Utah's largest truck load making the turn in Blanding Utah 

Would you want something that big doin 90 through a school zone cause I know I wouldn’t. Them Amazon drivers are crazy

That Was Amazon!!

No Amazon is to slow, it's took these guys a week just to make this one turn

I think the Amazon delivery trucks might have a...slight (???) disadvantage moving that load. Delays would definitely be a possibility. 😅🤣😂🤓

👏🤣👍

Lol

Oh I'm sure you can get out of your mind high on meth if you want.. It seems like it's everywhere.

So true. I am not sure if we make transformers this big in the US or Transformers at all. I know that we can.

Thank you for answering that. I started counting push trucks, and blew my mind

That is beyond belief what a professional team!

That's definitely a Big Load. Here in far Northern California, east of Hornbrook, some 10+ years ago, Pacific Power had a 495 ton transformer moved to a sub-station location at Copco Lake, a man-made reservoir...And now, the dam/s at Copco and Irongate are slated to be removed.....starting in 2023.....It will be that largest dam/s removal ever done in the USA....Klamath River is the much discussed subject. Several American Indian tribes have gotten that 4 dam removal going. They have rights to the salmon that travel up the Klamath River. The dams have prevented the annual migration, and even the salmon fishing near the coast is suffering. The tribal fishing was a big issue even when the dam/s were first being planned. The moving of that was about as big a load as this one in the video. 25-30 miles around winding, poorly paved asphalt and dirt roads. My brother lived there at the time, said it took about 2 weeks to get the transformer in there...some days it didn't even go a mile. he sent me some pics...3 trucks pulling, 3 pushing... I'm wondering if Pacific Power had thought about that $$$ before replacing 3 single-phase transformers with the 'new' 3 phase unit...but hey, no big loss, Pacific Power is owned by Warren Buffett...Berkshire Hathaway... The power generated never even paid for the dams, and barely broke even at the best.

Lol

It's so amazing what they can move. This was so much fun to watch. They are very good at what they do.

yep thats us

J L this load was rigged and the transporter designed the way it was to spread the almost 2 million pound load to be able to clear bridges and streets with low weight limits. This is by far not the biggest transporter that has hauled a load, I’ve been a part of a haul that was much bigger even though the weight was less due to wear it was going through. Without set ups like this people wouldn’t get power for every day use at home.

Laugh watching those electric things try and do this.

Yes if somebody messes up there will be very limited backing ability if any

Some of those guys are operating the self-powered steering axles by radio control.

@@dougankrum3328 cool, thanks for the info.

It must have went North or out to the east because we never seen it after the second one was delivered.

@@toyotacrawler84 I have Hired IRH for many jobs and have seen the trailer used here, It gets broken down into sections and transported from there when done.

No, they dig a hole and bury it.

That's just what they needed in town. They had a few more they can add for hills and a large military truck for braking.

They told us that it was 1.8 million lbs. it was cool to see.

The heavier of the two main sections of the phase shifting transformer was about 380 tons. The combined weight of the unit, trailer, and tow and push vehicles set state records for over road weight permits in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah. You can see more detailed videos about the move from China to Utah here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sSf8fG-UWrs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DCJLe6FZP68.html

Actually the units were delivered to a Rocky Mountain Power Substation in Monticello, Utah. There is a new wind farm in the region, but this was for the substation.

I saw the UTC video and from start of building in China to install in Utah was around 3 years. Started in 2012 and hooked up in 2015.

Touché

Lol... Well, I'm almost positive they didn't book this off some loadboard...smh. Pretty sure the manufacturer as well as the end user sourced a carrier, long before this thing was even built, in order for them to get the route planning and permit process, underway. Not to mention Intermountain is the GO TO carrier for this type of weight in 10 of the 11 Western States. They know what they're doing.

Exactly, drug???

I believe the front pusher is a Mack M that's had the hood and grill replaced. Everything else is various flavors of Kenworth (T800Ws and one C500).

It was an epic pizza though!

😂😂

Quite a few guys walking along with radio-control transmitters to 'steer' the self-powered axle units.

At times they had slopes and large hills to navigate.

They are just making a sharp turn and the load is very long and wide

This was just info given to me by the driver and what the permits were for.. I think it was including the truck in the front and the 5 trucks hooked to the back and one of them was a very large 6x6 military semi that is used for braking.

They put it on the train as far as Gallup New Mexico(end of tracks our way). Then This rig for the rest of the trip.

Probably couldn't make the corner with the tags down

Not quite sure but it was amazing to watch. That's why they make the big bucks!

You want the truth? THEY COMMUNICATE, with each other. CB radio or two way. They talk about rpm's, speed, hills, up and down, etc... Definitely different from bumping a dock.

They have 4 ton concrete blocks for traction.

@@toyotacrawler84 Gracias

nightmare😂

The trailer weighed more than the load

It was a transformer for a sub station that was built in Monticello Utah for a windmill farm. It's the gray part in the middle of the trailer.

They definitely aren't the answer. Makes some people happy though.

ok trumptard

Saw a convoy 2years back , taking something up to fort McMurray , truck in front of me waiting at train crossing had 24 tires under the load . Took a while to figure out what the load was , it was the radiator

Just what my ex wife needs to get out of bed.

It all depends on what they are dealing with. They cam move the from the back to the front or opposite to go up or down hills. They also have a massive ex military truck that is built for breaking only and is added at the top of the hills. It had like 4 ton concrete block on the back of it for traction. It was crazy.
