Moving hundreds of tons is not an easy task. Here's how it's done.
Ships are big. Even a small section of a ship can weigh hundreds of tons, and during the construction of large ships, sometimes those sections have to be moved from one end of the shipyard to the other. As you might imagine, this isn't exactly easy to do.
These machines are usually used in the construction and oil industries for transporting massive hauls too big for trucks. They typically come with several axles that can turn independently, allowing the transporter to move sideways, spin in place, and maneuver very precisely.
All that control is important because of the dire consequences if something goes wrong. If the transporter turns a little too slowly, or if it hits a pothole in the shipyard, the whole thing could come crashing down. It's a dangerous job, but this monster flatbet is up for it.
