Pretty sure this is not the way to haul a man...

OK, I have figured it out,,,
if you load the machine sideways,, you do not need chains to hold the machine to the trailer,,

That's within the grounds of a Greek government coal mine (per the comments), with the stacks visible in the background. I was surprised to see the truck pull that load up long runs of mud-covered grades.

The other videos linked from that page are interesting too.

And who knows what the alternatives were.

Disassemble the crawler load the blade on one trailer the ripper on another,
break down the tracks load them separately;
multiple trailers, cranes and porta powers, several men tied up for a couple of days,
or load and haul get it done.

On point

New rail cars being delivered to an isolated railroad in Brazil.

Interesting tiedown method. I've never seen chains done this way before.

Right or wrong?

I don’t think it would have been nearly as hard on the trailer if they pushed up a dirt ramp first. And it probably wouldn’t take 45 seconds to build with that machine.

Only 3 miles, up to 70 mph. Both men plead not guilty in court today.

The issue would be that they were loading it in the road and that would leave a mess in the road for the next truck coming through to hit.

Truck looked like it was about to pull a wheelie.

Could have shed a few pounds if the packed dirt was removed

I have done something similar, it worked but was not ideal. His chains were too long and that was his method of not dealing with the tail end.
