285 Tons Going Up...285 Tons Going Down
On August 16th, 2011, Precision Heavy Haul was on their last leg of the movement of a 285 ton anode from where it was built in Salt Lake City, Utah, to it's final destination at the Freeport-McMoRan copper and gold mine in Miami, Arizona. The first scene shows the large unit being pulled / pushed up the 6% grade out of the Tonto Basin, with Roosevelt Lake visible in the distance. The next scene has the heavy load being eased down the 7% grade east of the basin. In the first scene notice how the torque of the lead trucks engine has the drivers side lifted about six inches higher than the passeger side! As you'll see on the downgrade, the bumper is now parallel with the road because the truck is no longer pulling.
