The word “truck” itself sounds powerful. You immediately imagine huge wheels, cabins of incredible size... However, you won’t just see the largest of them on the road - after all, these are mining dump trucks that are used in mining.
They don’t appear on the track for a simple reason: road surface unable to support their weight. Therefore, multi-ton vehicles reach the duty station in parts, and assembly occurs upon arrival. It is these trucks that will be discussed in this collection.
The first such dump truck was created in the 30s of the last century by the five Armington brothers from Cleveland, Ohio. It was they who founded the Euclid company, which laid the foundation for this class of machines. However, their first-born weighed only 8 tons - very tiny compared to more modern and much larger Ultra Trucks.
Terex 33-19 "Titan"
This truck was the first attempt by Terex, a division General Motors, create a mining dump truck. First and single copy The Titan rolled off the assembly line in 1973 and remained the most spacious truck in the world for exactly a quarter of a century. This title was “stole” from him by the Caterpillar 797 released in September 1998 with a lifting capacity of 330 tons.
Weighing 231.1 tons, the Terex 33-19 was capable of transporting up to 320 tons of cargo at a speed of 48 km/h. This creation of Canadian engineers served for 13 years in an iron mine in California, USA. In 1993, the truck was restored and displayed in Sparwood, Canada to attract tourists. Despite the fact that externally it has been completely restored, chassis it is missing: now the Titan is not capable of moving.
Caterpillar 797
Developed in 1998 by Caterpillar Inc. (USA), this series of Ultra Trucks soon appeared in open-pit mines around the world. The original model did not gain much popularity, but the 797B that followed it in 2002 became the most payload and heaviest truck in the world. It can withstand up to 380 tons of cargo and, when fully loaded, moves at a speed of 67.6 km/h.
The third generation, the 797F, was introduced at MINExpo International in 2008. Mass production started a year later. It received more powerful engine Cat C175-20, and lifting capacity increased to 400 tons. Interestingly, this truck has the worst tires to replace: the company that produces them, Michelin, simply cannot cope with the volume of orders.
Komatsu 930E-4SE
Despite the Japanese name, this truck is originally from Illinois, USA. It allows you to transport up to 291 tons of cargo with a maximum speed of 64.5 km/h. His total length- 15.6 meters, and width - 8.9. At the same time, the “empty” dump truck weighs 215 tons. Of these, more than 10 tons are for the engine, which is not surprising: only one motor oil in the lubrication system - 340 liters!
BelAZ-75600
Until 2013, the largest mining dump truck in the CIS was the Belarusian BelAZ-75600, which can still be found in coal mines Kemerovo region. Compared to the local quarries, the giant looks an ordinary car. Actual size can only be appreciated by seeing nearby people who seem very tiny.
Its carrying capacity is up to 320 tons, and total weight can reach 610 tons. Manufacturers claim that the BelAZ-75602 modification, capable of transporting up to 360 tons, is the largest truck in the world. They, of course, got excited with the world, this can be seen from the following models, however, until 2013, a more powerful dump truck really did not exist in the CIS.
Unit Rig MT 5500
The Terex MT 5500, also known as the Unit Rig MT 5500, is considered one of the largest mining trucks in the world. Its lifting capacity of 360 tons meets the needs of the largest mining companies.
The fully loaded MT 5500AC weighs 598 tonnes. With a length of 14.87 meters, its width and maximum height are 9.05 and 7.67 meters respectively. 16-cylinder diesel engine with a power of 3000 Horse power allows him to reach a speed of 64 km/h.
Hitachi EH5000AC-3
This machine allows you to transport 326 tons and is the largest and most powerful in model range manufacturer. It was unveiled to the public at MINExpo International in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012.
Thanks to the new electric drive alternating current with IGBT inverter, the model has excellent performance characteristics. The EH5000AC-3 also features an advanced braking system that ensures maximum safety during descent. Its rated lifting capacity is 296 tons.
Liebherr-T282B
“We present to you the eighth wonder of the world,” the German developers modestly announced at the Bauma 2004 exhibition in Munich, Germany. They presented the Liebherr-T282B, which to this day does not lose customers. Every year, dozens of these trucks are sent to iron, copper and gold mines in the USA, Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia.
