Glad I don't have to pay for all of the damages to the bridge and excavator.Let alone the damage to the truck and trailer...lol The dummy should have extended the arm out on the excavator to prevent stuff like that from happening.
first off. as others said that weighs a whole lot more. second that is not a flatbed trailer but a RGN. so b4 you make statements of nothing you know about do your research first then post with proper description. A Professional Truck Driver
Mate, that excavator was more like 25-30 ton. It was a long reach and couldn't fold down far enough for transport. It looked like the tip of the joint of the boom and dipper hit the bridge and got pulled up as the concrete force stopped it.
I remember seeing this... The damaged portion was cut out, and replaced. This bridge is still in use. I'd say he was traveling about 70 mph. He was overhight. I believe that bridge has about a 17 foot clearance. The posted speed limit was 70 mph for all vehicles. (it was raised to 75 mph fall 2011) The repair is almost undetectable now that it has aged a few years.
@mandrs2nd i was about to correct him aswell, and the excavator is either 45 or 50ton, the problem is it was loaded the wrong way and it was a long reach so it had no chance of getting the boom low enough to make it under any bridge.
saw a similar accident in brisbane australia during peak hour rush.the accident closed all traffic beneath the underpass and also 4 lanes of freeway above
75 mph is my guess. That is about a 30-35 ton excavator. I'd say the whole rig loaded at impact was about 120,000 lbs. Bridges get bumped every day and often need small repairs but I reckon that bridge can't be repaired without being replaced. Maybe they will build it a little taller rather than issuing the complex oversize routes just to deal with it.
@anagennao Thanks for telling me I guess. It would be interesting to see how they did it. I know a guy that works of repair crews and they have been bumped while actually "inside" the bridge fixing it! lol though prob not lol.....
first of all, this is a track hoe. Second, you have not taken into account how much the chains stretched before they broke(load securement chains), the flex of the trailer, and how much the tires squished down before plowing thru the concrete. Too many variables in this equation. Also, it would depend on the grade and heat temper of the steel used to construct the arm of the hoe. Should I go on????
I think it is safe to assume that excavator has dug it's last trench. I remember seeing these pictures pinned to the wall of a Port Of Entry along with other pictures of similar "blunders."
Just so you know that excavator weighs more than 8 tons. Probably around 40 tons. I run a link belt ls-4300 long reach excavator and it weighs 60 tons. That one's not quite as big as mine.
@boomer76 why would they load it boom towards the truck dont you always load them boom at back of trailers so you can get it low enough that this doesnt happen.
for all of those wondering he had it boom forward because the boom and stick are long reach and most states require you to have escorts for rear over hang over 5 foot second if im not completely mistakin this bridge was in a construction zone and the pavement is higher making the posted bridge shorter 3rd he did have to buy the bridge and the reason it went so far thru it because this bridge is a hollow cast bridge where they make it offsite hoist it up and place it its not made of beams
For one thing that excavator weighs a lot more than 8 tons, try more like 30 to 35 tons. For those saying that it was loaded the wrong way not necessarily. I pull a three axle stretch RGN and there are times that in order to get the axle weights right I have to load it with the boom to the front. Then again I always tie the boom down too.
Umm,,, thats not a "Backhoe"... its called an Excavator! A much bigger , more serious piece of equipment! And btw the only way this pic could happen... is if the truck was going really fast in reverse!
@arbn464 nope That is an RGN trailer the front of trailer disconnects from bed for loading and unloading equipment. dude is right though he had arm facing wrong way that is also you will notice a super stretch arm
If I was to assume that the trucker was driving at 60mph and that he made it a third of the way through the over pass. and I take the known fact that if you double an objects velocity you quadruple it's potential energy. the trucker would have to have been traveling at speeds between 97mph and 104mph. as long as your not asking for variables.
The driver was inexperienced and didnt know how to load the long reach excavator/track-hoe... however, like others have said, it is more than 8 tons. (more like ~30 tons) the last one I hauled had #11,000 of the steer, #52,000 lbs on the drives, and #46,000 on the rears. the truck/trailer weights ~42,000... so the machine was weighting it at #67,000.. (Cat 325C LR)
that machine weighs a lot more than eight tones and the lorry driver probably didn tke time or had no experience to lower the jib on the machine low enough to safely clear overhead obstacales
Some bodys out of the heavy haul business! haaa i heavy hauled tri ax, 48 state. No matter how hard i worked the check was $800 a week. After 5 months i quit. i can make that hauling a dry van.. no permits, no oversize dimesionals, 120,000 lb ... you dont make enough money doing this. Thank God no one is dead.
I saw the answer in the picture. That is amazing. Answer: A lot of weight + A lot of speed = A lot of force = A lot of DAMAGE. End result: A lot of Damage = Big headache for Driver + Insurance company + Owner of bridge. Repercussions: Wrecked bridge = Mass disruption to traffic + (Shovel) ready jobs {ocrappa lie} + Construction contract for repair + Money spent/received for fine + Driver probably seeking new employment outside the trucking field. - Lesson: Pay attention to signs and load height.
First I've posted here before. But here are the real weight estimates because I haul this stuff. That unit is about the same as a cat 330D. Those weight in just over 90,000lbs. the arm has the capasity to lift 50 tons. If that unit was sent to rip that bridge down it could one bit at a time. Also hats off for securement to the driver because it's still on the trailer. Fault could have been arm not all the way down but more than likely a bridge not marked correct. But you din't film the hit.
@bbaker904 also he should never have been hauling it with arm facing forward! Always facing rear so god forbid something like this happens it breaks chains and tips excavator down instead of destroying the bridge.
@piledriver9922 so if it was a pure acident as you claim, how are you able to get close enough to take pics like this, end the machine is a hyundai rolex 210 long reach weighing about 23 ton so where you get 8 ton from is beyond me.
Go and research this properly and find out the facts before blaming the driver, notice how theres no cars or trucks around its also been on tv about it an they said it was staged to see how strong the bridge was
@mrhh2010 Google "kansas city construction company has bad day" and click on the article by equipment world. This article was published in November but quotes the accident happening in February, which is the date stamp on these photo's. I don't know what ahow you where watching but I would say your the one full of it. Why would they do something like this on purpose on an interstate. Do you know what the cost of this would be to fix?????
I wouldn't have thought that possible if I hadn't seen it here. I would have thought the reinforced concrete would have been stronger than the arms of that excavator.
I was actually fortunate enough (if you want to call it that) to be living in Hays when this occured. There were a few violations by the driver which caused this accident to occur. At least it wasn't the primary bridge in Hays. Good ol' Hall street over to Wal-mart.

