TRANSPORTING EXCEPTIONAL LOADS
Truckstar

Each of the exceptional loads shown in this programme was a project requiring individual attention and equipment. Perhaps the highlight is the road transport of a Boeing 747 on three different trailers to a German museum. Although the fuselage of the aircraft was 70 metres long and 18 metres high it is not the largest item on the DVD.

That was the new bollard-shaped head office of the Dutch company Mammoet seen transported whole over land and water to its permanent site. Other items include the transport of bridge sections, boats and a pair of valuable equestrian bronze statues.

Throughout the programme, the skills of the transport companies and their personnel are explained and a feature is included on how modular trailers are built.
