ALE Heavylift performed a movement of an electrical transformer weighing in at around 230 tonnes from Stella (Blaydon) to Wallsend overnight from 15th August to 16th August. On arrival at Swan Hunters in Wallsend it's to be shipped by barge to Ellesmere Port where it will be put back on the road to be taken to its destination of Oldbury. Seen at the North End of the Tyne Tunnel at East Howdon, the convoy is seen waiting to continue along Hadrian Road to Wallsend. The move was powered by a pair of ALE Trojan 8870 trucks with BX64KSE at the front with BX65OAW powering from the rear.

ALE Heavylift performed two moves from Siemens on Shields Road in Walkergate to Neptune Energy Park in Low Walker for loading onto a barge. ALE Trojan 8870 BX65OAZ is seen in Low Walker turning from Fisher Street.into Neptune Energy Park in Low Walker.
The "Jumbo Kinetec" is a conventional heavy lift vessel but in its class, it presently has the the largest lifting capacity in the world.
The vessel was built in Croatia and then sailed to China to have the two Huisman cranes installed.
When you have a (combined) lifting capacity of 3000 tons, the spreader bar has to be of similar capacity.
The vessel is in Antwerp to load powerplant equipment and is seen here at a lay by berth at the ABES Terminal at the 5th Haven dock preparing for the cargo.
It came in from Rostock where it loaded two Liebherr port cranes destined for India.

TROJAN 8870 ballast tractors which are without doubt “The” next generation tractors in the heavylift industry! Produced in the UK, the most significant feature of the Trojan is its unique ability to link with multiple tractor units in a command and drone convoy. Linked mechanically by drawbars and/or “A” frames as required, by air and by the Electronic Controller Area Network Bus System which significantly reduces the amount of vehicle electrical wiring, relays and switches. The vehicle’s Electronic Control Units are constantly monitored and the command vehicle controls all vehicles in the convoy with no limit to the number of vehicles in convoy. Steering, electrics, engine and transmission output are synchronised by computer on all units thus providing matched gear, rpm and torque. Similarly vehicle braking, engine compression braking and transmission retardation is controlled identically.
Trojan’s design weight is 72,000kg but will nominally run as a 48,000kg ballast tractor. The truck is powered by a Volvo Penta TAD1662VE in-line six cylinder Turbo intercooled engine meeting Euro 5 emission standards coupled to an Allison M6620AR fully automatic 6 speed gearbox, integral torque converor, PTO and retarder. Auxiliiary transmission is provided by a Kessler VG2500, 2 speed transfer case giving built in torque proportioning - one third to the two front axles and two thirds to the rear two axles thus providing ratios: Low range 2.07:1 High range 1.03:1. The front suspension comprises Dana twin steer bevel hub reduction with inter axle and cross axle diff locks suspended on slipper ended semi elliptical parabolic leaf springs and heavy duty hydraulic telescopic dampers. Rear axles are Kessler tandem, spiral bevel, hub reduction with pneumatic inter axle and cross lockable differentials suspended on Hendrickson manufactured 48t 6 rod twin high articulation semi elliptic multi leaf springs, which are trunnion mounted. Braking is an all axle dual circuit ABS S cam drum type with emergency spring braking. Parking brakes operate on all axles. The system is operated by compressed air produced by a hydraulically controlled high output auxiliary compressor with heated air dryer to service and secondary reservoirs. Front tyres are Michelin XZL24R21 on/off road singles with rear twins being DoubleCoin 1400R25.

Boeing N747BC was sitting on the new ramp at Fairbanks International this morning while I was on my way to a meeting. The light was right and the weather was calm, (not raining!) and I couldn't pass her up.
I use to work for Boeing at Flight Test and I can only imagine all the work that the guys put into making this wonderful aircraft She now hauls 787 sections between the contienents to Everett for the finally assembly.
The pond is the only one left surrounding the airport and made for a special shot.
Thanks Boeing!! Miss ya!!
Update: Found out that she was in town due to the ash from the volcano's down on the Aluetien chain.

Main road through Thurso had no parking bollards along part of it, also thought I heard a truck go past the house early this morning, hence not surprised to find this at Scrabster.
