A large 225 tonne medical grade oxygen tank makes it's way down the wrong side of the A34 escorted by Staffordshire Police with siren and lights in Newcastle-under-Lyme, UK
The 225 tonne oxygen tank, belonging to Air Liquide, was empty. The load was 49m long, 6.5m high and 4.9m wide and transported by Collett Ltd. Due to the abnormally large size, police were available to shut down junctions and escort the convoy down the wrong side of the A34 into the town centre. Various staff were on hand to cut trees, lift BT cables and move roadside furniture to allow for the safe passage of the vehicle.
The load was 1 of 4 to pass through the county of Staffordshire in a period of approximately 6 weeks. Due to the difficult movement of the load and the fact it wont fit on motorways, the journey of each load took 5 days to pass through the county of Staffordshire, including populated areas of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Rugeley, Cannock, Sutton Coldfield and other places.
This video was filmed on day 1 of 5.
