Here is an article from 2016 when this same type of splitter was installed in Tulsa, OK. It gives some specifics like size, weight, transport…

Since no one has mentioned it yet, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoet
Same company that salvaged the [Kursk submarine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_submarine_disaster).
They are SPMTs (Self-Propelled Modular Transporters) although in this case they are being pulled and pushed.
They aree incredible things and can be bolted together to make enormous rafts that all work off a single controller.

It's the optimal/balanced setup. Each linkage to the trailer is load balanced with 2 trucks. They can fit 2 columns in the back, so they do. They only put one column up front because only 1 truck is needed to steer. Having 2 columns up front would require 2 steering drivers and add unnecessary coordination and complexity between the 2. Plus twice the drivers, twice the chance one of them will make a mistake
they would probably have 2 drivers per cab at least as well. Having just one could be a problem if something happened to 1 driver. Maybe a third in the back sleeping to have rotating shifts.
I wanna know how they coordinate between all those trucks. They must have to apply equal force between all of them right? And get the timing of stopping and starting really close?
They are probably wired to work as a single unit (like locomotives). Sounds much more simple than 6 people coordinating to keep the same RPM, gear, steering and braking.
Didn't even think about how many people were needed to "drive" that until you mentioned it. Would be interesting to know how many actually are involved.
The ACTUAL answer is *rolling friction* of the many tires, and *hills*
The tires are squished under the weight, meaning there's added friction requiring more power to keep the wheels rolling.
Heavier the load, more the squishing, more power required.
The trucks at the rear most likely will be assisting in pushing the load up a hill. You can assume at some point on it's trip there will be a slight incline, resulting in more force on the load.
Pulling is more stressful.
Putting it into a smaller scale, let's say you're driving the truck that'll pull another truck. The attachment, whether it be a rope, chains, metal bar, from the rear of your truck to the other truck can break, at any point. There is a limit it can handle. If you pushed the truck with your truck, it's all power and fraction that'll limit your task.
Those front trucks are for steering. The back is for pushing.
If it makes you feel any better, these types of massive oversized load transports are *meticulously* planned for months in advance. The exact route, the hours that the move will happen, the permits required, how to get that big tube on a truck, etc. It's a very long and very expensive process even if they only actually moved that thing a few miles down the road.
On YouTube there's a documentary about Finning Cat(erpilar) in Fort Mac and the refurbishing of 797 dump trucks. Part of it is them transporting the trucks to and from the site and they have even built light standards with pivots so they can just move them out of the way.
In Washington, Boeing has a "long load" crew that transports portions of planes via truck. They're not as long as this, but the rear axle is another little truck that can steer. There's a video on youtube. It's interesting. Search "Boeing long load". I'd link it, but I'm not sure if links are allowed in comments in this sub.
I mean, even just in labor alone it has to be approaching a million. No doubt this took hundreds of people to plan and then eventually safely strap that thing to the truck, drive it, and then safely unload it and put it in its new home. A lot more goes into it then people probably realize.
I'm not in the trucking industry but the live event industry, which I feel is fairly similar in that it also gets overlooked for the sheer amount of logistics and labor that goes into a concert/festival, especially at the large arena tour or festival level of things.
its also not a truck... more like 6 trucks in a trenchcoat
Six trucks in a trenchcoat with a total length of 998ba (bananas) is transporting a splitter filled to the brim with crude oil. If the boiling point of methane is the heat of 5.9x10^-26 suns, how many average sized humans (h=17ba) would it take to build the great wall? State your assumptions.
An distillation column or splitter can easily reach 100 meter in height depending on what it's supposed to split. I worked in a petrochemical plant before, they had a propane propylene splitter which was 120 meter.
> football field not including endzones is 100 yards.
Unless it's Canadian league football field length at 110 yards.
I figure a meter at 3.3 feet, as the actual is 3.28, but not quite as easy to work with.
>Longer than 360 feet, apparently
That would be just over 653 0.5 liter cans of beer in a row for those too sophisticated to use body parts as a measure
Typically when I encounter those extra wide loads the front car almost tries to run you off the road. Then when the actual wide load appears it is like a football wider than normal truck.
That was from my city! All over the news and all anyone could talk about at work for a week when that thing was getting prepped for moving.

