We actually did take these two “back to back” Kenworths on the highway in Syria like this as the pins holding the derrick “A” frame sections of the rig together were seized and we could’t split the frame, we bust 100 ton hydraulic pullers in the attempt.
We also had to demolish a police post (hut) at the entrance to a refinery and build them a new one.
It was great fun and the police helped by hammering at the hut roof with the butts of their Kalashnikovs, not a safe thing to do !
Retired now, but I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it !
