Has anyone done a load over 100 tonnes? Do you have any pictures?
This one big enough for you ?
There was a thread quite a while back put up by a chap working for ALE heavy haulage moving a load in South Africa. Do a search above and you may find it.
This is taken from the pictures forum… viewtopic.php?f=28&t=54715
The main threads had loads of pics and info about the job.
I regularly do loads of about 26 tons. and you wouldn’t want that on your toe!
Now that is a monster trailer!
a couple more from my album…
Note: not me driving these

it was said that the first 200 ton girder trailer ( TM 413 ) weighed around 100 tons empty it was a real heavy duty thing and I am sure it is on the show circuit nowadays. I did a few loads over 100 tons but I have no photos as it was in the late 60s and early 70s and could not afford a camera and if I could I would not have known how to use it

Rikki, was that a functioning weighbridge or was it strengthning for a bridge?

it looks as if it used to spread the weight in the old days we used to have to put steel plates down to do it but that looks far easier and does a better job progress

Its a temporary bridge spanning the actual bridge underneath that wouldnt take the weight
One from the paper thisissomerset.co.uk/Monster … story.html
saw this in either Germany orCzech Republic, not sure what it was or how much it weighed, but it was the biggest thing ive ever seen that ran on wheels (sorry about quality of pic, was on the move at the time)
Rikki-UK:
Rikki looking at the number of modules under that I would guess that is 1500 to 2000 tons in that lump and it must be one of the heaviest loads moved even though it is an internal move for the oil or gas industry

You’d be struggling to find a lay-by to put that in for ANOTHER dodgy and anyway you wouldn’t have enough lamps.

The BP Andrew load out… a job I was on in a very minor capacity was 10,500 tonnes… this load was winched rather than dragged, now days it is done by self propelled trailers… Time marches on…
is that sticky ?