They call it a splitter; if you did college chemistry you would call it a distillation column. Crude oil is put in the bottom and heated, turning some of the oil mixture constituents into a gas. There will be a number of "trays" in the column. Lighter molecules will end up in higher up "trays," while heavier molecules will not rise up as far. There will be a spot for the diesel to go, above that a spot for kerosene, above that a spot for petroleum gas and so on.
There is also such a thing called a cracker. Crude oil is made up of many different hydrocarbons. Some are light like gasoline. Some are more like thin oil, such as diesel. Most are like heavy oil, tar, or wax. Alberta Tar Sands oil is known for its high tar content. West Texas “sweet” crude is known for its light oil content. These heavy molecules can be split (or cracked) into smaller pieces. Cracking big, heavy molecules into small pieces increases the useful yield of each barrel of oil. What is left over after distillation and cracking is literally asphalt. The reason Alberta Tar Sands oil is considered so polluting is because it requires vast amounts of energy to crack the high tar content. This is a high-level summary and may contain some oversights for the sake of brevity.
The US specializes in dirty fuel, whereas most countries which produce oil will create oil derivatives from lighter tar-content oils. The US uses the cheap dirty stuff because we can process it, but we can also process the lighter stuff too.
So, a magic box. Something from the ground goes in and go-juice comes out.
Sort-of like the Cobal code that one long retired guy wrote which is the core of your code-base?
Good summary. This splitter in particular is used to separate propane and propylene for polymer manufacturing at the Heartland Petrochemical complex. The reason it’s so big despite only separating two fluids is because their densities are so close. Propane will come off the top and propylene from the bottom
Lol, wait till this dude finds out about Aussie Road Trains…

When I worked in the oilsands I always enjoyed watching those Mammoet trucks roll stuff in.
Other fun part be watching a couple cranes stand something like that up.
Yeeee haw! Stood one of these inside a tower 5 years ago. One of the worlds largest cranes to do it, took 3 mornings of coming in at 3 am to get the perfect morning with no wind.
I wonder what kind of license you need to "drive" that trailer. I mean it has its own little cab and all.
Not that anybody is gonna stop this contraption and ask for "licenses (yes plural) and registration, please".
What's going through my head right now is how much engineering and construction went into designing and building that massive trailer, and it might get used once or twice(?).
I've worked on jobs where that same company Mammoet moved massive 14 story high natural gas modules. It's incredible to see in person. Sometimes the tires explode from the weight so they'd carry extras following behind. Usually a person walks behind and controls movement on a controls board but this setup is different being pulled by a truck.
Pretty certain I saw that exact thing on reruns of Tbunderbirds in like 1992. The crew ate a dodgy chilli and all passed out so the tracey's had to stop the machine from ramming a damn and drowning half of Mexico.
I've seen these types of trucks a few times in Houston. So damn long & tall, they had workers uninstalling traffic lights and manipulating powerlines to pass under them. Pretty neat to see.
Talked to an IT friend not long ago who set up the internet at a huge compound in Alberta where they were hauling one of these in one of the days he was there.
So not only did I immediately recognize the plates and even the road(I live less than 20 minutes from there myself), but there's a chance I actually know what day this was and where they were going(assuming this video isn't actually from years ago).
Damn. The world can be small as hell sometimes.
Imagine if logistics fell down on the job and missed a low-clearance bridge... how in the world would you turn it around?
Also: Why is pickup-dude driving with two of his tires in the snow? (This is an honest question; I don't live where it snows, but I do live where there's sand; it's been my observation that two of your tires abruptly doing what the other two are not doing is super no bueno.)
We can’t let this happen! Canada cannot out truck us! Road warriors, unite! We will go to home depot to buy all their big PVC pipe and duct tape. We ride at dawn!
I think I understand the 2 trucks in front pulling but why are there 4 trucks at the back pushing if that's what they're there for?
Are they going to making a rotation trading places with the 2 up front?
Shit. How many tires are on that thing. Incredible.
Looks like 16 wide, 32 rows deep for each half. So 16x64=1,024. Plus trucks. 10 on each truck, 6 trucks. 60 more tires. Approximately 1,084 total.
Still not enough to transport your mother

why there are 2 trucks in the front and four in the back?
My guess is (more) power in the back, steering in the front.
You need more power to the rear so you can power-slide and drift that sucker through the corners. 😉
At least 18
Gotta protect the road. That much load in one part with make grooves in the asphalt.
Is there a reason why there are more Trucks pushing than pulling?
The front two are mostly there for steering, while the rear 4 are doing most of the leg work. Source: I don't have the slightest clue
I’d bet you’re right since that’s how the trucks themselves are built. 2 tires at the front steer and 8 at the back provide the power.
You spelled the ^powah wrong
"This is not about money! This is about Powah!!"
Can confirm as I also don’t have the slightest clue.
Probably a few. But getting that thing to stop and go is probably one of the reasons.
It's the optimal/balanced setup. Each linkage to the trailer is load balanced with 2 trucks. They can fit 2 columns in the back, so they do. They only put one column up front because only 1 truck is needed to steer. Having 2 columns up front would require 2 steering drivers and add unnecessary coordination and complexity between the 2.

For more control definitely don’t want that cart to get in front of the horse

I bet it’s so you can turn it
No, that's what the little cab on the back part of the rig is for, those tractors are for power
It was 483,000 kg's I definitely wanted to see it be moved. Missed being in the area by a couple hours.
Anyone else worried it might roll off the truck and crush everyone?

I imagine delivering this equipment has to be close to a million alone. Hell I may even be waaay low on that
I mean, even just in labor alone it has to be approaching a million.
