videos | at work | information | view | construction

1. The description " buckets" should read "bodies" ?
2. Only in Australia.. 
3. Its written as 160ton dumptruck bodies... That is their capacity, they hold about 160 ton of dirt. They weighbetween 40 and 80 ton, depending on their size etc.
4. @fkuaso Those look to be dump bodies for Cat 797 mining trucks.
5. Yes They do. In Queensland the maximum speed limit for oversize loads is 80 km an hour.
6. I am an escort vehicle driver and pilot those size loads pretty often. The trucks get about 2km per litre empty and down as low as 800 metres a litre loaded.
7. it's measured in gallons per mile! HA!
8. Wonder what kind of fuel mileage those trucks get?
9. The Bogie dolly and Quad float may have been required for a Return load, can"t see them Buckets weighing much more than 25 ton.
10. i think you'll find it is just to gain length/width not because of weight
11. just like to point out the bucket only weighs 25 ton but if you were refering to the truck they go on then it is either a 789 or 793 which are 180 and 240 ton.
12. Fucking hell the size of them! What is happening in western Australia? I heard theres a lot of digging and stuff. Economy boom?
