When I worked in the coal mines.(surface strip mine) we had a retired Euclid hauler bout that size with a big loboy, we used it to move dozers to the shop for maintenance. All roads there were private so wasnt a problem. Before we had that, we used a big flat steel skid and drove dozers on them and drug them to shop with 2 CAT 637 twin engined scrapers hooked together and water truck would usually drive beside and spray water cannon in front of skid to keep heat and dust down. We moved dragline buckets that way also, usually had to add a 3rd scraper for them though It was generally a sight to see. I always tried to be in the lead scraper to stay out of dust and the smell of hot gravel and smoke. Curves were really a bitch though, stuff never would track real straight. randyp

Pretty much the same thing they did around here Randy. Two D8's pulling a sled with a busted D11, water, and chip trucks lubricating the roadway to the shop for repairs. Lots of noise, smoke, and smells to be amazed by.
