Caution: Wide Long Load Ahead, and Behind!

This is a video of the Contractors Cargo Company 35 axle Dual Lane Transporter. It was hauling a turbine engine in Fresno County. This company was formed in 1933, and is the same company that has hauled the Space Shuttle, and the SR71 Blackbird.
This is truly a site to see. They had just made a 90 degree left turn. They have to stop, and tie the load for a straightaway after the turn.

Music is by Track One recordings. The song is entitled "The Drive".

The song is "The Drive", by Alexander Perls. You can download, look just below the video, on the right.

The 35 axle is not stated by me, or anyone else. That is what the Company who makes this trailer calls it. You need to contact them if you don't think it is a 35 axle.

It is carrying a jet turbine engine to be used to create electricity. (The center portion, covered up)

[Abstractstv]

It's working here, now Jimmy. Try again.

Thanks

where does a turbine engine that size go into

[Abstractstv]

I am pretty sure the turbine will be used for a "peaker plant". The plant will generate electricity during the summer "peak hours". The San Joaquin Valley get hots in the summer, people use the most electrictity then. It will be tied in to the local electric & gas utility company, to help meet that load.

They will use natural gas from that same electric and gas utility company to run the turbine. There are several like this in the valley.

Bulky, but not really heavy? It seemed to start and stop quickly.

[bookworm1960]

WOW!!! This is the BIGGEST heavy-load trailer I've ever seen!!

It's also the first double-wide i ever saw.
