If I ever win the lottery I'm buying 100+ acres in eastern Washington state and a brand new one of these just so me and my kids can play with it. What bragging rights would my kids have at school.
Roller frames and tracks should of been taken off the machine for transport. The rollframers are 25,000 pounds a peice so that's 50,000 pounds and the tracks are 30,000 pounds so thats 80,000 pounds that could of been taken off the machine and made transport a lot safer. I haul the rollerframes and tracks all the time so I know the weight.
Why is the pilot car in the rear on a 2 lane road ? every oversize load i ever pulled that required a pilot car on a 2 lane road, the pilot car was required to be in the front as per the permit. Must be a california thing in this vid.
@firesnuffer0 don't know how it is in America, but over here in Australia, the Lead is usually over 1Km ahead(depending on speed zone) to give motorists time to slow down!
@bcmcustoms1 They've got the tracks chained to the track frames. Though low, there is still around 6 inches of clearance under them. You can see a better shot of this in Part 1.
@raginroadrunner The D-11R weight w/o blade and low on fuel is a little over 163,000 . I don't know where you get that it's "exagerated" next time you haul one on a 9 ax.... Run it across a scale ....!
everyone is caught up with the big bulldozer and trailer, I find it fascinating myself.. but take a moment to think of the massive beast of a cat diesel engine in the tractor that is pulling this setup..... from the sound, it's at least a 650hp....listen to that baby growl!! Long live CAT diesel power!
@lett9911 The info on the internet says a D11R's shipping weight is 163,200 lbs, but the driver of this load commented on my other video and said the weight is closer to 183,000 lbs. He said the gross weight (I assume truck, trailer, and dozer) is pushing 250,000 lbs!
@espeescotty a D11R "fully dressed" with a blade and ripper is what he probably meant, If I remember the Cat performance handbook numbers right it is 246,000 Lbs operating with a carry dozer blade and single shank ripper.
@espeescotty ...in the oilfield this nothing...and the 163,220 lb estimation is exagerated...theres not much iron there...I've seen choke manifolds in the oil patch at over 400.000.....
@espeescotty Not sure of the conversions, but WesTrac Caterpillar are our major client. When a new 11 arrives here in Oz off the ship, its MINUS Cab, Rops, Lift Cyls, Blade arms and trunions but fitted with a single tyne riper assy and they go 83.5tonne. Our KW T908 or K108 primemovers with 2 rows of 8 widening dolly and 5 rows of 8 'Swing Wing' style widening float tare off at around 37/38 tonne. As opposed to this method with the dozer straddling the lowloader, we drive ours onto the decks.
@AUSSIEGIZMO76 Yeah, I've seen videos of the trailer you speak of and there is a die-cast model manufacturer that makes a model of it too, including the KW T908. It is really pretty neat. It's interesting to me how different solutions are created for getting the same job done. Thanks for the information of how things are done there.
@espeescotty My pleasure mate! Yes, Drake got the same company who make the Caterpilar diecast models to do a 1:50 scale one of their own. That model is also now available painted up in the livery of some of Oz's well know Heavy Haulage companies. I drive one of the 2 K108 Aerodynes we have. Our fleet also consists of a T904, a T908 and 3 heavy spec Freightliner Argosys and our trailers range from a Drake deck widening triaxle to a Drake self steering 8 rows of 8 full widening platform.
@1brymark No doubt the Australian style trailer is more versatile and maybe even has a higher load capacity, but I personally prefer the looks of the type in my video. To me there is just more eye candy in it. That may also mean that it's more complicated, I don't know. But also notice that the trailer in my vid also allows the cab, stacks, and cylinders to stay on the dozer. Bridge clearances there are probably roughly equal to what they are here.
@espeescotty ----yes, but I was referring in general from the state of the art turnapulls, cat and scrapers, and powerless equipment haul trucks that I rode with my Dad in the late 50s! They nearly always bootlegged the equipment , no permits, and I might add very sub par brakes, no syncro-mesh gears, add some transmissions even without helical cut gears! Many of the trucks of the late forties and fifties had manual turn signals, you pulled a lever inside and outside an electrified arm arose !
@MrStonemike Yeah, things have sure changed a lot in the trucking and heavy equipment industries in the decades since then. Though I can't claim any personal experience with either industry (unfortunately), I've seen photos from back in the day and am very impressed and surprised at the way things were done back then compared to now. Either way, either time, it's neat to watch how these jobs are or were accomplished.
@JetMechMA Actually, if you count all ten wheels on the Kenworth, there are 58 wheels total on this particular setup. For every wheel you see on the edge of the trailers, there are 7 more next to them going across the lane. HEAVY duty! :) Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked It. My three videos of this move are some of my most popular. Just wish I could get more shots like them.
alot of money going down the road right there.

@TheDh0ffryn we try and keep our lead escort at least 1/4 mile ahead, and if it a high pole car i personaly like them to be a bit more than that.

Great catch. There's something you don't see every day. Thanks for sharing it. It looks like they have 32 truck wheels to handle the weight.
