A major move was on Friday afternoon in the town of Wagoner. The city's main street was shut down while a company loaded up a giant heat exchanger.

The device works like a radiator and is headed for a refinery in Minnesota. The large load drew a crowd as heavy-duty cranes loaded the exchanger, which is as tall as a house. It's so big, it'll take two trucks to steer it.

Steve Costigan with SC Piping and Mechanical: "It'll have one in front, one in back - a push-pull situation. So as it goes around the corner, the back truck will be turning this way, so it can make a 90 degree corner."

The rig creeped down Wagoner city streets on its way. It will take more than a week on the road for the exchanger to get to Minnesota.
