    528 tires each appearing to have 1 sq ft of contact area with the ground assuming pneumatic tires inflated to 125PSI would place that structure plus the weight of the rolling equipment at a gross weight of approximately 4752 tons, but it could be as much as a1000 tons less or more

    I don't imagine they made any turns.

    Actually Ralph, those modular platform haulers are capable of independently rotating each axle. By controlling them with a computer the entire load can be rotated 180° with minimal forward or reversed movement. When empty or up to a certain percentage of total load capacity it is possible for a single row of modules to pirouette. When using multiple rows if a rotate in place is required it is best to have an even number of rows this allows for all tires to be rolling to some extent. For odd number of rows or a single row a few sets of the centermost tires relative to the rotating axis will have their loading reduced or even raised clear of the ground
