Seen that a couple of times in the past as well. Those fuckers are HUGE!
First time?
A couple years ago I worked in Diegem and came from Wuustwezel every day, I did early/late shifts at first and then flipped over to nightshifts. I had to drive 45 minutes on the E19 every day.
Around 22-23h I’d see them a tonne. Sometimes twice a week.
Really drives home how big these things are
Don’t film and drive

Filming while driving? Not cool. Please hand in your driver’s license at the nearest police station.
You could’ve driven underneath them!
Windmills; destroyers of beautiful landscapes.
So?

It has christmas lights!
I once merged on the highway right in the middle of such a convoy because the police did not manage to block me in time. I nearly shit my pants when I saw what was riding next to me,absolutely titanic.
I safely slowed down and let the convoy and its escorts pass by
you’ll never guess what they do to these things once they exceed their service lifetime of a decade or two
Just outside Craeybeckx? When was this? I think I saw it driving in the opposite direction.
Should post this on /r/megalophobia
I see them like every month or two, do you guys go outside after 7pm or?
The current generation of onshore windturbines have blades up to 80m (Vestas V162 turbine). for offshore, new turbines are currently in development with blade lengths up to 120m. The first Vestas V236 prototype turbine was started up just before new year, and serial production is expected to start by the end of the year, and the competitors (SGRE) are expected to follow soon. These will be 15MW turbines, or 3x the capacity of the first generation of offshore turbine that were build on the Belgian coast…

Don’t use your phone while driving, you’ll kill someone like that
I’ve seen these in the mountains in Ethiopia. Now taking curves with them is scary looking.
I’m surprised by how fast they’re going, I thought a convoy like that would’ve been going really slowly
Probably difficult to parallel park with that.
It’s all fun and games untill the gps says take the second to the right on the roundabout
I walked along one of those convoys when they were inching through the town centre a couple of months back. you really get to appreciate the size of those things when walking right next to them.
Some really impressive driving with sometimes less than half a meter clearing in certain bends and roundabouts.
What’s also cool is the amount of infrastructure work that went into clearing the route to get them to the place they need to go, some trees cut down, signes removed, a bunch of groundwork/steel plates whenever a corner is too tight and a huge slope on the last 100 meters.
That’s my job. We usually roll with 3 haulers. Best job ever
