it, we have the weight on 6 axles. It might also be different for you since you travel far distances. The farthest we go with it from our shop is about 15 miles all the way around.
all jurisdictions are different, but normally you get 52K LB for the 3 axles on the truck (12 + 40) and 60K Lb for the tridem on the trailer. That's gross weight ... So, 12+40+60 is 112,000 LB. Then you deduct your empty weight (truck and trailer) and what remains is the maximum PAY LOAD you can have. In case of your 65K excavator, 6 axles would be enough, and you could have moved that machine with a 35 or 40 ton trailer.
@@HHTV60 thanks for replying uncle Sergei, I’m making my way back through your videos. I go back a year then watch till I’m caught up then repeat, I suspect I have a lot to catch up on, being bed bound at the moment has it’s advantages Love you
Electrotechnology&GeneralEngineeringStudents I could do TONS but it's an ambiguous term here: imperial or metric? you have to specify each time. most people think a ton is 2000 on (imperial ton). pounds are simpler.
Did you lose your driving gloves? If someone that watches your videos buys this rig and he/she shouldn't be able to come back at you and say that you did not mention all the negatives about the truck.