For four whole years it remained the world leader in carrying capacity (400 tons). Fully loaded, this truck can reach speeds of up to 64 km/h.
Komatsu 960E-1/960E-1K
These two models are latest developments Komatsu. The original 960E-1 was released in 2008, and the 960E-1K debuted four years later. Each of them is capable of transporting up to 360 tons; weight of the loaded machine is 365 tons.
The only difference between the two generations of dump trucks is the electric drive system. The 960E-1 uses an IGBT transistor manufactured by General Electric, while the later version has a "native" Komatsu transistor.
The manufacturer has relied on the environmental friendliness of both cars and states in the official brochure that the 960E-1 and 960E-1K engines comply with the eco-friendly US EPA emission standard, and the radiators are made without the use of lead. In addition, the noise level in them is kept to a minimum.
Bucyrus MT6300AC
The Terex Unit Rig MT6300AC debuted at MINExpo International in September 2008 and was renamed the Bucyrus MT6300AC in 2010 when Bucyrus International Inc. acquired the mining equipment division of Terex Corporation.
With a payload capacity of 400 tons, it remains the company's most powerful truck to this day. It is not only not inferior in characteristics to the “eighth wonder of the world” from Liebherr, but also surpasses it in engine power by 100 horsepower. Because of this difference, its engine weighs 6 tons more than that of its German competitor.
BelAZ 75710
Without exaggeration, BelAZ 75710 is the largest truck in the world. Its carrying capacity is 450 tons. And this is by no means the limit - it is technically possible to create vehicles that can transport 500 tons of cargo or more. However, this would be impractical due to the expected cost of such giants. It is cheaper for mining companies to buy two dump trucks with a lifting capacity of 300 tons than one with a 600-ton capacity. In addition, the problem with roads is still relevant. So it’s unlikely soon another record-breaking truck will appear from Belarus: by modern standards, 75710 is more than enough.
These trucks are real monsters construction equipment. They are produced limited edition, cost crazy money, and if the company has such cars in its fleet, everything is definitely going very well there. In this rating we will talk about the five largest trucks in the world.
5th place – Liebherr T282C / T284 (600 t.)
The company, which is located in Germany and is called Liebherr, has once again proven its title as a leader in the manufacture of heavy special equipment. The modernized version of the Liebherr T282C mining megadump truck is direct proof of this, since it took the most important position in its rating. The improved Liebherr T282C, with the ability to lift loads weighing up to 360 tons, is considered the largest mining dump truck in the world. Machines of this caliber can only be produced by the most select companies. T284 can be supplied with motors up to 3000 kW. The engine has 18 or 20 cylinders. Despite the fact that it has a mass of 237 tons, this type of dump truck model is equipped high lifting capacity at 363 tons. The volume of the fuel tank is 5351 liters. The dump truck has the following parameters: length – 15700 mm, width – 9700 mm, height – 8300 mm. In 50 seconds the body raises 49°. It is worth noting that this type of dump truck has good maneuverability - its turning radius is no more than 17 m. Naturally, this powerful car manufactured only according to individual orders, and its cost varies from 4.5 to 5 million dollars. However, as they say, the end always justifies the means, since the efficiency of using a car equipped with these impressive dimensions is beyond doubt.
4th place – BelAZ 75601 (610 tons)
BelAZ 75601 belongs to the mining dump trucks of Belarus and is used for transporting rock mass in a state of loosening, climatic conditions at the same time from -50 to + 50°С. It was created in honor of the half-century anniversary of the main designer's management in 2010. The dump truck is created as a machine of the best technical level and load capacity class using fundamental components of the BelAZ-75600 dump truck and components and assemblies of the main creators of the world arena.
Its configuration includes: a diesel engine with a capacity of 3750 horsepower and the latest system diagnostic and control electronics, tire size 59/80 R63 and a diameter of 4 meters.

