"Heavy Haulage through the years"

[jsutherland]

I have found this Instagram site - pictures of heavy haulage taken by 10 year old Aaron Silcock: Aaron, Alfie and Brian (@heavy_haulage) • Instagram photos and videos. Some great pictures.
Cheers

I am ashamed that I have very little to add to this excellent thread - I never worked in the heavy haulage industry - except a few slightly connected from my seafaring days, some taken by me others not.

The business of building ships in sections, transporting to one place and welding them all together is now very popular but this picture shows that it has been going on for a long while. This picture comes from Melbourne, Australia and dates from 1945.

Tractor units are usually double- drive or tri-drive and low-loaders start at two axles and you can add axles to suit the load through jeeps and boosters. Here is a guide to the various weights allowed. [Kilograms]

A mixed selection.

No need to feel ashamed David, whatever it is one brings to the table is highly appreciated mate
And don’t worry about not having worked in the heavy haulage industry, I do and I haven’t got the slightest idea what I’m doing…

The girder was part of a bridge support and it weighed 30t. It was made by Rubery Owen in Darlaston and it’s pictured here leaving the works and slowly crossing town centre.
