Staffordshire Police escort a large 225 tonne medical grade oxygen tank through Stafford before coming to rest near Cannock in Staffordshire, UK.

The 225 tonne oxygen tank, belonging to AirLiquide, was empty during transport. The load was 49m long, 6.5m high and 4.9m wide and transported by Collett Ltd. Due to the abnormally large size, police were available to shut down junctions and escort the convoy through South Staffordshire. Various staff were on hand to cut trees, lift BT cables and move roadside furniture to allow for the safe passage of the vehicle.

The load was 1 of 4 to pass through the county of Staffordshire in approximately 6 weeks. Due to the difficult movement of the load and the fact it wont fit on motorways, the journey of each load took 5 days to pass through the county, including populated areas of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Rugeley, Cannock, Sutton Coldfield and other places. It took a week to travel from Ellesmere Port to Coleshill.

This video was filmed on day 3 of 5 of the journey through Staffordshire, which came from Cheshire and was heading to Warwickshire. You can see my video of day 1 here: [ Ссылка ]
