Wow, that is huge! With all the permits, cost of a rig like that, trucking must be expensive. A rig like that would need to be kept moving or lotsa bucks sitting idle in the yard.

So that is what one of those trucks looks like from the front, eh? I spend most of my days following oversize rigs like this. Just today I had a lady in a car try to get off an exit she had already passed....By stopping in front of the load! You can't beleive how stupid folks get around a rig like this..

Hey George,

Where do you work? Dad worked for a company down in S. Ohio called Milacron. They made plastic injection molding machines and the like. He had a number of pics of rigs like that haulin out machines. Sadly his days there ended on an unhappy note after 25 years working there. Laid him off and he aint been back since. Interesting pic. God bless.

I'm over in N.Y. We don't build em, we just use/abuse them. I should say, they use/abuse them. I'm one of the guys that has to keep em running. We have a few of the older Cinncinati Miacrons. I think on the newer ones. They droped the Cinncinati part off the name.

That would be Cinncinati Milicron - Once the premier machine builder in the US. Excellent Milling machines and grinders especially. I don't know if they survived the Japanese / asian onslought. Knew a couple of guys that worked there, but all our new machines are Japanese. Irv

On the truck in the picture. Is the clamp half of the press. It's a 2000 ton Battenfeld. It's an older model. One movable platen. We just got rid of a 990 ton Engel today. It left at about noon EST. And is headed west from Canandaigua N.Y. on I-90. It't on a truck a little smaller than the one in the picture. The smallest press we have is a 75 ton Vandorn.

I'm stoopid. You are giving the rating of the press, not the weight on the truck, right?

Thats the rating of the press. It produces 2000 tons per square inch. I was going to look up the weight of the press today. But,I forgot about it til I got home.

0 hours..... ..

Most likely has automatic tire pressure control. Works off the air to release the air brakes.

It looks very simular to a equalizer set up with a tube run to the center of the bearing hub.

The line comes out the axle and has a fitting where the red plug normally goes. (Where you check the oil for your bearing hubs) The fitting is set up to spin on the out side with the wheels and stay still inside the axle. You hook the equalizer to this fitting. It is made where it will allow only a very small amount of air out at a time. While it would take hours to toally fill a tire with this line it has hours to work under normal conditions because the tires are already full. In a blow out situation the air would leak but it is so slow and only at one point that the air compressor can keep up with it.
