Just something to consider here.
Whatever this is, the type of flatbed it is being transported on, as well as the shape of the load bearing tires on the rig suggest to me that the weight of the object is less than what it's size may suggest.
If the object were heavy, like a hydro turbine or even a large earth mover's tire on a rim, I would think it would be transported on a lower flatbed with three trailing axles, the kind that can be set right down on the ground for load on and load off.
These also allow for a lower center of gravity and a less top heavy load.
What ever this is cannot be too terribly heavy.

Just My Two Cents

P.S. Can't offer any ideas as to what it is though.
