Still longer than Kim Kardashian's marrage...

Are there no hills in Australia?

[ilikec]

Let's check tire pressure before rolling out in the morning.....

[shelby02403]

Can anyone say Jacknife. Try backing that bitch up and my Btrains are challenging enough

[carrarofan]

WOW, thats amazing !

[ronny302]

That´s just crazy. Where does the truck takes the power to pull 600m of trailers?

[Iittlegalah]

This is a bit on the small size

[MrAssholeoftheyear]

how do you check air pressure for all them wheels..

[Rodakgreen]

there's a point when this becomes rediculous, now put a load on them trailers and see if he can take off without burning out the clutch.

[phantomeagle]

Imagine having this sucker run over a series of spike strips. Calling AAA would be a hoot. "Excuse me, but I need 1000 truck tires on the highway just outside the city!"

[technowraith]

Very impressive truck. Australia uses road trains because it's not feasible to run rail to all the remote ranches and towns that require the supplies hauled in by the road trains. And roads in Australia are designed to handle these trucks, both in weight and layout. You won't see these trucks in metropolitan areas in general, but mostly out running the remote stretches between the smaller towns and ranches. Often times these trucks are the only supply lines to certain towns.

[freakyboie19699]

this is not the biggest turck maybe the longest trl

[mikko998]

@freakyboie19699 its a video response on the video biggest truck in the world

look at description, i said very long truck

[Rovahead]

Backing it into the bay's gonna be tricky!

[99justpete]

your all fucking retards, it was a world record, it's just one 600 odd bhp tractor unit pulling all the trailers, no corners, no help. . and only for a couple of miles

[TheMrBlinx]

I counted twice and both times I came up with 45 trailers and one tractor. Amazing. How many tires would that be? How does the driver know if he has a blown tire halfway down the string? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

[Snowman374th]

Let me see that driver log this Inspection at 15 minutes..  [|: ()~ LOL

[bazcoloradomio]

I want to make it move

[savantas0029]

and what to do when you run a flat tire?

Whahaha

[cary19642003]

also they have severl smaller poer units on some of the trailers to share the pulling like a train uses several cars in front or rear to move them

[cary19642003]

Can deffinitely be done with a 21 speed transmission and a 1000 hp diesel..... They aren real fast. the answer to turning is the second trailer in the line up will follow exactly the path you make in your first trailer turn. All subsiquent trailers will mirror the axact same path! very cool to watch

[waterskippers]

Let's see them parallel park this thing!

[seriall1337]

would be fun to try to paralell park that thing

[bigwoolleypenguin]

Road trains like this , and some bigger arnt uncommon in Australia. The truck up front will have 600 to 700 BHP. Some of the trailers have powered axle bogies with 300 to 400 BHP power units . There are probably 4 or 5 of these on a truck of this length in addition to the tractor unit up front. They are electronically controlled and all synchronised with the truck up front. This method is not that uncommon and has been used on shorter " abnormal" and very heavy loads / heavy haulage for years.

[NextMilionare]

imagine how hard it is to turn!!!!

is great that here we cant haul more than 31 meters

[LittleDrummer55]

I wonder how he turns?

[mikko998]

@LittleDrummer55 they dont

[TheNico2000]

@LittleDrummer55 its in usa the street have no kurves

[XcaliburGreen]

is not hard to tow pretty much weight... the hard part of it is starting to move!... a single person can single handed move a train with ease (once you almost die starting to move it) once's it has inertia (or however it's spelled)

[Ghost0630]

hope he didn't forget his wallet

[IIMAOSSIEII]

Man I would hate to do pre-start checks on that thing every day, there goes your log book hours haha

[sadch512]

the question is not how its possible to move this 45trailers...the question is how long he need to fill up all the airtanks on each trailer!?!?!? and he never need 80miles to stop this roadtrain...every axle have a brake, he can stop at this slow speed within a couple feet...

[mrpeterigs]

if u think thats heavy for the truck its not.the truck only has to hold one of them

[mrpeterigs]

its putting down like 3000 pounds feet of torque

[plowking883]

it has only one engine, did u see any other types of things to power it? NO

[naireland]

hows does that engine drive all of those trailers? Are there powered mid axel trailers to assist or something?

[hurricanewinzz]

after a simple calculation the stopping distance at that speed is exactly 80miles from when he first touchs the brake

[naireland]

wow good calculation considering you don't know what type of brakes they are using, the combined mass, velocity before stopping, or incline and road surface while stopping.

[hou291]

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowow

[Haulero]

In 2006, an Australian built Mack truck with 112 semi-trailers, 2,865,980-pounds (1,299,987 kgs) and 4,836'11" (1,474.3 meters) long, pulled the load 328 feet (100 meters) to recapture the record for the longest road train (multiple loaded trailers) ever pulled with a single prime mover. It was on the main road of Clifton, Queensland, that 70-year-old John Atkinson claimed a new record, pulled by a tri-drive Mack Titan.

[siaripop7]

If they did this truck like a trains engine (diesel electric) it might have more torque. Regardless, I have seen them in Ausie land.

