how big is the load???

[colson04]

I was cruising through ironplanet.com looking for a single axle tractor and this pops up. What a beast. I've seen some pretty neat heavy haul trucks while working for Cat and working in the oilfield, but I don't think I've ever seen an on-highway heavy haul like this one. Pretty crazy setup, it has me wondering just what they were moving that required a truck like this to be spec'd out.
this.

Dunno, but I would love to take it for a spin with a 10 wide lowboy on behind!

Ultimate rig up truck? I would hope it has auto lube, other wise I see about 350 grease zerks off a creeper.

Probably for mounting one of these, and then pulling a trailer from a fifth wheel mounted behind the crane. Use them a lot in Canadian oilfields, where they need to haul a load a long distance, and be able to unload it when getting to the site.

Ahh, learn something new every day.

Twin steer, tri-drive with two lift axles -that would make one hellava dump truck!

First time you hit a weigh station, the attendants head would explode.

40 acres comes to mind.

We might get it turned around after adding a wide " construction easement " . LOL !

Cool looking truck but would be totally helpless in my area .

It's to long for the roads & terrain .
