First thing this morning I was over at Caterpillar to deliver the crate. After that was done I drove down to Decatur, Illinois and loaded a Caterpillar 773F Dump Truck Axle. It's nickname is a generic term we use for all the different axles that are transported. It is called a "banjo". I know that this one doesn't look like a banjo, but trust me, some of them really do. It is going to Houston, Texas to go on a long ocean cruise.
This axle alone weighs over 56,000 pounds (25,401 kg). You can only imagine how big the rest of the truck is. Here is a picture of one all put together.
