what's the point of those hueg dump trucks? why not just multiple smaller dump trucks?

it's basically a mobile fortress and that's awesome but still

With a 363t haul capacity you'd need a ridiculous amount of normal dump trucks to haul that much, Which would use more fuel and take more time.

>why not just multiple smaller dump trucks?
Smaller trucks also means the crane scoop needs to make more total passes. That in itself adds a lot of time for the entire job.

Economies of scale probably, they figured out using huge trucks is more efficient than using smaller ones.

>why use a shovel to dig a hole when you can use many people with spoons

/org/ here. Where can I buy a couple of these axles to swap in under my shitbox so I can finally run 158s?

I wonder what kind of gas mileage that thing gets. I wonder what it's 0-60 is.

They'd rather pay one driver a generous wage than 20 drivers making only a few thousand less.

It's top speed is 40 MPH loaded, unloaded who knows

It does 0.03 miles to the gallon. It has a 1000 gallon fuel tank and 117 liter quad turbo diesel V24 engine

>tfw this thing travels farther on one tank than my car

It's a lot cheaper. I think there was a YouTube video about a single earth mover versus a fuckload of F150s

Your car can't even make it 30 miles?

*waits my turn*
>tfw this is a much smaller truck than OPs

Tell the story right.

The steam shovel was invented. It had a huge bucket and dug an enormous ditch in a short amount of time. The union boss said "That job could have been done by a hundred men with shovels." The Foreman said "Or a thousand men with table spoons."

are these diesel electric?

They'd rather pay the lowest amount possible that gets the job done quickest. Jobs aren't created just to create jobs. If it was cheaper to pay 20 people to drive 20 trucks then that's what they would do.

Yeah, series hybrids like a Chevy Volt or a freight train

When it comes to large scale mining they usually care more about profit/day than total profit. I work for a company that sells mining equipment that's 300% more expensive than competitors and only 60% more efficient. We're doing fine

Also most people seem to misunderstand. The dumper in op's pic isn't transporting any goods. It's just moving itself to another location

Have that scene in 2F2F where that Mustang Cobra R went underneath a semi's wheels in my head.

I wish I could see that happening to a stanced car.

>Economies of scale
A bunch of nerds running a bunch of numbers would agree with you,senpai

>1000 gallon fuel tank
mfw pulls up to gas pump before I get there.

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

so is flipping over

You ain't low enough nigger.

>jeeps overtaking anything

I watched a program about how they made the bearings and suspension for these things, fucking insane. I think the show was modern marvels or one of those tech shows on history channel

What are those cables holding lumber around the rear axles for?

Looks like they're holding something on the brake drums together or it's where it sits on the trailer. Those are just temporary tires and wheels for transport. They're suppressed to have duallies in the back.

Time to slam my 240z and drive under cuz smol car life

So at least we know it's not a series of tubes.

Actually fuck it he can run me over

With those tires just drive NEXT to the road. Fucking bastard.

I WANNA DANCE

>117 liter quad turbo diesel V24 engine
I'm getting a boner

>measure your fuel economy in gallons per mile

It's really just a generator, electric motors move the thing

IS THIS THE WORLD'S THICCEST TRUCC?

This and also more trucks = more drivers = more wages

...

Those Michelin supersport 1200/100/R36's tho.

*finds new path*

No, that's one of the smaller off-road dumps. I've seen much bigger.

*flips behind u*

how microscopic is the drivers penis have to be to drive this thing?

C O O L V I B R A T I O N ' S

Yes. That's still a ton of power. I also admire the inline 16 2 strokes they put in old trains

Jepp fag are the worse

can't turn

>It has a 1000 gallon fuel tank
i'll pull up my truck like a mosquito and siphon 30 gallons, he'll never know i was there

*Slams brakes

what are those headlights? they look so big
are they like helicopter spot lights?

Out of my way, junior.

I'd say at least R48s if not R60s.

thicc

what the fuck.

The Bagger 288 looks like it came out of a Mad Max movie.

too bad they killed it

>It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

What's the mpg on that thing?

A lot of those are running driverless as we speak.

The companies up in northern Canada actually hire a lot of women to drive them. They're more cautious I suppose.
