Molson-Coors Beer Vat Move - Hamilton to Toronto

These segments of video were originally recorded on Friday 7 Jan 2011 & Saturday 8 Jan 2011 on Wentworth St N north of Barton. I left the area about 0200 as it was moving so slow. Molson-Coors ordered six stainless steel beer vats from Germany and they were then shipped to Hamilton Harbour [Ontario]. From Hamilton they are being shipped along roads very slowly to the brewery in Toronto. The Toronto Harbour could not be used as the vats will not fit under any bridges and there was no possible route from the Toronto Harbour to the brewery location as all routes required passing under a bridge.

Canada could have asked the Russians to bring their monster helicopters & airlift them over. lol

@DrCartoon Not sure if the Pearson Airport across the street would give them the airspace or the time slot. Then the local houses would raise up a storm for SIX trips!

these vats are for molson's, they had got a contract from Labatts brewery for molsons to brew labatts beer for 5 years, LMAO labatts had to outsource because they can only brew so much. so next time you see a LABATTS beer bottle look to see where it was brewed " they will only say " brewed in Ontario !

Holy crap, I didn't think they were THAT big.
