How to transport giant trucks
CanadaThe distance is only 7 km, but the Caterpillar 797 truck cannot move on its own, but has to rely on a special “carrier”.
If a vehicle needs to be loaded, and if the payload is twice as heavy as the truck, then a superlift will be required.
In this story, the item is the largest truck in the world Caterpillar 797 (or Cat 797) with a weight of more than 500 tons, and the “carrier” is the multinational company Mammoet that provides transportation services. especially. The journey starts from Fort McKay, Northern Alberta to the mines in Wood Buffalo, Alberta, with a distance of 7 km.
Cat 797 cannot travel only 7 km on its own. If rolling on the road, the giant truck will be like an elephant standing on four paper drink boxes – meaning the box will be flat, because the excess weight distributed on only 6 wheels will break the road surface. . Therefore, Cat 797 must be transported by a special trailer, and the shipment must be completed before rush hour. It all takes the maximum effort of both humans and machines.
