Vestas Wind Turbine Blade transportation 

They do pay us well but it is definitely a fun job.

@unknown anonymous ??

@@dudals1001 I was hauling them in Texas contracted to Vestas.

thank you for your labour to supply us with sustainable energy and help stop global heating. bless you

1.25 cr

I may be wrong, but I believe they close all road ways where the truck has to travel through.

Or school

no one will believe you😂

@@datboishrek6662 not here, they drive late at night when the roads are mostly empty, been stuck waiting for one to turn.. Fun to watch lol

@@AnythingGasoline oh shit...thanks for the info. 😂😂

Hi

😢😮😅😊

Did you spot that the first set of wheels on the back were raised, I wonder why?

@@bridgendesar I'm not a lorry driver but used to work at a place that had a lot around and I believe it's simply that if they need to carry a lot of wieght they put them down, if they are carrying a lighter load they lift them so it's less road friction and less pointless wear and tear on tires and wheels etc that don't needed to be used. You see it on normal lorries when they are empty etc.

Se não fosse esse vídeo, jamais saberia da existência desses caminhões evoluidos. Brasil atrasado é pouco.

The guy behind (Steerman)does the steering on the trailer axles. I haul these in Texas for the same company but this is a short one. We are hauling 67 and 72 meter blades here.

@@SouthTexasGhostRider I think in this particular case the driver does the steering, but he takes feedback from the man behind. Although the blades in Texas may be longer I suspect the roads are straighter. In order to get this project completed several km of road had to be constructed at a cost of over £3 million. The trailers are adjustable length, and in this case if you watch the clearance over the bridge railings also had to be taken into account, so I think the support for the blade was raised. The police had to be notified in advance, and roads might also have been closed.

@@Dave-nm8uk Agreed. That blade looks much shorter than what we haul. I was usually pulling 67 meter to 72 meter blades.

@@SouthTexasGhostRider How is the rear steering controlled? Is it electric motors that rotate the steering?

@@gloverelaxis It's a hydraulic steering system run by a 22hp Pony motor.

lmfao yea

WORTH IT 🤣

I was checking that out myself. Really neat. Came here to see how it's *supposed* to be done after seeing that video from Texas of a blade on a semi getting hit by a train. (If you've not seen it yet, the driver seemingly got stuck on the tracks while trying to make a tight turn and cross the tracks simultaneously. I'd wager that the spotter is now looking for a new employer...)

Dont know. You want to carry the next one?

Hard to say, but given the money they pay for them, it’s not a concern to the driver. He’s more than covering that expense, I promise you.

Nowhere near the amount the turbine is most likely displace in co2 per ton.

Huh?

Vestas currently has both Blade and Turbine manufactoring in China, making transport to the Chinese market easier.

Of course

Balloaks it’s not. When the blades go bad. Which they will. They are dumped in a landfill. The material is basically fiber glass

Stargazer-auto What? Who told you they go to landfill?? They are used to manufacture cement!!!
