What's this wide load ?

My guess wind turbine blade.

Blades for a wind generator.

First loads look like blade assemblies for a wind turbine and the second could be the high voltage switch room?

Ha ha, thanks for the replies, but read the OP.
Video section starting at 0:51.

I think I tracked down the answer anyway, just looked up Robin Johnson Engineering, they specialise in wind farm manufacture, so the wide load (big heavy room) is related, possibly tied up to the blade delivery earlier, which was further up the road . . .

They are in Adelaide, so I guess there is a new wind farm being built or extended in Vic somewhere.

Yes the blades are for wind turbines but the building may not be all that heavy.
If the building is part of the windfarm they will have to negotiate uphill tracks to the site in the hillswhichcan be damp of loose surface. Just one truck can pull it uphill, but where traction becomes an issue the front truck with the traction block above the bogie drive has to be there to provide surety of delivery. It will have traction independent of the main unit. No good having it slide backwards uncontrolled down the hillside.
The front prime mover is insurance.

PS. I thought a Balckvue DR650 would see number plates clearer than the pilot car plate is. Been looking and can't decide on one.

The first two loads are definitely wind turbine blades. The second larger load is obvioulsy very heavy. It houses much more than a control room etc for the wind turbines. I would say there was a large 3 phase transformer and inverter inside that box/building (assuming that it was indeed part of the Wind Turbine from the earlier recording).

We have 4 or five a day through town. We have two farms being built just north of us

Hi Les

That is an easy one and everyone is correct

It is one of the blades for a new wind turbines.

We have seen them lots of time and when you see them open road under Police escort, the amount of flex is unreal.

The switch room is for the Bulgana Wind Farm, here are 2 pictures stuck at the intesection of the Western hwy and Vincent Street Ararat this afternoon.
