For those who missed it. 1 generator. 6 trucks and a Shitload of awesome 😄.
Best spot to watch it coming up mattingley hill, all the trucks just going full noise shuffling down gears as they slowed down to keep all 650T hauling up the hill.

30 January 2018

Between the 1st and 4th of February, a 256-tonne generator will be transported from Traralgon to the Port of Melbourne.

This is a very time conscious and complex operation due to the size and overall weight involved in moving the generator. The transport vehicle will be 108m in length, 6.5m wide, 5m tall and will weigh in at 650 tonnes. Because of these factors it will also travel very slowly, at about 20km/h.

We’ll have a crew on site for the whole operation, making sure your roads stay safe during and after the move. They’ll be assisting it to get the vehicle safely around corners, temporarily removing signage and lights, placing steel supports over existing drainage and then putting everything back in place once the vehicle has passed.

I've sent it to my brother for my nephew... unfortunately we're not sure it's going to be going near them at a sensible hour of the day... oh well...
