  • 1:25 .... um did anyone notice the ground was on fire?

  • Pretty Aussie-Awesomeness!

  • Reminds me of the "Mammoth Truck" from the Speed Racer cartoon. LOL

  • and this requires only one employee. CEOs are going to love this

  • and only one employee. CEOs are going to love this

  • Wish these were in america

  • Worlds awesomist rc car

  • all of the road train footage is off Bruce Honeywill's Roadtrain! dvd series

  • I quote the commentator (I like jokes with words) : Australian have come to rely - heavily - on these machines....

  • Bree Olson's mouth specializes in transporting huge loads.

  • @kemup fuckinell mate, I love to watch Bree Olson, but Tina Tanaka can care more load on her ass

  • imagin reversing

  • What FUEL crisis?

  • WOOOOW!!!

  • um, the side of the road was on fire.

  • wow

  • i herd filling one of these up is a case of lock the fuel on go have a shower have breakfest and sit around for a little while before its full

  • I for once, bow to our Aussie overlords.

  • Ive carried more in a wheelbarrow

  • RE: Backing up a road train:

    A guy was dragging a chain down the road. Someone asked him, 'Why are you dragging that chain?' He replied, 'Did you ever try to PUSH one?!'

  • In America, we have railroads. Exciting, fuel efficient, safe railroads that cross plains, mountains, deserts, and forests. The Aussies must be cheap basterds.

    Kudos on the Mammoet though. Now that's engineering!

  • @hulkhatepunybanner Its not cost effective to build railroads to individual farms... nor isolated communities.

    These vehicles are far more versatile and cost effective for bulk transport to isolated areas.

    The usa doesnt have anywhere as isolated as the centre and west of AU.

  • @AceofSpadesau Geez! Sorry to burst your Aussie pride there but Australia doesn't have a monopoly on isolated lands. Trains are diesel-electrics which are more efficient than trucks will ever be. The railways go through regional hubs where trucks come to transfer their goods from local hubs and individual farms. The trucks don't get beat up and wasted and the trains do most of the hard work at lower cost. I imagine the lack of rails there stems from low economic output. Perhaps.

  • @hulkhatepunybanner Aussie pride? LOL if only you knew how wrong that is.

    You are correct however.

    The outputs are FAR too low, thus making these vehicles more effective. no matter how you slice it, noone is going to construct a railroad in todays economic climate for a communities measured in hundreds of people, thousands of klms away.

    look up the geography of Au, the majority of the population is on the eastern coast (or within reasonable distance of )

    efficency is situationaly dependant

  • @AceofSpadesau I checked it out the setup on google maps. Main Aussie cities are coastal so it's cheaper to ship supplies right to the town of choice. Barely anything in the interior, mostly national parks. If the mineral/agri output in the interior is low then there's no cost-effective freight solution. In contrast, the US has lots of interior cities and the rest of the hemisphere in the way of shipping. So trains are the preferred choice for freight here.

  • @hulkhatepunybanner What the maps dont show you are the remote towns that are two familes and so on.

    You would think that shipping would cater better, but unfortunatley, the ports are all running at or near capacity. They are scrabbling to find workable solutions.

    I run trucks here and in the US so i understand both places.. Prefer the US personally.

  • @hulkhatepunybanner in the west, the major industry is raw minerals, like iron ore and so on. The mining companies opt for a mixture of trains and road trains.

  • How do you park a road train at Tesco though ?

  • What was the point of the fire at 1.26? just to make it look like a good shot? I don't know.

  • Thats amazing. really amazing.

  • Mad Max 

  • Beautiful OVERSIZE!

  • Awesome!

  • just imagine how long it'd take to stop these long and heavy monster vehicles not to hit a kangaroo or reptile, lulz

  • dear god, what sort of trailer combo do you have to have on your cdl for that????

  • Breaker 1-9, we got north bound Ben Hur...

  • 3:30 Chuck Norris' skateboard

  • Interesting

  • the mammoet's load was crazy!

  • 4:28 SAUSAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GIANT SAUSAGEEEEEEE!!

