Heavy Haul Photos

here is a ld. we just delivered this week. 17' wide.

 

Not sure how to do this photo upload yet, but if it takes I call this photo dispatcher brains.

 

A few pictures of my year driving in Iraq.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Able to post up the specs on that tractor and trailer? Obviously made to haul some serious weight!!!

 

the truck is a M1070. it has 8 wheels, is all wheel drive, front and rear steer axles, a detroit diesel V8 that puts out 500hp, 2 55,000 lbs winches and 1 3,000 lbs winch, and a GCWR 231,400 lbs (not like there was a DOT in Iraq to stop us when we were over weight.)

the trailer is a M1000. it has 40 wheels, the last 4 axles are steerable, has a payload of 140,000 lbs, is about 52 ft long with a usable deck of about 34 ft.

 

Would you tell me that is truck or what? If that is truck, then also tell me that what kind of truck that is. I have never seen these kind of vehicle before, that is why I am interested to know about that.

 

That isn't a truck, it's a machine that has steering on the top.. This machine is used to heat up and then grind the asphalt on the on the roads so that they can be resurfaced.. The grindings shoot of the conveyor (the long piece going over the rear axles) and go into a dump truck that would be slowly moving at the machine moves.... Hope this helps..

 

Thanks for given this helpful and an important information. Now, I can understand that is not a truck, can you tell me that machines are uses in which city?

 

Just a Roto Mill , all it does is grind down or remove surface or top layers of asphalt or concrete ,spent many hours in front/back of one

Thanks for sharing this information with me and I have seen that video which is given by you here. After seen that video I can understand the uses of that kind of machines.
