GearheadGrrrl Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That looks seriously beefy! Is that a single rail frame, and how thick is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack 3P Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I took some better pictures. The truck is so big I can hardley get it in one photo. The rear of the frame is 5' off the ground. This was a Mod Center job, they are currently building another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Aaah... Triple framed! From the looks of the trailer hose positioning it must be going to pull a log trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a Mod Center job, they are currently building another one.Awesome pictures! Is it possible for you to post them in a larger size?What size are the tires?14.00R25. Those are Michelin XMH tries and if you look hard enough you can see there is a 25 at the end of the tire size. The XMH is only available in 14.00R24 and 14.00R25 and is geared toward earth movers and logging. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

mackcl96 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Thanks 3P for the photos,,,,,,,,Is that truck going with those aluminum front wheels?If the customer needed that heavy of a truck.. I fell the front rims will shatter like glass,, fully loaded Quote Thanks for hearing me out.You can have the soap box now---------JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granitefan713 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I agree with mackcl96, I think it needs beefier front tires! Still cool none the less.Figured I'd add these here, a collection of Titan's I've managed to photograph.(The first truck in the third row became the dump truck in the second row.)

mackbulldog64 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Very nice picts of the Titans! I saw my first Titan on Rt 81 going south towards Scranton Pa comeing from the Binghamton NY area. WORKING! It was a blue Tri axle heavy hauler pulling a tandem axle flat bed trailer. I saw it on the Monday after Easter when I was comeing home from Long Island NY All my best.

slpwlker Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Saw a white Titan yesterday coming south on 15 in Pa. Was a White triaxle pulling a 2 axle Lowboy. Anyways sitting down here in Duncannon,Pa thinking about heading back up to New Buffalo. Quieter and darker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gros Chien Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Got my quote for a 2012 Titan with MP-10 605hp, 18,000 front, 70,000 Sisu hub reduction rears on Neway 70,000, RTLO-20918B tranny, PTO-175, Rawhyde option...... this truck will have a gross combination pulling capacity of 330,000-lb on 12% grade hills. I'm quoting this truck for a job on the largest wind farm project in Canada (Qc) on a 3 years contract pulling up the hills(between 8-12% grade) close to 300 loads exceding 60 metric tons. After this one comes out of MOD center the selling cost is $235,500.00 cdn. Edited June 4, 2011 by Gros Chien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Expensive, but I doubt if a KW or Star with the same specs would be any cheaper. BTW, those weights sound heavier than the "garden variety" 3 MW wind turbines they've been putting in around here. Are these perhaps the new 5 MW wind turbines?

Are these perhaps the new 5 MW wind turbines?Enercon's E-82 have 60 metric tons nacelle(generator). Enercon are no gearbox turbine so their generators are quite big and heavy and they come in one piece(rotor and stator). Did not receive my quotes from Kw and Star yet, so??????

I think before I spent that kind of money, I would check an see what the Military had for sale, like a Oshkosh HET? some of those tractors can haul the kind of WT your lalkin about, and some have like 0 miles on them,an can be bought right!

mackbulldog64 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I thought on this site were suppose to promote mack trucks and not oshkosh trucks. Let him buy that Titan! We need more macks sold! Just kidding and do what best fits your budget to make big money. Good luck Terry E Davis of Johnson City NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29Bowtie Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've seen two so far, both were piggybacking Granites that were being delivered to our dealership, but the Titans were going to Nanaimo Mack on Vancouver Island. They like the big trucks for the loggers, although they still don't measure up to the old Pacifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Terry E Davis of Johnson City NYI'm definitely leaning toward the Titan but I want to compare with KW(C-500) and Star(6900) to make sure I get the best deal for the buck with the same specs.
