Bigger than Big and just big

 Another big load coming out of the port today was this giant transformer.

It took a tri-axle dolly/trailer/dolly rig built by Temisko to carry the unit.

Total Transport + Rigging used their big International HX to haul it out of the port area.

I expect it will be handed over to a Quebec truck at some point, since the trailer had Quebec plates.

Although it is difficult to see in the top photo, the lead escort truck had a clearance pole mounted on its front bumper. (There was a trailing escort too).

The transformer was not the only unusual load leaving the port. A pair of Swedish-built Dynapac vibratory rollers got a ride behind an interesting Peterbilt.


The Pete had a large low rise sleeper and was carrying a Day + Ross sticker. Day + Ross may be better  known for LTL, dry van and temperature controlled hauling but has a substantial flatbed business too.

And to round off the big truck show today was this day cab Kenworth hauling what I believe is scaffolding and deck components. The truck's owners, A.W.Leil operate large cranes, but also run crane equipped semi tractor / boom trucks.

And yes he did make it around that corner without spilling anything, but I hope he checked his straps before going too much farther.
