I love seeing those push and pull videos of the heavy haulage trucks.
Even though this is only a pull pull load.

If you love seeing heavy loads move I should hunt out, digitise and post the video we made for the old power corp down here when they were moving the dredger back in the mid 80's, problem is the footage is 4 hours long and the footage in archive only covers the bit where they crossed the 4 lanes of the Princes Highway.

Would be good to see, there is always big shit being sent up the Valley up here. Never a shortage plus I have seen a few massive transformers being moved.
^ Love it, funny as.
Thats awesome, the guy reminds me of the dad in American Pie.

We don't get so much these days because the power stations are pretty much built (and "coal-fired" is a dirty word so we aren't allowed to make more) but back in the days my old man used to do a lot of filming and the dredger moving was just one of the things. The whole trip took something like 12 days, it's amazing to see yet some how bloody boring at the same time given the speed it all takes place at.

Any idea on weight ?

Nah I'd have to go hunting for that kind of stuff, I'm fairly sure the one we filmed on the move was the old No14 which is currently on display near bullshit castle in Morwell.
Not as big as some of the dredgers in the mines in QLD etc but they don't often move them 22ks in one hit either. The bridge you can see under the bucket is the Princes Highway, left to Melbourne and right to your place (eventually)
Edit: shit that's a big pic, I should have stolen it, resized it and added it to my collection

Oh I thought you meant a dredger for rivers.
There are like 4 of those pictured locally here.
But much much bigger.

Yeah I've seen the ones up there these ones are just an open cut coal dredger, nothing special but closing down a major highway to let something so heavy cross the road while moving under it's own steam was a pretty special thing at the time.

Yeah there is always wide loads up here. Bits of bridges to massive transformers, there was one moved about 4 months ago that weighed 600 tonne my mate was saying.
He works for a local crane mob, they had this miltary vehicle thing with 900Hp that pushed the truck up the hills. You know Harpers hill Krafty ?

I think we drove up that hill years and years ago but it's only the name that rings a bell.
When they moved the dredger above they actually had to dam the creek in about 5 place, close 4 roads in total and replace about 60 boundary fences because not only was it slow moving but because of it's weight and those tracks they had to take it on the flattest path possible.
We still get wide loads and huge stuff coming to the power stations but not as often as when they were building it, now days we send more loads out of the area due to large fabrication plants in the area. Sent something out for the oil rigs a few months back which had to have road closures all the way to the beach and take an extended route because of access issues.

Aido, I think you will find that video at least 3 or 4 times in the last 5 pages.
