Cool, well, I remember we had a joke in Yekaterinburg on Shevskaya Street next to the Red Commanders, I don’t remember exactly in the summer of 2007-10, the trucks that carried the tank broke down and the tanks drove on their own)
A regular B-train with a load of round bails in the Biggest in the World lol. When there are big loads, there is always a pusher truck. These may have been big in size, but not really in weight compared to tones of moves. I see heavier come through my area weekly, with 11-14 axles on a single unit, and half the length.
Seen around Goonyella, Moranbah off the Peak Downs Highway,On February 18, 2006, an Australian built Mack truck with 113 semi-trailers, 2,865,980 pounds (1,299,987 kg) and 4,836 ft 11 in (1,474.3 metres) long, pulled the load the longest road train (multiple loaded trailers) ever pulled with a single prime mover. It was on the main road of Clifton, Queensland, that 70-year-old John Atkinson claimed a new record, pulled by a tri-drive Mack Titan.’
The trailers were NOT LOADED – they never are in these World Record attempts, no body wants their freight on the back of a trailer for the several days that it takes to assemble and hook these trailers of all kinds up. And nobody wants their trailer stuck in the middle of a train because one closer to the truck has had a misfortune and the whole show takes a day or so to disassemble — and he has angry customers waiting for their freight to be serviced. . And 1,300 tonnes by a single tri-drive — I DON’T think so Sonny Jim. Besides with an average weight of 35 tonnes – including the converter dolly – the weight of 113 trailers would be closer to 4,000 tonnes.
