Largest thing I have ever seen on wheels was a 1400 ton vessel for a refinery in Teaxs City TX.
They off loaded it from a ship and placed it on a multi axle dolly with each set of duals hydraulically controlled for weight and for steering. To pull it, they used a Euclid truck with a bunch of weight on the back for traction.

I used to work for Hitachi who's largest hydraulic mining shovel weighs 1.1 million pounds. It has a 36 yd bucket and will do one pass in about 28-29 seconds. It came on many trucks and is assembled on site. To see really big iron, look at one of the large drag lines. 4-5 million pounds.
