Found these online.I rember seeing them on mega machines also a Long time ago.There used in steel mills to dump left over slag out of the pots.IT looks like they use a cat scraper for the chassis and the rest is custom fabricated.They also use large stradle carriers based on cat scrapers too.They all huge and I thought this forum would like them.   slab carrier  heres the company that makes them. http://www.kresscarrier.com/

come on sword or TWH,you know you want to make one!!!!
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I only know of 1 person who models steel in O scale. Steel mills are so big, they're hard enough to fit things in in HO scale! I'm all for manufacturers making the same model in multiple scales. I'm not sure why they don't. There's a pretty big segregation of scales. It's almost 2 separate markets. And while you'd still have 2x the tooling costs, you could spread the research costs across the 2 scales....

I used to have an HO train layout years ago and now I'm just dabbling in both scales 1/50 and 1/87 I can't pick one or the other! ...again though sorry to go off topic I've always been interesting in the slag pot carriers. -Josh