  • I drove such trucks during the Pipe Line days for Hall & Hall Transport. Those were real experiences.

  • GAY!

  • @iHarry99

    If you're trolling for sex with men, aren't there better sites than youtube for that? I'm just asking, that's all.

  • Should have built the fuel tank by the port.

  • How do you back up in something like that?

  • @CWR032 with due care.

    

  • I wouldn't want to have to buy tires for one of these rigs!

  • Why not just use train?

  • @VereVgaming cause tracks are more expensive and take longer to set up than driving a truck? lol

  • @VereVgaming Trains are limited to a thing known as TRACKS?

  • Simply amazing!

  • 0:35 lolface : O

  • Imagine someone get roll over by the truck. lol.

  • HOLY SHIT THAT'S INSANE & IMPRESSIVE WITH THAT MAMMOET

  • Try to do a 3-point-turn with the Road Train xD

  • Try to do a 3-point train with that beast xD

  • I have to check all the tires by kicking them every morning on my truck and there are 12 tires ,this road train truck has 110 tires ,so you better get to work on time,my coworker is in the hospital now because the steering tire blew on his truck and he could not control the truck and it rolled and threw him all over the cab it demolished the truck

  • That was amazing! :)

  • **diesel engine turns an alternator that charges batteries that suppy power to the electric motor however the alternator and engine can be used to supply addition al power to the wheels.*** for more info go to the paccar inc website @ paccar.com

  • why not use a diesel electric truck..... peterbilt offers one here in the us..... no transmission... diesl generator attached to an electric motor that turns a driveshaft that in turn drives the wheels.... the total hp for this is 350 for the diesel engine and 350 for the electric motor which when connected together by a clutch is 700 hp( the engine only supplies the electricity to the electic motor and is only engaged to drive the wheels when needed) again just a thought

  • btw australia does have some railroads..... bhp iron ore is a mining company that has its own trackage ..... they also have just purchased some american locomotives with 6000 hp

  • just a thought

  • i like trains but i think theyre impractical for australia. think about how big australia isthen think about where you have to lay track who maintains it who the major customers are, with everything spread out if you do have a problem with one of the tracks think how far you would have to detour around it, then your right back to using trucks. furthermore railroads are only efficient with long trains which would require large hubs, not very practical for serving a few people 1000 miles

  • 5:12 You dont wait for the train, the train waits for you

  • How many spare tyres do you think it has?

  • @harismokhtar The 18 speed gearbox is plit in two, you go through the first set of 9 gears then clicks a button on the shift stick and goes through the next set of 9 gears.. I know this because my father drives a similar truck :)

  • @beardy369 we got the same kind of gearbox here but smaler

  • On February 18, 2006, an Australian built Mack truck with 112 semi-trailers, 1,300 t (1,279 LT; 1,433 ST) and 1,474.3 metres (4,836 ft 11 in) long, pulled the load 100 metres (328 feet) 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.

  • Does anyone know that the narrator for ""EXTREME MACHINES" is William Hootkins. He was RED 6 in Star Wars IV.

  • how many crew?

  • it has 18-speed gearbox? i wonder how the gear shift looks like..

  • I want the tire contract!

  • crazy!

  • ciężko takim łuk tyłem zrobić, nie wspomne o kopercie:)

  • 18 speed gearbox is usual one and 550 horse power is nothing. I thought these trucks are much stronger. That is what we use in Europe but our trucks are much shorter and lighter. The typical semi truck in Europe is 16.5meters long and 40tonnes. road trains are 18.5meters and 45tonnes. they can be longer and heavier in some parts of Europe. but these are the usual ones. and we use 400-700 HP trucks. I thought Australian ones are much stronger. But I still love Australian road trains :-)

  • @AllkoDH all the roadtrain rated trucks i have seen are all double chassis rail all the gearing is different huge spring packs etc etc , and once there life is over they usually end up running around normal cities doing heavy haulage local work , 

  • And all those machines are powered by Chuck Norris

  • OMG! it's the Decepticon's Devastator!!!!

