Beyel Brothers Oversize Load Bluff, UtahMay 19, 2007. Several private RV-Parks were available in Bluff, where we spent the night. We chose Cottonwood Campground. The others were just as nice. Also one mile west of town is Sand Island Dept. of the Interior Campground with no utilites. It was OK as well.
Beyel Brothers Heavy Hauling with an extreme "oversize load" outside Bluff, Utah
About 2-miles west of Bluff, Utah US-191 meets US-163 it was at this junction that we came across this HUGE "Oversize Load" negotiating the right angle turn. Talk about big, this thing was big. It not only had a big diesel semi in front there was one in back pushing as well.

In this picture you can see both the pulling truck as well as the pushing truck. Note that the man is still at the rear steering wheel after negotiating that turn.
Oversize Load stopping for the night
They were stopping in the pull out at this intersection for the weekend. It is Saturday and road construction in Arizona is prohibiting them from continuing into Arizona until sometime Monday.

This is how the truck in back is connected. The driver of this truck helps push up hills and helps with breaking as well.

Weight distribution on Beyel Brothers oversize load
Folks that truck is a long way from where this barrel starts. Additionally, that is a lot of rubber on the road. If by chance you need any heavy hauling done you might contact Beyel Brothers Crane & Rigging, if they can trasport this huge cylinder they can move anything.

It just so happened that another "oversize-load" was having to wait in Bluff, Utah for the Arizona road construction as well.

This piece of specialized machinery appears to be a ditch digging machine used to lay those huge pipes that transport oil and natural gas across the country.
