Makes my little 9A look like a toy!
I hauled a larger one once, took up most of the 48' trailer and had to be split in the canter to load.

Not really, not big enough to set it up properly. The outfit that had it was vacating a building complex and they were selling everything, they didn't even have a price on this one, as they were just going to leave it behind. I knew the new owners had no use for it and where it would end up.
There was also the biggest Fosdick radial drill I've ever seen, no takers on it last I was aware...........................my feverish mind was trying to save it, but it was just too big for my trailers. IIRC the column was 22 inches in diameter, I guestimated it would weigh at least 7 tons.
That’s probably a conservative estimate. I own a Fosdick 12” column 54” all hydraulic clamp, column, lift, & rapids. It weighs 8 tons without the box table