[kevt0n]

i think driving backwards with this truck is impossible

[carfanatic89]

46 trailers damn you got to have some power to get that thing going at 60mph

[trsummers]

Do try and keep up, It was the Marleys transport caterpiller(thats its name) they werent powered trailers and more than likely not loaded apart from those odd few with a sponsors vehicle on it...the record attempt was for length..nothing to do with wieght ot legality...and on a technical point we dont have a limit on trailer numbers, more so 53.5 metres length..whatever setup as long as approved by our main roads...btw Im a road train driver... just appreciate it for what it is...looong!!!!

[bigwoolleypenguin]

This rig doesnt just rely on the trucks 660 bhp engine up front to pull it . These things have several more engines on some of the trailers , which are powered axle trailers , electronically linked to the truck up front. Im guessing there are at least 5 or 6, of these powered axle trailers on a rig this size , each with a 400 to 500 bhp engine , giving the whole rig around 2000 to 2500 bhp , which is still not a lot considering its size.

[mymate69]

Well, the trailers were not loaded, the Truck was a Kenworth Cab-over Tri-drive with a 660hp cummins motor, probably still got a 18 speed spicer in it(gearbox) and im sure that he would have only pulled it in a straight line, coz the legal amount of trailers is 4, in Darwin Northern Territory!

[goth00man]

if he arrives, the last trailer still standing at the startpoint

[sniperkain]

thats 1 hell of a paycheck

[Bondidog]

Way back in March 2006 70-year old truck driver John Atkinson took his Mack Titan model into the Guinness Book of Records using a mile long stretch of road at Clifton, near Toowoomba Australia, by moving the massive roadtrain which weighed 2,865,980-pounds that's 1,300 metric tonnes the required 100m for it to qualify as a record. Since then a 113 trailer road train in Queensland Australia has broken that record.

[bobbesmegen]

I seriously doubt if it's true, you can't make a turn with this length and I also doubt if the engine can produce even 40% of the torque needed to get this thing rolling from a standstill. I would like to see it accelerate on just a minor hill, I bet he would just burn his clutch.

[daykev]

Looks like a attemp at the record to me they don't run like that on the public road

I seem to remember reading about it in the local paper

[ieseanul1991]

this car goes 30-40 meters, more than that he can`t ;)

[daddi4551]

was the trailors loaded ,

[bLiNdeCo]

Air.

[00padunne00]

how would ya even hook up all the trailers

[whateverbearfoot]

TALK ABOUT MAKING 1 MESS UP

[noscrazy]

o.O

[CHEZZYTOAST]

how would he turn????

[Brianistheman03]

He wouldnt even know it if he had a flat or not!

[tahomie409]

shit, how much torque does that thing have?

[champ0925]

wow and i thought my trucks were bad

[petrolhead1985]

wow what a machine!!!!

[DG121480]

I want to see the engine and trans.

[shadowknight227]

45 TRAILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!

[tazdvil1974]

must be a bitch to reverse this one b-train doubles can be a pain but this is just some thing else

[peepeevagi]

Oh wow.

WANT!

[4bidndonut]

Anybody know what kind of horsepower this truck has-it appears to be a Kenworth, but I'm guessing that's not a 425 horse Cat engine pulling that kind of load!

[hamishquinn]

45 trailers (35 Semi Tippers, 4 stock crates, 2 Freezers, 2 Taut Liners, 1 Flat Top and 1 Tanker, 980 wheels suspended on 245 axels).

"Millipede" -Kenworth K100G 10x6, twin steer rigid truck packing a Cummins Signature 565 HP

[gjn71]

@4bidndonut 600 plus Cummins

[cornholio114]

holy fuck it just kept getting longer! is that as fast as it goes with that size load?

[wherleybird]

thats what she said

[cornholio114]

holy crap i didnt even realize i set myself up for that one! nice!

[cookiekiller6]

rofl nice one

[xxTUPAC13xx]

its so dangerous men!!!

[zach071591]

How the hell do you turn those?!?!?!

[TGazzaB]

im guessing they dont have to. most roadtrains are in big open flat roads, like those ice tricks in antartica. so they only need to turn round once they get to their destination. It would be a nightmare to reverse something like that.

[DG121480]

You're talking about backing it... Like it's even remotely possible!

[TCsoccernumber9]

WOW!

[RSTuner78]

Oh My GOD!

[gwilbur33]

You might as well just drive these trailers separate, the damn thing is only going like 5mph.lol

[Tiromaniak]

[Ixring]

bull shit. Unless that one cab has a god damn Terex engine under the hood or a damn good train engine, it couldn't do it alone.

[mikko998]

this is not bullshit,

this is one of the roadtrains,

they are special made for a lot of trailers,

cause where they use them there is no space for railroads

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@Ixring a damn train engine would no even fit in the truck you idoit

[TheMrBlinx]

@countrymusicgtavboy2 If you go look again, you will see that the "tractor" (the main thing pulling it) has a large "box" ON it. There are two sets of front steering wheels, and three axles of drive wheels. You should also notice that that box on the back of that truck is indeed large enough for a train engine. Pay attention.

[countrymusicgtavboy2]

@TheMrBlinx thats called dromadary box here in US.i saw that the loads they pull in astraila are heavy they mostly pull roadtrains so the more wheels the more evenly the weight is distruibuted. i know my trucks.

[wannabewhacker]

aye currumba!

[AccIdeTE]

wow very big