3rd place – BelAZ 75600 (621 tons)
Created as a machine of the best technical level. During the creation of this dump truck, latest developments in the field of science and technology, plus absolutely all comments on world standards and safety requirements were made. The BelAZ-75600, made 10 years ago, is considered the main dump truck at the plant, to which an electromechanical AC transmission based on the use of modular units and a telemetry system were used. Equipped with a diesel engine whose power reaches 2610 kW (3500 hp). The dump truck has strong traction and dynamic properties, its speed reaches 64 km/h. Its carrying capacity is 360 tons with a loaded weight of 620 tons. 9 years ago it was first put into operation in the Kemerovo region.

On the road, 100 km/h consumes 784 liters of fuel. Instead of fuel, diesel fuel is used. The tank of the car can hold 6814 liters of fuel. One tire weighs more than five tons. But tires are the most scarce commodity for of this car. Only Michelin produces such bulky tires, but it simply cannot cope with such a large number of orders. A fully loaded car can reach speeds of up to 68 km/h.
1st place – BelAZ 75710 (810 tons)
And now the most honorable place is awarded to BelAZ-75710. This is the biggest mining truck in the world. Its carrying capacity reaches 450 tons. The first sample was released in 2013. It was ordered by the Siberian Business Union auto holding company. About a year ago, the truck's carrying capacity was included in the Guinness Book of Records, because it carried more than 500 tons.

BelAZ monitors dead zones, it has air conditioning and a fire extinguishing system.
Such a huge mining dump truck on a global scale is used to work in difficult conditions both in open-pit mines and in deep quarries, temperature regime can fluctuate from -50 to +50C.
As you can see, the Republic of Belarus has something to be proud of; there are 3 representatives of the Belarusian automobile plant appeared in this ranking. And this is far from full list Slavic iron “monsters”, keep it up!
The cost of this miracle of technology is several million dollars, its weight is hundreds of tons, its power is more than one thousand horsepower, and its dimensions are amazing in its size. All this is about a mining dump truck. Auto giants produced by such companies can compete for the title of the largest truck in the world. well-known companies like BelAZ, Caterpillar, Liebherr, Terex.
Let's take a closer look at what these giants are.
BelAZ 7560 – “our” largest dump truck
The BelAZ company is one of the largest in the world and the only one in the CIS specializing in the production quarry equipment. Among its machines, which work not only on the territory of the former Soviet Union, but also abroad the BelAZ 7560 series rightfully stands out.
Monster BelAZ 75600
This giant first appeared in 2006. His specifications can stun anyone. The dump truck's carrying capacity is 320 tons, and its weight when fully loaded is 560 tons! The volume of coal loaded into the body of this giant can be compared to the volume that fits in several railway cars.
The width of the dump truck is 9.25 m, the length is 14.5 m, and the height is 7.22 m. The BelAz 75600 requires more than 500 liters of diesel fuel per hour of operation, and its engine power is 3546 horsepower.
Caterpillar 797B – a monster truck from distant America
The largest and heaviest robotic truck to date is considered to be the Caterpillar 797, created by Caterpillar in collaboration with engineers from Carnegie Mellon University (USA). To create this technical miracle, technologies used in the DARPA Urban Challenge competitions were used. The main prize of this event is the sum of 2 million dollars, awarded to the development team that presents best model robotic car.
The Caterpillar 797B has a lifting capacity of 345 tons and a power of 3,550 horsepower. The mass of this spike is 280 tons, and the dimensions of the structure are: length - 15 m, width - 10 m and height - 8 m. An automated control system controls almost all parameters of the dump truck: from tire pressure to engine speed.
It is not for nothing that the Caterpillar 797B is considered one of the mining equipment whose design includes the largest number of electronic devices.
Liebherr-T282B – one of the wonders of the world
In 2004, at the BAUMA construction exhibition in Germany, the Liebherr company presented the Liebherr-T282B truck, which was dubbed the eighth wonder of the world on the day of its premiere. It received this title due to its lifting capacity of 363 tons, the maximum value among mining equipment today. No dump truck can carry as much cargo as the Liebherr-T282B.
The weight of this titanium is 592 tons, and the power is 3650 horsepower. Despite its impressive dimensions (length - 14.5 m, width - 9 m, height - 7.4 m), the dump truck can develop maximum speed 64 km/h and it is safe to stop. The design of the Liebherr-T282B is distinguished by the presence of a display instead of the usual instrument panel, on which a lot of necessary information is displayed: about malfunctions and about the loading of the car, about how the engine is working, etc. For your information, the cost of the eighth wonder of the world is 3 million dollars. Air conditioning and radio in standard equipment Excluded.
