There is a big strike on at the moment, at last count i saw 6 of these parked up in a row, a rare sight indeed.

These move about 220T of coal. They are a more efficient way to move coal than rear dumps, however they cannot carry dirt. This truck was a 785 (I think) which as a rear dump can carry 145T or as a belly dumper can carry 220T.

How many tons can this carry and is it easier than say a 797?It seems like it would be easier to operate because of the pivot point but it is also longer than a 797.
