Biglorryblog's 'Good man in Africa' and unashamed user of unreconstructed non-politically-correct comments has fired this delightful lot over to BLB with the accompanying comment:
"Interesting comparison looking at these between how the camel jockeys move their rigs around compared to us here, where our roads and bridges often don't even give you a conventional shipping containers width safely."
Jerry contunes: "In the mid East, width of no concern, or length for that matter either probably, as not too many roundabouts out in the desert when I was last there! Or low tree branches to smear your top drive off against... Still rather be here though."
It's true what JB says about width....now click through here for more and fun with winches too...
And for a pie who can tell me what's pulling this big pile of wotnot...?
And what a pile it is too...anyone any idea what it is or does?
Presumably the front end does make contact with terra firma in the end? Or else the steering will be a little, hopw shall we say, light? And as I don't have details on who took the pictures I can't credit the photographer but if they ring a bell send me your details and I'll happily credit you. Unless it's JB hisself...?
Great stuff Jerry and BLB. Guaranteed to turn my crank anyway!
Obviously a Kenworth, is it a C500? In the last photo it looks as if Cam McFadyen might have had a hand in the design, a slightly modified version of one of his tilt-trays perhaps?
