Barry Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Here are some pics of a 387 ton power station transformer being moved near our location! The load required 2 pullers and 1 pusher truck (1-Autocar, 1-Mack RD800 & 1-Western Star) Who wants to count all the tires? LOL Enjoy...

CML Service Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Do you know who made the haul? The Autocar looks like Marino Crane's. They have some good looking prime movers. I've seen them at shows and working. Chuck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1053-talk-about-over-sized-loads/#findComment-5479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaddeusW Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The company is Mammoet...I am not sure where the are from though...Nice pics Barry. Mammoet is a Dutch heavy haul company that operates world wide. The move seems to be done by Marino Crane, possibly subcontracted by Mammoet. Marino has one impressive Mack they use to haul stuff with. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Barry Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Here is another pic I scanned from the local paper...poor quality, but it shows the RD800 dragging the load all by itself!

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Barry, great pictures and thanks for finding them. There is something about those big steel nose Macks that are very appealing,Tim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1053-talk-about-over-sized-loads/#findComment-5530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaddeusW Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Barry, great pictures and thanks for finding them. There is something about those big steel nose Macks that are very appealing,TimTim, I couldent agree with you more. Those steel hood Macks look real tough and sharp at the same time. Too bad they dont offer a steel hood anymore. And are those rear axles on it planetary hub reduction? the hub end looks real fat for a regular 58-65k rear. That or its just the angle.

A steel nose all decked out is the meanest looking truck on the road(next to a superliner)!

A steel nose all decked out is the meanest looking truck on the road(next to a superliner)! TimThe hubs kind of resemble the Renault planetary axles used on Australian Titans. It looks like it has demountable rims but that can be done with trilex wheel adaptors. I am really curious if those are planetary axles, possibly added on or custom orderd. Here is a pic of the Renault axles: Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!