  • I'll tell you what though, these thigs are scary as hell when they are driving towards you on a wet road. The tail is swerving around and just as you are about to pass them, they flick up a layer of water and heaps of mist basicaly blinding you. they only thing you can really do to avoid that is see them up ahead and pull of the road.

  • that isnt the longest in Australia..

    Australian built Mack Road Train with 113 trailers 1.474km

    is even longer.

  • mom i want that remote control

  • Woow... breath taking

  • Why dont you try to improve the aerodynamics of your trucks?. Install just hubcaps to your road trains and you would save over 6% of fuel costs. Check out my FleXcap assembly video to see how easy hubcaps can be to assemble.

  • i hate to be the one to change a tyre on this

    5:24 how that bridge don't give is amazing

  • i hate to be the one to change a tyre on this

  • spare tyre? no need can't replace them all :D

  • have a look at the cannington icon

  • Are the Mommoet "self-propelled modular platforms" actually trucks then ?

  • @imautuber444 It depends on your definition of "truck". They are individual modular units which can attach and be controlled as one. I saw them called "trucks" on a monster machines special.

  • 0:31 fast and furious moment??

  • thats one hell of a strong bridge at the end

  • @TeenageSuicide b4 sum1 was sayin tht the bridge broke

  • @senda2009 good for them

  • @TeenageSuicide yeah. but i guess its limit is FAR less than that load, BUT with the amount of wheels id guesstimate it weighs per axle a tad more than a normal 18 wheeler. would love to find the per wheel weight of this thing and its spread out over what 150-200 feet?

  • whoooooah!!! I wanna ride that Mammoet machine and spin and spin and spin for hours !!! XD

  • i would love to drive the sentopen on the roads there at like 100 or 110 MPH would be asome

  • That UTO combination looks like what they used at McArthur River,,, a job now done by another company,,, who I will be up there working for by end of this year

  • WE ARE ROADTRAIN, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE! rofl! :D

  • that shit crazy!!

  • Road Trains are cool

  • 4:55 just unbelievable..!!!

  • imagine counting those wheels, if he didn't tell you.

  • Now that's what I call a mobile home

  • I need 1

  • just amazing...!!!!!!!!

  • 24/7 that was awesome dude

  • if you live next to one of this guys and you upset them you can go to work and when you come back your house might not be where you left it....

  • now i want a mowing house myself :)

  • fast and furious <3

  • I bed that in the end of this clip the bridge collapsed but it got cencored

  • Just Imagine the driver pull up to the tyre shop and said please change all of my tyres.

  • Cat gets hit by a truck

    The cat had 9 lives

    Unfortunately the truck has 110 wheels!

  • @tommypk86....Hahahahahaha, good one!!!

  • @tommypk86 Over 28 axles!

  • @tommypk86

    nice

  • @tommypk86 or it just explodes

  • Oooh God please tell these people to use fright trains instead....These trucks consume fuel like bitch while trains run on electricity !

  • @sitadriver yeah and how do you think that the trains get the electricity.........they have diesel engines that generate electricity. so..........you're still using the same amount of fuel

  • @cfoster861 Actually trains in my country use coal or hydro power....

  • @cfoster861 does the word "friction" ring a bell dude? Addtionally electric engines are much more efficient than diesel engines

  • @sitadriver Hold on what about diesol/electric trains they use diesol to run the electric motors. I agree rail is more friendly and cheaper.

  • @rag5206 I am not sure. Just to build the railway is very expensive. Making iron rails makes loads of CO2 and make the concrete blocks that goes under the rail even more CO2 because when you make cement you make a lot of CO2. And all those trucks that would be needed to build the railway makes CO2. The train could run on electricity but if you make the electricity in charcoal power plant then it makes a lot of CO2. And if you use diesel electric train that is CO2. I'm just saying :-)

  • @sitadriver haha are you serious? Australia has a population of about 23 million which is about the same as the population of the New York City Metropolitan area, only instead of being spread over 17,400 km^2 they are spread over 7,617,930 km^2. It would be simply impossible to create a rail system that would reach all the remote regions that road trains are used to haul goods too.

