Record-breaking heavy haul load en route in Manitoba

The heaviest loads ever hauled on provincial highways began a 90-mile trip in Manitoba on Sunday night, Nov. 4.

Three 193-ton electrical transformers valued at more than $5 million each are being moved – in three trips – from the plant where they were made to a power substation outside Winnipeg.


The self-propelled modular trailer that’s moving them is 111 feet long and has 20 axles and 320 tires. It moves only at night and goes about 3 mph. The trailer is similar to the unit used to move the space shuttle Endeavour through the streets of Los Angeles.

It's being moved by a company that is based about 1/4 mile down the street from where I park the short bus.

Those guys have far too much money if they can afford that transporter. Next time they get me to haul a load for them and don't want to pay for 60 days, I'm going to flatten all 320 tires on that sucker.
