on my mine visit (see o&k rh400 post) last but not least i got to see the massive 6300 unit rig hauler. amazing engineering!. i seen these hauling out of the pit and i was amazed at the relative speed they moved!. its unreal that something so heavy can reliably travel up hills this speed 24-7 !. awesome machine. here is short video clip of the machines... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSfxud_QbZ0&feature=channel_page

Your making Australia look pretty...... pretty full of equipment! Like the dove tail design of the Terex. PS. I'm no engineer and there is a good reason for that however, that tray sure looks shallow (I know they have similar designs fitted to the 797's). Surely trucks that size can handle deeper beds... shorter life? Rowan.

They are for iron ore which is very heavy, hence you cannot put too much on without over loading. Same reason why coal beds are huge as coal is nice and light. If you mined wood chips then the body could absolutely massive as they are very light.
It is all about payload = tonnes, not volume

nice pics this may be a silly question but what tonnage are they rated for? and are they bigger or smaller than a 797??

Bryce,
These trucks are a 400 ton class truck so I am thinking around the same as the 797.
