14 DAY TRIAL // I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this picture on Twitter. I must admit I wiped my eyes twice, and still had serious trouble believing it was legit.
The mind-blowing image you can see above shows a regular trailer transporting one of those massive mining trucks, and it's impressive because you don't get to see something like this every day.
And given that the mining truck is so incredibly big, it literally dwarfs the trailer that carries it and makes it look ridiculously small, like a toy car. Could we call it a toy truck transporting truck?
Many are probably wondering why they don't move the giant aggregate, which is specifically engineered for use in high-production mining and heavy-duty construction environments, on its own wheels. Well, you should know that they are not allowed on public roads.
It seems that these giant mining trucks have a top speed lower than the one generally accepted on the road, and I guess the fact that they are not allowed on public roads also has something to do with weight restrictions.
So, when they have to move them from one mining site to another, they get creative, I guess. Maybe someone with more knowledge in mining issues can give us a more logical explanation in the comment section below.
