Heavy Haul Photos

Cat 589 Boom Tractor stripped of Stick and weights. Still gross out at 188,500 lbs.

 

65,000 pounds, is that a type error? I didn't know these trucks can get that heavy..thanks for the picture.

 

What do you mean almost? It's definitely a turn on.

 

sorry I meant to add to my HEAVY DUDE reply and accidentally added to yours, I don't know how to delete it.

 

I probably missed it someplace and I know this is an old post, what is the horsepower/torque on that truck? Great pictures on here. Some are deceiving and look a lot lighter than they are.

 

This has to be the coolest thread on TTR.

Makes me miss my flatbed days.

 

hey guys this is my first time posting on this form, looks like an awesome site its really interesting to see how you guys do it over in the USA, i live over in Aus.

I drive a low loader or lowboy as you guys call it, how ever our gear is a little different than yours.. hope u enjoy some of my pics

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Been reading all kinds of random stuff on wiki tonight.

Started from the page for Big Rocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_megalithic_sites

Learned about the movement of the Thunder Stone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Horseman#Thunder_Stone. I think this is quite a lot more impressive then our modern accomplishment below. 1250 tons with just sweat!


But I can't believe this forum missed out on the movement of the Levitated Mass just last month. 340 tons of fun. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/LACMA-Rock-Levitated-Mass-Route-Map-141076983.html Do yourself a favor and skip the first video (standard local news glurge). The one at the bottom of the page describes the rig.