In 1974, the Canadian company Terex (General Motors) released the most powerful truck at that time, the Terex Titan. It remained this way for 25 years, which is not surprising if you look at its characteristics. The weight of the dump truck was 235 tons, the load capacity was 320 tons, and the engine power was 3300 horsepower. 20 m long and 6.9 m high, fully loaded, this giant reached a maximum speed of 48 km/h. To operate, the car required 10 tires with a radius of 4 meters.
Terex Titan from General Motors
In the 1990s. The dump truck ceased to be used in quarries due to the debut of the Caterpillar 797B. Today the Terex Titan can be seen as a monument in Sparwood (Canada). At first they wanted to dismantle the car for scrap metal. However, thanks to local enthusiasts, it was saved, and now the Terex Titan is on public display. During the restoration of the truck, the engine was dismantled and destroyed, so it will never be able to move independently again.
As you can see, any of the above listed machines deserves the loud title of the largest truck. But, be that as it may, we will root for our BelAZ!
BelAZ 75600.
The largest truck in the world. In just one hour of operation it consumes more than five hundred liters of fuel. It can lift a maximum of three hundred and twenty tons, and fully loaded weighs five hundred and sixty tons. And its length is slightly less than fifteen meters.
It has an eighteen-cylinder turbodiesel with a volume of seventy and six liters. The engine has a capacity of three thousand five hundred horsepower. The most high speed can reach sixty-three kilometers per hour.
Belaz has a combined hydraulic system, which includes a platform tilting mechanism, a braking system and steering control. The emergency circuit, which is present in the steering, in the event that the engine fails, the hydraulic accumulators can come into operation, but their energy is enough to perform only a couple of maneuvers.
Caterpillar 797B 
The most ordinary truck, differs only in its large sizes. Its mass is slightly less than six hundred twenty-three tons, and is capable of loading a cargo weighing three hundred forty-three tons. Its design is the most exotic among all dump trucks, especially for the category of mining dump trucks.
Its power unit can amaze the imagination, it has twenty-two cylinders, a working volume of one hundred and seventeen liters, three thousand five hundred and forty horsepower and sixteen thousand torque. In front of it is a twenty-three cylinder engine. The box has seven stages and is controlled by a computer.
Caterpillar is one of those dump trucks that are stuffed with various electronics. We can say that the car has the largest engine and the largest transmission. Well, here it is above braking system I had to work hard.
Liebherr-T282B 
When it premiered at an exhibition in Germany, it began to be called the eighth wonder of the world. Three hundred sixty-three tons, a larger volume of cargo today cannot be carried by any truck in the world. Because it is capable of transporting cargo weighing more than own weight, he is so highly regarded, and that is why he is superior to all his competitors. The car kit may include two engines, or an eighteen-cylinder engine, weighing eleven three hundred kilograms, or a more powerful one, three thousand six hundred and fifty horsepower, with a volume of ninety liters. 
The twenty-cylinder engine is located on top of the front wheels. With hybrid brakes. Main job The electrodynamic braking system is engaged, it turns electric motors into generators, which begin to extinguish energy through resistors. They work to help them and hydraulic brakes. There are six of them, on wheels, one at the front and two at the rear. Despite the fact that in other dump trucks there is one hydraulic system, this truck is equipped with an independent circuit of a thousand liters, with a battery for backup, which is needed for steering and the ability to tip the body.
On the instrument panel, you can see images from video cameras that are located around the entire perimeter of the body. Such a hulk is not easy to drive, and it doesn’t cost much, so the manufacturers tried to do everything to make the truck driver’s job easier.
The cabin is perfectly protected from dust from outside and loud sound, the steering wheel and pedals are located where they should be, and right in front of your eyes is a liquid crystal dashboard. To keep the driver cool, the cabin is equipped with an air conditioner with an updated filtration system that is quite powerful. And to keep it warm, there is a stove installed, so that you don’t have to get bored, there is an audio system.
Sitting in such a car, it’s nice to realize that your hands control the most big car in the world.
