haul trucks

Giant ore carriers

Haul trucks are massive dump trucks used in mining and large-scale earthmoving operations, capable of carrying loads exceeding 400 tons.

Unlike standard dump trucks, they're designed for off-road use in quarries and open-pit mines: The haul trucks ran continuously, moving ore from the pit to the processing plant.

Some operations now use autonomous haul trucks that navigate without drivers.
