OT---ONE BIG LOAD- Talk about heavy haulers

Posted by Bob-Wyo on April 09, 2006 at 19:10:42 from (69.146.194.81):

Not tractor related to say, but the truck pulling it would out pull a lot of tractors.
A refinery vessel was built in Casper, Wyo and transported to the Cheyenne refinery last week.
It's weight was 372 TON, 20 feet wide and 205 feet long. Traveled on all 2 lane highways only when school bus's were not running.
What a running gear it had, over 100 wheels, and to make a corner each set of dollies had to be turned by hydraulic's as they worked it around the corner and then get it running straigh again, quite a operation for sure.
Came right by our house so got a first hand look and of course couldn't find the ---- camera in time.
They trucked in a crane that is supposed to be the largest crane in the US just to unload and set the vessel, had to have another crane just to pick up the 3 inch chokers to put them on the big guys hook.
Thought it might be interesting to some, just sorry I can't post a pic.
