Before the advent of all the above models of dump trucks, this technique was considered the largest and best. Due to its excellent technical characteristics, it can work continuously for long period time.

As a child, my brother used to say that there are trucks with wheels so big that a person is smaller than the rim, for some reason I remember this. Now I decided to check, and it turned out to be an exaggeration. But nevertheless, the largest mining dump truck is impressive.

The largest mining dump truck for transporting rock worldwide BelAZ - 75 710 is produced at the Belarusian plant. The load capacity of this machine is 450 tons, and full mass almost 810 tons. Dimensions inspire respect and admiration: more than 8 meters high, almost 10 meters wide and almost 21 meters long. The giant is equipped with two diesel engines with a total power of 4600 hp and has all-wheel drive and a top speed of just over 60 km/h. Of course, one cannot fail to mention the disadvantage that comes logically from the size of the car, and this is the fuel consumption of the dump truck.

At one time the most big dump truck received a lot of positive feedback at the exhibition. And no wonder, because the carrying capacity is 363 tons. Own weight is 230 tons. The ratio of the total and transported weight is impressive. Comes with two engines. Very comfortable for the driver.

Chinese development - the XCMG DE400 dump truck strikes with a width of ten meters, was presented to the experts in 2012. Its length is almost 16 meters, and the height is 7.6 meters, and up to 360 tons of rock can be loaded into it. Max Speed car 50 km / h and with such dimensions it is also impressive. Before the advent of BelAZ - 75710, it was the largest.

The dump truck manufactured in Canada by the Terex 33 - 19 Titan production also, having entered the market for the first time in the mid-seventies, surpassed all analogues, being the first in the world with a carrying capacity of almost 320 tons. Only a single copy was made, and having worked until the early nineties, it was installed as a monument near the highway near Sparwood, a Canadian city.

The American dump truck Bucyrus M T 6300 AC was launched in early 2008 and is equipped with an engine with a rated power of 3750 hp. It has had its name since 2010 and before that it was called Terex Unit Rig MT 63 00 AC.

Dump truck manufactured in the USA Caterpillar 7 9 7 F with a total weight of more than 620 tons up to today there is a size winner among all American manufacturers. Visible in the background.

The brainchild of Japanese engineers Komatsu car 960 E is by far the most large dump truck among Komatsu models.
The car is equipped with V figurative engine with a rated power of 3500 hp The length of the car is 15.6 meters, and the height is more than 7 meters, and despite this, the Komatsu 960E is comfortable and easy to drive, because it is equipped with various systems designed for this.

Japanese manufacturers tried and gave the results of the total curb weight of the car is more than five hundred tons, its engine power is three and a half thousand horsepower. The dump truck is 15.5 meters long, and it is capable of carrying almost 290 tons of cargo. With a full load, its total weight becomes 500 tons.

Bel AZ 75 600 has the ability to carry up to 320 tons. Its total mass after loading maximum number rocks can be 560 tons. It is almost fifteen meters long, and its engine develops over three and a half thousand horsepower. With all its enormous size and carrying capacity, it can reach speeds of up to 64 km / h.
The size of all these vehicles, their power and the ability to carry hundreds of tons of cargo, impose on them the impossibility of saving on fuel. Its consumption, as already mentioned, is simply huge, but with the impressive size of the tank, it is just enough for a working day.

Each of us knows that for loading, moving and quickly unloading bulk materials and other cargo better than a dump truck no one has come up with anything yet. And I am glad that the largest mining dump truck in the world was produced not in America and not in Japan, but by the BelAZ plant in Belarus.

General information

The innovative model of the giant left the assembly line in 2013 by order of the Siberian Business Union holding. With a carrying capacity of four hundred and fifty tons, the first-born of the largest mining dump truck is successfully working at a coal deposit in the Kemerovo region, replacing several dozen other models of dump trucks at once.

Due to the fact that Belarusian engineers lovingly approached the creation of the most powerful more cargo, without dropping, in pursuit of dimensions, the level of quality due to compliance with technology, allowed the largest mining dump truck in the world BelAZ-75710 in 2014 to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

This giant was able to move a load of 503.5 tons on test terrain, which threw off the nearest American and European competitors, maximum load capacity which are about 363 tons, far back.

So, in order not to talk about the decline of the economy and the standard of living in Belarus, the country managed to bypass manufacturers around the world by releasing the largest type of special equipment designed to provide dump truck services.

Technical parameters BelAZ-75710

BelAZ-75710 was able to surprise potential consumers and competitors not only with its dimensions, but also with the solution of a number of complex design tasks that allow you to get both visual and practical pleasure, namely:

With an impressive weight of 810 tons, this mining dump truck is capable of accelerating to 64 km/h, which makes it one step ahead of its competitors, especially in quarrying. To give you an idea of what is being said here, here are some comparisons:

BelAZ-75710 weighs more than the world's largest aircraft Airbuc A380.
A payload of 450 tons equals the weight of about 300 Ford Focuc or total mass 37 double-decker buses, well, or the weight of two large and one small whales.

The Internet is replete with photographs of people against the background of the wheels of this giant. Of course, for people who are twice the height, wheels are required special engine that would make them move. Here, for obvious reasons, two such engines are installed, total power 4600 horsepower which is also a world record. In the world you will not find such a number of “horses” under the “hood” of any type of transport. Naturally, there are also 2 fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 2800 liters.
The all-wheel drive model BelAZ-75710 has two operating modes. This means that the loaded equipment is served by two diesel generators, and the empty one - by one. This feature was developed by engineers for economic purposes, since the only drawback of the huge dump truck is its fuel consumption of 1300 l / 100 km. But with its carrying capacity and cross-country ability, this figure is not so terrible, especially since mining is constantly growing, and at the same time, the need for such large mining trucks is growing.
This special equipment is designed to carry out work increased complexity in deep quarries, feels quite well with temperature conditions from - 50 to + 50 degrees.
High stability without changing the smoothness of the ride and increased maneuverability contribute to overcoming long slopes up to twelve percent (slopes on short sections of roads - up to 18%).

