How many axles will it take

Overhead cannot handle it? 105 ton? Most overheads go 150-250 ton lift.

Erm... let's seee. 105 ton, 2000 per. 210,000

My chart does not go that high, I need to do some digging... in fact.. that load might well... we have 150 ton transformers on our little state route onto the freeway several times a week, but always stop there to check that bridge on paper before crossing. 20 axles I imagine groups of two and threes.

Our over head is 10 ton.

 

Long tons?

 

Roman.

 

Metric throws a giant wrench. I prefer to fall back onto a weight of one foot by one foot of steel in cube and work out from there. But that's overthinking stuff too much.

105 ton versus a 100 ton crane should still do it. Maybe. If it does not smoke, fail, catch fire or break chains. Engineers build a bit of safety into those things margin wise.

Do you even have railroad service into that outfit with that hunk of metal? Im thinking big bulkhead 65 foot flat car roll in there, klump! chained and gone.

 

Ok. After hurting my head a little bit, I remembered the monster tow motor hefting that 52000 pound coil onto my deck after it moved it to where the overhead took from him next to my deck. 4 of those monsters should heft that strip of steel 105 ton should it not? Is there enough material long enough to get them all side by side working together to do a lift?

 

Don't spend to much time on him.

 

Need more info. What is exact height and length? I assume it could be self-supporting? Where is destination to and from?

Until you can answer those for now here are a few ways;
If it is a short move with not to many bridges then you can use a platform trailer. Another way on a short move is I saw one time this big ol flatbed. Don't know what it was hauling, but here is the website. www.rybickitrucking.com Click on About and look at bottom row 2nd picture. Looks to be steerable.

If you got a lot of road to cover on moving it you could use those bridge beam dollys that are used to...of course haul bridge beams. Use the load as part of the trailer. Cuts down on empty weight. I have seen a 4 axle jeep before with 6 axle steer dolly that might be close to being able to scale 210,000# I assume its 105 short tons. If the load is coming off the port where it was manufactured overseas then more then likely it could be 105 long tons or roughly 231,000#
