my dad takes them, he left yesterday with a pink one for breast cancer. theres a convoy of 4 of them with his being the only pink one. there only around 50-60 ton and they get carried on 50 ton floats. now days they have to have 2 traffic police escorts, and 5 pilot escort vehicles for the 4 of then.

Its written as 160ton dumptruck bodies... That is their capacity, they hold about 160 ton of dirt. They weighbetween 40 and 80 ton, depending on their size etc.

@fkuaso Those look to be dump bodies for Cat 797 mining trucks.

Don't think I have ever seen a W.A. oversize load going as slow as 80KPH. I know that they are supposed too, but they never do

[Biggertonka]

Yes They do. In Queensland the maximum speed limit for oversize loads is 80 km an hour.

[Amed2012]

i would like to ask you something does the drivers had any kind of speed restriction?

[Biggertonka]

I am an escort vehicle driver and pilot those size loads pretty often. The trucks get about 2km per litre empty and down as low as 800 metres a litre loaded.
