For those saying there are 7 trailers, there are six. The truck is a dump truck witch may be casing the confusion since the dump bed is the same as the trailers' dump beds. The third trailer from the back has a 400 hp Cummins and Allison automatic transmission driving the three axles on that trailer for a sort of push, pull assist setup. The truck has a 600 horsepower Cummins and Allison in it bringing the total hp to 1,000. I bet monitoring 2 drive-trains is hell on the operator.

@leapoffaith20 They did actually, as these rigs are illegal on public roads and the entire area they drive in is owned by the mine. Plus, I can imagine these trucks having a hard time on dirt with that much weight on them.

My company just installed truckwashers at The Granites and Dead Bullock Soak to clean these. The length caused some interesting engineering problems.

I think there are six of these combinations operating at the Granites gold mine on their private haul road.
The mine is approximately 550 km nth west of Alice Springs
