“There are things you can’t fight — acts of God… You see a hurricane coming, you have to get out of the way… but when you’re in a Jaeger, suddenly you can fight the hurricane… You can win.”
There possibly is a pushers/braking truck attached to the rear of the Transporter.
Also one must remember on transporter it is about winning over rolling resistance rather than the weight. Doesn’t necessarily take that powerfull truck on flat ground to pull even great load.
Also turbine housing has lot of air and as equipment to be lifted to top of a mast, built with light weight in mind. Not for pulling it, but in thought of the crane that has to lift that thing dead load up.
