More Heavies

 I have seen a few more oversize loads waiting for permits:

XLR Transport from Montreal had a Junttan PM16 pile driving rig. Built in Finland the unit has a working weight of 37,000 kg. The all white KW looks good too, hauling a four axle MANAC trailer with two axle dolly.

 

Parked next for a while was another truck from Quebec:

TMF Heavy Haul from Mascouche had this German made Bauer BG36H / BS95 mobile rotary drilling rig on a big three axle Aspen trailer with a two axle extension and two axle dolly. In contrast to the previous rig the three axle Kenworth W990 with mid-rise sleeper was in basic black.

Seeing the two together points out the contrast between the traditional long hood design and the W990, introduced in 2018.

 The local company TDR (part of the Dexter / Municipal Group) had this Metso Lokotrak LT 106 rock crusher from Finland - probably for one of their own quarries:

Their Western Star only needed a single axle dolly to spread out the load from the three axle trailer.

J.D.Irving Ltd's large fleet of trucks includes this daycab Freightliner with a third axle.It is used to haul components for JDI's crane business, particularly the large ballast weights needed to keep the cranes on the ground.

The set-back front axle unit is equipped with a big "headache rack"and a pair of stacks that are set well in behind the cab.

J.D.Irving Ltd is the parent company for Irving Shipbuilding Inc, operators of the Halifax Shipyard. The yard recently launched a new ship, and used a fleet of Self Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs) to move the ship onto the launch barge. JDI appears to own some SPMTs, but brings in more when needed. Some come by ships from Fagioli in Europe. The SPMTs are built by Scheuerle.

Others apparently come from other parts of the world. I noted this one labelled "Berard", which is a company based in New Iberia, LA. I believe they also manage the moves. The interesting thing about the photo is the truck hauling the unit is a Day and Ross Volvo. Day and Ross is also a New Brunswick based company and are competitors with Irving in the trucking business, and it is indeed rare to see any Irving related business going to Day and Ross.
