mining trucks

Quarry heavy haulers

Mining trucks are massive heavy-duty vehicles designed to haul ore, rock, and overburden in open-pit mines.

The largest models can carry over 400 tons per load and stand two stories tall, dwarfing ordinary highway trucks.

Also called haul trucks or dump trucks in mining contexts: The mining trucks ran continuously, moving coal from the pit to the processing plant.
