Jim & Wilma Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 You might enjoy this video a coworker took today. This is the SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage that landed on a barge and returned to the Cape. Transporter is taking it to a hanger at Launch Pad 39A, one of the two Shuttle/Apollo pads that SpaceX is now leasing from NASA.

tyates007 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 That's a lot of axles and wheels. Heavy Haul trucks are pretty neat looking no matter what the brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstick Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 That is a very impressive load. It must not weigh as much as you would think judging by the overall size because half of the wheels you see in the video are actually not touching the ground. There are 6 axles in front down on the road, followed by 6 axles pinned up ( off the road). Then there is a long spacer deck with no wheels, followed by 6 axles up, then 6 axles on the road.
