A massive piece of machinery has caused a stir in a regional town as it took up the width of an entire road while being transported.
The monstrous machine was seen being transported along the South Eastern Freeway near the town of Murray Bridge, south-east of Adelaide, on Thursday.
The machinery was being escorted by South Australian Police because it was so large it reportedly damaged artificial grass as it spilled off the road.
The sight caused some of the town’s 18,000 residents to speculate what the machine could be used for and why it was passing through the town.
A monstrous piece of machinery (pictured) passing through the rural South Australian town of Murray Bridge has caused a stir as locals questioned what it possibly could be
While many theories as to what the machine was were posted by locals on Facebook, one local knew the answer.
‘These are bin sorters heading out to the SA Pine site and have been on a massive mission from Dartmoor,’ the user wrote.
A bin sorter is a piece of machinery used by saw mills to sort boards of wood by size, grade and length.
The sorter was being transported from the south-west Victorian town of Dartmoor, whose own sawmill had gone defunct.
‘The logistics were incredible with Victorian police, SAPOL and SA Power,’ the user wrote.
The machinery, confirmed as a bin sorter, is used to sort boards of wood by size, grade and length, and was being transported to a nearby timber supplier for short-term storage
The machine was being transported to SA Pine, a supplier of timber building materials, whose site is just west of Murray Bridge.
‘We are storing that for another company, KSI Sawmills,’ Ian Robinson, SA Pine’s general manager, confirmed to The Messenger.
The machine will be held by SA Pine until KSI Sawmills is prepared to have it installed.
Once the company is ready, the machine will then continue its journey to KSI Sawmill’s site an hour north in Nuricopta.
