I saw a similar occourance about five or six years ago on I-90 between Seattle and Spokane. After being held up and rerouted onto a frontage road I finally saw the culprit. It was a forklift on the back of a 40 ft flatbed trailer, it was a pretty big one I'm guessing about a 15,000 pound Hyster unit. I stopped for a look and it was pretty mutilated, the mast was bent and laying back onto the cab, the pins on the mast tilt cylinders were sheared off and the flatdeck trailer it was sitting on was sagging pretty bad. Just a real mess which I'm sure ended up being completely scrapped after the undamaged parts were stripped.
