Thought this may be of interest to those in south Vic.
https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/news...d-1-to-4-april The load is a generator stator which is heading off to Germany for a refurb. The stator weighs in at 255 tonne. Good opportunity to see a load that doesn't travel that often. If you're not interested in seeing the load, at least be aware of the road network impacts, eg: Quote:

As an example, this video is of a 100m long superload, weighing in at 390 tonne. The load being moved tomorrow is 125m long and 615 tonne.

Disappointing to see we need to ship this halfway around the world instead of rebuilding it here in Australia

For anyone interested, the company doing the load move has released a video of the move.

Knowing bugger all about trucks, I've always been interested in how they make sure each truck is doing its share, ie the load is evenly distributed. I realise they'd all have uhf radios, but does anyone know how they make sure one's not coasting and the next isn't busting a foofer?
