What's the longest load you've seen on the road?

[Grumph]

Had a good one stop outside the other morning. Apparently Central Plains Water have a polythene pipe extruder on site up the road from me. They were taking a load of pipes around 300mm dia across to the Fonterra plant outside Darfield and had stopped to check the ties etc. The pipes were approx 90 meters long and supported on 5 dollys...towed by a biggish farm tractor. Avoiding the main roads of course.
Total length according to the driver 103 meters....It was certainly impressive. Probably won't be the last one either.

Seen some good stuff over the years... More impressed by weight than length though.
Earlier in the year saw TWL pulling some impressive steel bridge spars for the Waikato/Cambridge expressway out of eastBridge engineering in Napier.
Was gutted didn't have my camera ready.

Ask any woman, girth is far more important than length unless you have none.

Well the Youtube trucking vid got distracting when I ended up finding: https://www.google.com/search?q=iwona+blecharczyk&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Polish blonde (very good looking) driving trucks across Europe. Her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TruckinGirlIwona

The shity mess left on the road by the seagull (or flock of condors) that shat all down the front of my jacket and face and fairing a couple of years back.

In Canterbury you'll often see a half km of fucking stinking cow shit on the road after a farmer has moved (mooooed?) his/her cattle.


But 100 m is impressive.

Dunno about longest, but have seen some bloody huge loads going up the Darling Range in Perth - like these buckets:

And the trucks they go on top of...

Road trains in WA. 3 full size trailers + a 2/3 lenth one. Dunno how long exactly, but 3 40ft containers and a 26ish is pretty fucken long.

[nodrog]

I saw the hydrocracker arrive at Marsden point, that was a big trailer.

[jellywrestler]

when they built woolworths in wanganui the main beams came from the naki, were too big to get around two of the better motorcycling corners just north of wanganui, so they striaghtened the corners up, the beginning of the end of the roads i remember.

...they moved those stones at Stonehenge from the other side of the Severn, to where they are now in Wiltshire, or so goes a theory...that would have been big loads for those times, 3000 BC...sorry, no pics...

Oh, agreed, next time I'll take some and send them to you to post as there's no way in the world AFAIK that I can post pics here.
The mouse powering the setup here has hysterics and quits when asked to send a pic anywhere.
Not all of NZ has broadband - or can afford it...

The transformers for the substation were pretty impressive when being shifted between the wharfs and Haywards a few years back
