Holy fuck thats giant! What are these things used for?

I could be mistaken but I believe they move materials in rock quarries, at least that’s what I saw on an episode of some discovery show many years ago. I still think about them regularly too since it’s like 3 stories tall and has a stair case to get to the driver seat lol

Hauling at mines.

There are pictures of large pickup trucks (think Ford F250/F350) flattened like a pancake fire from trying to pass one of these without alerting the driver they’re there. When you’re on a mine, these things always have the right of way.

Ah yes, a new picture every MSHA refresher. No visibility on a haul truck when you have to climb a staircase to get into the cab.

I imagine this beast doesn’t exactly stop on a dime, especially with a big load.

Train rules apply. The train always wins. The vehicle with a staircase to the driver’s cab always wins.

Reminds me of the signs they used to have in Seminole County by railroads (could have been elsewhere as well)

“Big train, little car, are you passed the stop bar?”

    Yep, that’s a bad one…

    Moving lots of dirt/rock cheaply. Mostly in mining.

    There would be no overtakes. The thing blocks the whole track :) youtu.be/5oWiRKnAThU

    So? Just get a bigger dirt track, like the width of a demo derby pit but a quarter mile track…

    They should re-release Ivan Stewart’s Super Off-road & make this an unlockable upgrade.

    You just drive around flattening all the jumps & crushing the other drivers.

    saw one of these rolling coal at a Chic-fil-A

    HonkTonkWoman ,

    Don’t you start planting seeds for a Chik-fil-a food truck now…

    I wonder what the overhang is for.

    meldroc ,

    When hauling for a quarry, it’s to keep the cab & driver from being smushed when the bucket gets filled with a big pile of boulders.

    Or, what a “full size truck” in America is going to be in 5 years.

    The amazing part is that both vehicles in this picture get the same gas mileage!

    AKA my zombie apocalypse truck. You could stick a fair sized RV in the bucket and live there.

    Eh Bagger 288 would win in a fight.

    sizzler ,

    These are the types of tyres, that when they blow have inch thick steel cable in the side walls that could decapitate three men in a go. Ask me how I know…

    Someguy89 ,

    How do you know?

    snooggums ,
    @snooggums@kbin.social avatar

    They we're decapitated, obviously.

    sizzler ,

    Didn’t find them til they didn’t report in for lunch…

    can ,

    I’m so sorry