I love how this wise ass tries to play smart with the math BS, but he does not know the difference between a backhoe and an excavator. Plus this is a 25ton machine not an 8ton. Fail!
well for starters he loaded the trackhoe the wrong way on the lowboy which cause him not to be able to lower the stick all the way and met the bridge ..the hard way
I ran across these pictures some time back on red power magazine.com, the driver was speeding, I believe about 70 mph, no permits, over height, off designated route etc, etc... most likely lost his class "A" forever.......
The slot was already there in the bridge, to help tall vehicles get through. The driver lined up with it and fitted through, Unfortunately the slot wasnt quite long enough, so they got stuck. It's called a "360 slew excavator." not a backhoe.

This article was published in November but quotes the accident happening in February, which is the date stamp on these photo's. I don't know what ahow you where watching but I would say your the one full of it. Why would they do something like this on purpose on an interstate. Do you know what the cost of this would be to fix?????

I don't know where the 8 tons came from, but my guess is that the excavator weights more than 16,000 lbs because

I wouldn't have thought that possible if I hadn't seen it here. I would have thought the reinforced concrete would have been stronger than the arms of that excavator.

I was actually fortunate enough (if you want to call it that) to be living in Hays when this occured. There were a few violations by the driver which caused this accident to occur. At least it wasn't the primary bridge in Hays. Good ol' Hall street over to Wal-mart.

WTF is "commercial grade concrete"?
WTF is "refined steel" ?
What fucking bridge uses "1 1/2 rebar""?
It is called a boom and dipper not a "shovel arm"
It is not a "flat bed trailer" it is a lo-boy trailer.
And no, the "shovel arm" is not made of hardened steel or "hardened refined steel" either.
You fail at trying to sound smarter than the moron who hit the bridge.

I love how this wise ass tries to play smart with the math BS, but he does not know the difference between a backhoe and an excavator. Plus this is a 25ton machine not an 8ton. Fail!

@MrThisIsMeToo That is what I was thinking. Why would they put a 16000 lbs machine on a 3 axle trailer. Has to weigh more than 16,000.

well for starters he loaded the trackhoe the wrong way on the lowboy which cause him not to be able to lower the stick all the way and met the bridge ..the hard way

I ran across these pictures some time back on red power magazine.com, the driver was speeding, I believe about 70 mph, no permits, over height, off designated route etc, etc... most likely lost his class "A" forever.......

The slot was already there in the bridge, to help tall vehicles get through. The driver lined up with it and fitted through, Unfortunately the slot wasnt quite long enough, so they got stuck. It's called a "360 slew excavator." not a backhoe.
