Trucking Heavy

On the south coast, a crack team of heavy hauliers are continuing their record-breaking challenge, as they shift a 150-tonne reactor and a 195-tonne transformer across Sussex to an electrical substation in Ninfield.

In Lincolnshire, 36-year heavy haulage veteran Steve Moss's two-day mission is to deliver a 60-tonne reel of electrical cable for an ambitious green energy scheme. Meanwhile in Warwickshire, a three-tonne statue needs taking to its new home.

Driver Zack steers his 144-wheeled, 60-ton trailer from Warwickshire to Worksop to first load and then take a 190-ton reel of steel crane cable to Immingham docks, being careful of risk-taking car drivers along the way.

The crew in the northeast collects a whopping 255-tonne transformer bound for a substation in Woodmansey, while back at HQ it's all hands to the pumps when the team needs to prepare a giant girder frame.

Veteran driver Col is in for a demanding week when he takes on the challenge of two mammoth moves. First he has to tackle a 63-tonne cable reel, hopefully leaving enough time for his second cargo.

Two 94-tonne electrical transformers bound for a green energy project arrive by ferry from Rotterdam. Veteran heavy haulier Gavin and his protégé Rob must transport them from Immingham Dock in Lincolnshire to Aberdeen.

The second day of the haul of two 94-tonne transformers destined for a green energy project will be even more challenging. Just 16 miles in, another tyre burst forces a layby pitstop, and there's a bigger problem yet to come.

At Avonmouth Dock in Bristol, project manager Simon and the team face a huge day of moving some massive industrial units that have arrived on a vessel from India. The units need to be moved from the quayside into the storage area.

In the Midlands heavy Haulier Colin Chisnall has a heavyweight problem. A 107 tonne transformer needs shifting from the outskirts of Walsall to the yard in Studley.
