41chevy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Perkins Specialized Transportation of Northfield, Minn. used heavy-haul Titans to move 800,000 lb. generator vessels from San Onofre, Calif., to Clive, Utah. The job was so massive that it required three Titans in total -- one in front and two pushers behind the nearly 300-foot long trailer. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Pretty cool stuff there - they even bring along their own National crane for kicks. I wish they had shown more close ups of how they have the rear tractors coupled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umodelnut Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd bet 2 E9 Superliners coulda done thing same thing.I'd bet 4 237 horse U models could have done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I'd bet 4 237 horse U models could have done that.You'd have to put really long kick stands on them as the counterweights may not be far enough over to keep them upright and forget about right turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvam Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 No need fo a kick stand. You run a "4 Up" like in draft horses. Front pair and rear pairSo Vinnie, you need three more and then you can be the East coast "U" model heavy haul mogul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDzimitrowiczJr Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd bet 4 237 horse U models could have done that.hell in that case i'll bet ya (10) B-42's coulda done that at a whopping road speed of 10 miles an hour haha. the ad is good for Mack i think but the fact is, it's not mack powered.
