What Is This Machine?

[x635 4,066]

I see many large machines and large parts of machines on the back of trucks up and down I-35. However, this one was parked at a safety rest area and sparked my curiosity? What is this machine, and what does it do? It's bug and red, so I was thinking it may be firefighting related.

I know it's owned by Haliburton, and it's most likely going to the Port Of Galveston to be shipped overseas.

So Seth, everything bIg & red is for firefighting? You should have asked the driver.

It's either a large pump or a extremely large mobile generator.

I'll throw my 2 cents in. Looks like a cement injector.

Did a little google investigating, and that's exactly what it looks like for a geo-thermal energy line.

It's a cryogenically-cooled mobile document shredder enroute to BP Headquarters in Louisiana.

Just open up your toy chest and take out your code3 Super Pumper. That should hold you over.

Almost correct, but no cigar ... It's a Tuna Salad injector. It's en-route to a local 'Subway' sandwich shop.

It says Halliburton on the side, so one thing we know it does is waste taxpayer money

It is a pump for Hydrofracking. They line up a hole bunch of them along with a bunch of other equipment pump stuff into the ground to open up the veins to allow more oil to flow.
