They are iron ore trucks, 63% of the load is iron at ~7.250 tonnes / m3 the balance is fine dirt at ~2 tonnes / m3, that's heavy stuff in those trailers, no wonder they look half full, and the ballast on the road is loose as sand under those wheel loads.

@mrbluenun10 жыл бұрын
I dread to think of how such a long train with so many ‘joints’ can ever be backed up. I guess they get a good straight run at the crossing so everything it dead straight, then reversing is not too much of a hassle? It looks like there was some landscaping taking place around the river crossing, and you were able to ask for a tow of the tractor, just wondered whether any of these crossings, of which I doubt there is many, have a tractor available to either tow the trucks out to a level surface, or maybe the tractors are there to maintain the ingress and egress and the river bottom to a more or less level state, and move any trees animals and other debris blocking the path across? It amazes me other than mining machines, just how hard these trucks are expected to work and how cost effective they are, especially carrying the more expensive loads of manganese and other ore and or trucks or caravans and other supplies to the centre of the big Aus! Allistairc123, are you one of these huge truck drivers? And forgive me that is terrible English, which could look as if I was saying you were huge; I meant to say do you drive these huge trucks land-trains? Take care and thanks so much for the upload. I may have left a comment about this before as I know this video is pretty old, sorry for any repetition. mrbluenun

Bad day on the crossing. The 2 that loose traction have bogie lead dollies, the one being towed out has a tri dolly on the lead. If this is in the west, your allowed under permit 23.5 metric tonnes on a triaxle group 16.5 tonnes on a bogie and 6 tonnes on the steer, all up any where from 156 metric tonne to 170.5 tonne legal. Cheers and yes I have been in the same situation.

A "standard" road train (2 40 foot trailers) is restricted to major highways, even in the city. In more remote areas, a third trailer is allowed, although all trucks of this size are electronically limited to 100km/h (63mph). Passing one in a car requires 1. a long straight 2. no traffic coming the other way and 3. decent acceleration. Difficult sometimes, but definitely not impossible
