Hi pc2drth,

Very nice video! I started getting into all sorts of open cast mine trucks, face shovels, and machines a while ago but have not seen this before.

Is it meant for underground mines as well or is this a new type of lower profile dump truck?

Take care,

mrbluenun

@mrbluenun These Kress trucks are definitely not underground mine trucks. The Freedom Mine features two or three of the world’s largest Kress haulers at 300 tons. There others are 240-ton capacity. The uni-body design provides a tremendous amount of flexibility for maneuvering and ease of transportation.

[pc2drth]

@KartAnimal29 It's a 240-ton Kress coal hauler.
