We were called to assist moving this compactor in Pitsea landfill site, which had previously suffered an engine fire and been stationary for 2 years. It would have been a fairly straight forward job, however there is a railway bridge 2 miles from the site which is the only road in/out. The bridge is in need of repairs thus a weight limit of 44T has been imposed. As the compactor weighs in around 53T, it was stripped down, drained of fluids, road tyres fitted etc in order to bring down the weight to approx. 40T. Once loaded onto a low loader in the tip, it was transported to the bridge where we unloaded it and winched across the bridge. It was then picked up on the under-lift and moved up the road to allow the low loader enough room to re-position on the other side. We reversed it over the trailer, where it was secured and transported to Wales for a complete overhaul.
