    Seems like another bit of yankee BS, there are multi axle modules that can carry far more weight than that dozer and only use 1 Prime Mover

    You would think the modular platform units would be the most likely way to move this dozer. However those platform modules are about 2 feet taller than those RGN trailers at their lowest height. That D11T with the single shank Permafrost ripper and 23 ft wide blade only weighs 124 to 128 tons, but it is already over 15-1/2 feet tall sitting on the ground put it on a module unit and your are looking at close to 20 feet loaded height.
    It can be driven onto the RGN trailers without ramps but to load it on a module you need a portable ramp then to haul it the prime mover would require a 30 ton weight mounted on it the weight of the dozer the weight of the modules the mafia block and the truck would exceed the available power so a pusher truck would be required with an additional 30 ton mafia block, additionally another flatbed to haul the ramps plus a crane to load and unload the ramps
    Side by side hauling is not all that uncommon when transporting from one mine to another with in the same state of providence , way faster and a lot more economical to twin up and haul it this way
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