Additional specifications are shown in the table:

By issuing such powerful model of heavy-duty mining dump trucks, the manufacturers set themselves the goal of achieving a reduction in the cost of a ton of transported cargo, which they got at the exit from the assembly line. The need for such machines will only grow.

Top 10 biggest mining trucks

The Liebherr T282B was produced in Switzerland and in 2008 held the championship among heavy trucks.

Conclusion

The listed properties of the 10 largest mining trucks in the world show that global manufacturers offer consumers equipment with ample opportunities. Every year, the productivity of dump trucks, labor safety on them, and comfortable conditions for work.

In the world there are several models of giant dump trucks used in heavy industry for quarrying. All of these supercars are unique in their class. Therefore, it is not surprising that every year a kind of competition is held between the producing countries: whose dump trucks are the most load-bearing, fast and enduring. A separate line indicates the question "in which country the largest dump truck in the world is produced." Technical progress no longer stop. Car performance has reached fantastic heights. At the same time, production technologies continue to improve. Therefore, the largest dump truck in the world may appear unexpectedly, as it happened more than once. The parameters, characteristics and dimensions of new models are regularly calculated by competent specialists in research centers. The analytical work of engineering services has an international scope.

mining giants

The largest dump truck in the world, BelAZ-75710, career giant, unparalleled, was presented at test site September 25, 2013. The machine is produced at the factories of OJSC "BelAZ", located in the city of Zhodino, not far from Minsk. The technical characteristics of the dump truck are impressive, it takes on board 450 tons of cargo, while its European and American counterparts lift only 380 tons. The giant weighs 810 tons, but at the same time it is able to reach speeds of up to 64 km / h. And although such speeds in career developments do not make sense, however, the very fact of such dynamics testifies to the unprecedented power of the car. new car was awarded the title of "The Biggest Dump Truck in the World 2013". Behind last year not a single career car appeared in the world ranking that could outstrip BelAZ-75710 in terms of its characteristics. Therefore, with every right, the Belarusian giant can bear the title of "The Biggest Dump Truck in the World in 2014". The release of the quarry giant has begun, the first machines are already working in the largest mines around the world.

In operating mode, the largest dump truck in the world usually moves through the mining area at a speed of 10-12 km / h. Maintenance of the machine consists in the periodic inspection of the power plant and chassis. Mechanics operate on the principle "it is easier to prevent a breakdown than to fix it later." Repair of a mining dump truck is possible only at specialized enterprises equipped with lifting mechanisms of type A from the quarry to the place of repair, the machine has to be delivered on several tractors. Technical centers for maintenance, manufacturers try to locate them in the zone of greatest accessibility to a quarry or a mine in which dump trucks operate. Otherwise, the issue of delivering the car to the place of repair and back can result in a large sum. Therefore, there are special intermediary firms that are engaged in optimizing the location service centers. In addition, practice shows that the owners of large industrial developments in the field of extraction of raw materials and minerals purchase mining equipment from the same manufacturer. This allows you to work for years according to a well-established scheme with the least losses. Maintenance of the material part is usually carried out by specialists of the manufacturer who come to the site according to a certain schedule.

Fuel consumption - 500 liters per hour. Is it a lot or a little?

The largest dump truck in the world has, accordingly, a heavy duty power plant, which consists of two diesel generators, producing a total thrust of 8500 liters. with., and supplies energy to four electric drives that ensure the rotation of the wheels. Electric motors drive the wheels of the dump truck when the body is fully loaded with maximum traction. A empty car moves in the mode of 50% power cut, for this one of the diesel generators is turned off. Consumption diesel fuel V full mode is about 500 liters per hour. As we can see, the largest dump truck consumes a huge amount of fuel. However, the cost of diesel fuel is nothing compared to the economic benefits, which are expressed in seven figures. And it is thanks to the mining giants dump trucks.

Camcorders and other useful devices

The equipment of the BelAZ-75710 mining dump truck includes complex, but efficient systems fire extinguishing and viewing "dead" zones around the car. To do this, eight permanently operating video cameras are installed along the perimeter of the machine, transmitting information to monitors in the driver's cab. The driver-operator and navigator are accommodated in a double spacious cabin. In addition to the video review, the dump truck is equipped special device warning of approaching high voltage lines. The cabin has air conditioning in summer and a heater in winter. The largest dump truck in the world BelAZ-75710 is a supercar designed to work in difficult conditions at temperatures ranging from minus 50 to plus 50 degrees. The resource of the machine allows you to operate it around the clock.

Chassis:

Inaccessible BelAZ-75710

The largest dump truck in the world, the photo of which is presented on the page, is still an orange giant that rolled off the assembly line in the Belarusian city of Zhodino. The engineering staff of OJSC "BelAZ" is currently preparing a number of improvements that will further strengthen the already high rating model 75710. Thus, the largest dump truck in the world, with a carrying capacity of more than 450 tons, becomes unattainable in the coming years for competing manufacturers.

The production of quarry equipment is associated with very high costs. Therefore, there are no new major manufacturers. But there are many contractors who are able to produce high-quality components and assemblies for machines operating in the mining industry. These are engine builders, super tire companies and other specialized enterprises available for cooperation. Career automotive technology is expensive, the price of a dump truck high class reaches five to six million dollars. However, the machine justifies the costs in the first two years, while bringing a significant profit.

They never stand idle, in most cases this technique works around the clock. The management of the mining section should only prepare in time driver's team, and BelAZ, Caterpiller and Komatsu will do the rest.
