    For all the people who are asking "why not use a railroad?" These trucks use existing roads for the most part. A train can not turn off to visit individual properties which may be hundreds of kilometres apart. Railroads are used to join major centres. Australians, like most people, use the system that works best for the given environment. I live in rural Australia and share the roads with these trucks. Most road train drivers will signal you to let you know when it is safe to overtake them but believe or not, they are often the ones who overtake retired travellers in their motor homes and caravans.

      Always somewhere like Port Hedland or Karratha where you could have a railway between there and Perth, and you built it to the same standard as the Darwin railway or transcontinental with double stack container train. Distance alone makes it a worthwhile prospect

      i do not understand why they don't just build a railroad if its that much stuff they need to move for that long of a distance... to me a train would be more efficient and cost less money on fuel and maintenance (it can't be cheap when its time to replace all them tires).... unless i'm missing something here a good diesel electric train would be prefect for this job...

      this is not much longer. A triple is usually between 30-40 meters, road trains allowed max length is 60 meter. And the usual roadtrains are consist of 3-4 trailer judging by the pictures and videos. In Finland you can see 35 meter long trucks too

    The modular part is by far more interesting than the sort-of-long truck. In my railroad experience, we often run 8,500 ft long trains weighing up to 13,000 tons, but they are stuck on a single track. These modular vehicles have to be extremely expensive to operate.

    • @dickspider8393

      They all need their own individual power system which is more inefficient then a unified power system for all also take into considering the kind of damage it does to the road as well as the congestion they cause in traffic. They must suck for general usage but they are great for very spessific heavy tasks

    • @Syncrusan
      @Syncrusan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Because by the time the power gets to wheels the torque has increased by some stupid magnitudes.
      Most these trucks will have a low, mid, and high range gear setting before it goes the the "normal" 18+ gears that reduce the ratio far beyond any other truck.
      Once it leaves the transmission and goes through the drive shaft to the differential, the differential will reduce the ration even more by standard.
      When the power leaves the differential it "might" have planetary gears in the hub of each wheel to reduce it more. But this last one is only for really big shit like this 6+ trailer road train.
      But keep it mind that the engines in these rigs will be V10s or up.

    Just to give some perspective. The largest cattle station (ranch) in Oz is Anna Creek, at 6 million acres, 25,000 square kilometres or 10,000 square miles... larger than Israel, or nearly the size of Belgium (30,00 square kilometres). Seven times larger than the largest US ranch (in Texas of course. ;-) Rail is not profitable for such remote locations, except for some giant mines... and those mining trains stretch for miles. The record for rail here "consisted of 682 loaded iron ore wagons and 8 GE AC6000 locomotives giving a gross weight of almost 100,000 tonnes and moved 82,262 tonnes of ore, the train was 7.353 km (4.568 miles) long.

      Nobody is saying it is more cost effective but it's certainly more flexible. Rail is constantly discussed here and many of us would like more but it has its limits. For carrying ore from a mine or picking up grain from silos and delivering to a port it makes sense. For carting cattle around properties dotted all over the outback in 40 degree heat it doesn't
