You could put a nice size plow in the front.. Maybe a Blizzard *L* Do they make blizzards that expand that much?
I am sure you could put a big azz salter in the back..
But id only use that for really big parking lots :)
There is no way those 2 trucks could transport that thing anywhere looks way to heavy, those are usualy built on site, thats acording to the Discovery Channel on monster machine's.

Id say a 50 ft blade out to be easy to do on that rig,LOL. Forget the salter,what would you load it with a crane? :D

I think he may be just a bit over the height ,weight and width limit for over the road transport,it certainly would make heads turn to see something like that on the road though:cool: :cool: I wouldnt want his toll bill:D :D

Guys,
Here is a 1 pass clear the shopping mall size blade then for you wondering
:cool:
The sign says OVERSIZE:geez what an understatement. There are 16 axles on that rig.
Maybe he'll come up and plow my drive for $25?

If it is 44 feet long, I would imagine that is from the back of rear tires to front of front tires.
IF that is the case, then the pic is a photoshop special. Probably for a calendar or something.
The drop deck on the trailers is not 44 feet long.... (though I might be wrong)

:eek: WOW! Thats some heavy duty machines! :shades Like Chuck said though, I dont think the flat area they are sitting on is 44' long, but maybe I am wrong also. It looks to be wider than it is long. Great pics, thanks for posting them. :cool: Mike

Guys,
I dont beleive this to be altered pictures.... most of the equipment and trucks are from outside the US and they are moving some huge weights....
Faun 8x8 48ton trucks 19 litre Cummins engines 900bhp
French built Nicolas trailer 20 axles with 160 tires
Combined mass of 450 tons and 100 yards long
or
One of the longest heavy hauls in history - two giant Kenworth 993's toiling nearly 400miles in the Spanish sun. It takes 65 people to work out each move, including armed guards, and they're going to do it seven more times.
Testing a 90t dummy load "container with sea water"
Kenworth 993 6x6's 700hp with a Trabosa 18 axle trailer.
Intended to be used to move 365t steam generators for a Nuclear Power Station.
These units are now somewhere in the world Tunisian Power and Light Company. The other has been seen in India. The big question who has photographed them today. There are only three that were built out of the PACCAR factory.
or
The single biggest item moved in South Africa over 700kms in 11 days weighing 455ton reactor on a Nicolas 24 axle module weighing 180tons (rented from Scales in France). Three MAN 48.700 8x8's were used and they were over heating at 33degC. The gross combination mass of 670tons. Reactor built in Japan.
I found these on

At that size.. .18 to 24 axles... your talking heavy weight....

What you mean no salter.. Come on what kind of Scraper / plower are you...
Put in a few of them Trynex salters everyone loves so much. I ams ure you can put the 8' in and add some brcase to the side so you can heap the salt to maybe 3 yards :)
God knows the truck wont blow a fuse on need a bigger alternator to power the salters.
I'll bet that truck has HID lights that i so much love and would put on my truck if i could find the real deal and not no made in china and will melt in 5 mins crap.
I want made in Canada or USA by a Asian person thats ok i supose.
