Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Giant Haul Trucks

Where are off-highway haul trucks typically used?
Haul trucks of this size operate primarily in large open-pit mines, quarries, and massive civil engineering projects where high-volume material transport is necessary.
Why are haul truck wheels so enormous?
Giant wheels distribute the extreme weight of the vehicle and its heavy cargo over a larger surface area to prevent sinking into soft dirt and gravel.
Can haul trucks drive on normal city streets?
No, ultra-class haul trucks are far too wide and heavy for public roads, so they are transported to work sites in pieces and assembled on location.
