Juggernaut…one more of the heavy hauling to Fort McMurray.
Here’s a short clip of the rig as it prepares to negotiate a very tight right hand turn in Two Hills. All of the wheels on the Scheurle trailer units are steerable. This coker weighed in at 456000 kg (trailers and trucks extra) Each of the trailer units has 160 wheels. (320 wheels on 20 axles in total) These coker ovens weigh more than 500 tons, 10 meters in diameter, 80 meters long, are are on their way from Edmonton to the oilsands plants at Fort McMurray. They have as many as 7 tractors pulling and pushing, the Scheurle trailer units have 160 wheels each. Travel speed is from 10-30 kmh. Manufactured by Cessco Inc. and also Dacro Industries Ltd. The biggest piece hauled so far was 1700000 pounds or about 850 tonnes. It was the heaviest road load ever transported in North America. So far, they’ve manufactured and moved at least 8 units like this. The move takes about a week for the 550km journey from Edmonton to Fort McMurray. More are being built as more of the oilsands are being exploited. Most of the big loads are moved in winter when the roads are frozen solid. The bridge over the North Saskatchewan River at Duvernay had to be reinforced. Two companies handle the hauling, Mammoet Transportation Inc. and Premay Equipment Ltd. in Edmonton After the vessels are assembled, they are put into a gigantic heat-treating oven where they are baked to take out stresses. Check out the high-res. photos on my pbase gallery www.pbase.com Another load is being rigged for moving this …
hey isnt mammoet a crane company too???
great video see my video response
@Darbkin add in a few drunk drivers and people disrespect for the law and you got a HUGE problem on your hands with maybe over 50 dead do the huge tube !
WOW
Mammoet = coolest company evar
thats them delivering my condom. non erected.
@onebadsavage26 I used to live in Edmonton, and I logged up at CNRL one year, plus I’ve done other logging in the area, so I travelled through the Fort every so often, but never lived there. I checked one out up close as well, but I only had my crappy cell phone camera which later went kaput and took the pics with it, so I have nothing but my memory now. That was when I calculated that it had 350 wheels/tires on the trailers. That’s about 30,000 pounds worth of tires alone!
@landlightning, I take it you live up here too(fort mac)? They had this parked at the wide spot and I got to go look at it close up. The video doesnt do it justice… it’s huge!! I think it went to Voyager…where it now sits in mothballs.
@onebadsavage26 That’s a big load, alright! For the coker I saw them hauling, that 500+ km trip took 9 days, if I remember correctly. No traffic could drive in either direction on the highway while it was in transit, because it took up the entire road. They would park it at roadside turnouts and move it only on days when traffic was light, thereby avoiding huge traffic jams because on shift-change days at the mines traffic is ridiculously heavy between the Fort and Edmonton..
@landlightning
it was 2.1 million lbs if I’m not mistaken…just over 1000 ton. I heard it was the largest, heaviest load ever hauled on Canadian public roads. They hauled it over 500km
now thats what I call a load, reminds me of the thunderbirds, all we needed was their music
fuck that… thats a huge load…
Oh god, man, I feel sooo bad for the guys who drive up to Fort Mac, but shit, they must be some of the most skilled drivers the world over.
By the look of the speed it’s travelling, I hope they are not going very far.
why the f dont they just build that thing on site?
looks like a job for the thunderbirds
@TheGrultimate They cut it very wide. highways are the preference for this.
On july 11th 2009 my brother Markus Bott was assassinated after having been tortured during five and a half year by the german Bundesnachrichtendienst which was known before as the Gestapo. The Bundesnachrichtendienst today uses the secret weapons developed during the Third Reich for brainwashing and torture. Some description of these techniques is given on my youtube channel as well.
