That's what I get to play on for a living The worlds largest dump truck. This is me standing in front A maximum capacity of 365 tonnes. The maximum operating weight is 592 tonnes. It is 14.5 meters long and 7.4 meters tall over the canopy, with a wheelbase of 6.6 meters. The top level model is driven by a 10.5 tonne, 90 litre diesel engine, developed by Detroit Diesel and MTU (Germany), producing 3650 horsepower (2700 kW). This engine powers two Siemens electric traction motors in the rear axle. The top speed of the truck is 40 mph (65 km/h). And this is a midsized Dragline. That is my full size Chevy 3/4 ton in front. She will weigh in at almost ten million pounds and yes it can move under her own power |