  • @thagamizer ohh thnx for info...but don't you agree that atleast in America they should use Railways instead...? its more economical .

  • @sitadriver where ever there are railway lines available I absolutely agree that freight should be hailed by rail instead of road, but sometimes trucks are the only option.

  • @tommypk86 116 wheels actually, with 27 doubles on each side and two steering and the cat can only be run over by 28 wheels unless it is a VERY big cat.

  • @kanakaken sorry made a mistake there, must been run over by that truck!!!  It is 110, what was I thinking?

  • imagine if you got ran over my that truck

  • sweet!!! I wish i had 1...

  • trains. use them

    

  • can you say TORQUE.....lol

  • OH FUCK GUYS BP! get ready for another spill in the outback

  • US truckers got nothin on that.

  • It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes!

  • im not gonna lie...thats a big fuck off gas tank

  • what security measures do those BP road trains have?

    I would quite like to steal one.

  • @Doomsday2060 a shotgun!

  • @Doomsday2060 if they see you tryn to steal something on there trailers they will run u off the road. i knw this fella this car cut him off so at the traffic lights he got out pulled out his handgun and pistol whiped the cunt

  • 550 hp engine?! You mean the Bugatti Veyron has almost twice as much horse power as this centipede heavy monster? Wow!

  • @7olusegun Although the torque from a 600HP CAT could literally rip a Veyron in two

  • @Mechknight73 That may be correct! I ain't actually thought of that! The low velocity ratio of the truck (in relation to the Bugatti Veyron's speed) might compensate for the high truck torque.

  • @7olusegun yer but those engine not made for haulin 3-7 trailers they are made for performance.

  • the moving i dont mind but how do they load that stuff

  • @SIPHNEY Depending on the trailers to be loaded, with a container loader, a team of forklifts, or one really busy loader

  • I wonder how they load those big items on that mammote trucks!

  • dude whoever drives that is a STUD

  • ooooaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuu

  • What if someone slashed the tires of the centipede?

  • wow

  • you couldn't fit all of the hot chicks in Australia in 5 of those trucks. some many gorgeous broads come from Australia

  • its the beast

  • i would hate to have to back then into somewhere tight lol

  • fags it was my firends nerdy dad

  • Holy shit this trucks are awesome

    they can like take the white house lol

  • @theprayerpker Be better just to burn it down again!

  • The aussie's are nuts. Gotta love them.

    Greets from holland.

  • @bigcrunch0 Nope true craziness is ice road trucks. I've worked as a longhaul truck driver in remote Western Australia, where I'd be sharing roads with these behemoths. The only time it's scary is when you have a rookie driver whom hasn't got the hang of two or more trailers.

  • WHY IS IT CARRYING A HOUSE

  • cause sum1 wuld of bought it mate

  • @TheeMikester That's not a house, it's part of an industrial building. Biggest thing I've seen a Mamoet rig carry yet is a 6 storey high oil rig section

  • they need that horse power to pull the weight dumbo

  • that is just one amazing thing that i have ever seen, either on the tv or on youtube

  • 550 horse power? so low...in gemrany the mercedes trucks wich one 1 camp had around 600 horse power

  • they dont need 600 hp... ever figured that out.... its like cars.... sum have 250 hp while sum have like 120... still works an get you from a to b

  • @camvvti i know...but you see the standart in australia is low...and they want to have the longest trucks?

  • you dumb fck

  • @DASHER2000AU ...xD shut up

  • @camvvti  Not when your load is over 150 tonnes; you need all the power you can get, unless you're carrying a road train full of polystyrene foam

  • @xXHockeystar2008Xx This truck was build in 1995. And they don't have slopes.

  • ultimate radio controlled 'toy'

  • most expensive to..

  • i would...and why are you watching it? you fuckin dildo!!!

  • @AndrewWallace1 ... Good reply

  • Thanks man people like that just piss me off

  • @nicknvnny107

    I would watch this...and apparently you would too. You don't have to hate just b/c these trucks are bigger and more powerful than anything you'll ever have.
