  • geez i thought driving a quad was long, but that is loooong. is that a private road or public highway??.. nice vid..

  • 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

  • Dang I lost track on the 10nth one...

  • lol imagine pulling out to overtake 8-O

  • now, this is what we can call a long truck.

  • 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.

  • @Lycon721995 nope, the last one is part of the truck

  • theres 7

  • The longest a road train can ever get IN SERVICE. 7 trailers at max.

  • ten to gigant
