Not many ADT's available locally and the ones that are available are too small (Volvo A25C's). Tipper trucks are more popular locally.

Saying that a chap we know has a fleet of 40 ADT's in neighbouring Ghana (Volvo A40E's and Bell B50D's) that are available for hire and within easy transport distance.

Ever see the youtube video where they had a set of cradles made to run the tracks up in on the excavator. Then he stuck the bucket in a haul truck, picked the front up and away they went. Pretty neat idea. I'm guessing a haul truck would be a little big on a highway thou.

You're talking about the Sleipner system ........ http://www.sleipner.fi/

Handy for transporting plant around a job site. Hardly ideal for on-highway transport. I just cringe imagining the level of extortion that would take place when the African police flag you down at a checkpoint...

I found a company in Turkey that offers trailers with more realistic (and believable) specs than the Chinese. They can offer trailers that can take a payload of up to 125 tons based on a 7 axle configuration. Roughly 18 tons per axle using 12-R22.5 tyres.
