Brilliant video. The road trains make our trucks in the Uk 🇬🇧 look like toys.
The legend of the road train truck
You have to give credit where its due the aussie's know how to build the finest trucks in the universe and the size is epic 😎 ❤ aussie trucks 🚚
That first truck is our truck now it’s sitting in my workshop
CharlesHull?
What a lot of people don't understand about these trucks is that it's 'DISTANCE' …. 'ECONOMY' …. and just out and out 'ENDURANCE' that matters. Speed has nothing much to do with it. It is NOT uncommon for most of these trucks to clock up 1 million MILES, have sleeve changes and then clock up another million miles. I believe that some machines are now into their 3rd millionth mile adventure. THAT is the stunning wonder about these machines. If you look after these machines, they are almost un-killable.
Million kms mate. Not miles.
I put over 3 million miles on a 379 pete. Blew the crank down texas way rebuilt it and put another mill on it.. 3406 cat with an 18 behind it.. That was a good ol truck. We moved a lot freight old blue and i..
You're 100% correct. Unfortunately with the steering wheel attendants who can only operate an auto or synchronised gearbox nowadays good operators who are leaving the game are being replaced with incompetent drivers.
Great footage. Thanks!
Cheers Kanlife.
I was on the firt road from Port Augustas to Cooper Peedy 50 years ago when i saw a plumb of dust well into the distance. I knew to stop and prepare for what was a real experience being passed by one of these behemoths on the dirt.I got all wet rags around any openening waited for it to pass. I thought I was a goner for sure.
At 2:20 we see Bulkline Haulage's Volvo. Well that truck's numbers are unbelievable. She tows a so called Mega Quad four trailer set, which is 60 meters (!!!) long. When loaded, the combination weighs a whopping 234 tonnes. The prime mover is a specially built FH16 700 twin steer, five axle monster. You're pretty fortunate you could capture this amazing beast. Of course the other road trains are breathtaking too. Auski Roadhouse is always busy, that place is the truck lovers' Heaven. :)
700 hp Volvo cummins signature 620 pulls better then the Volvo 700
It sure was a beast, so happy to have seen and captured it!
Im not so sure it was an amazing idea. Volvos are a great truck....for mail
volvo 5 axle are common in the Netherlands as a dumptruck with a insulated bucket to haul hot ashfalt. max weight 50 metric ton.
... and I thought a BAB Quad was big ... that thing was humongous ...
I wanted to drive trucks across Australia's open roads. I got my HR license as its the heaviest I could get straight from a car.
The only jobs I was eligible for were city driving....bugger that.
Bought a HR truck after selling everything I had and worked as an owner operator all across Australia.
The size of these big road trains are incredible and you have to stand next to one to really get a grasp on how massive they are.
At truck stops fuelling up the road trains idling shakes the air in your lungs.
It seems that with the wankers in control, you have to graduate THROUGH the crap. Sad …. but hang in there my friend, you'll make it.
Have you ever driven road trains…….. you need to earn the rite, there’s enough peanuts on the road as it is without allowing someone with no experience to operate a road train.
I'm driving the first road train I used to love dusting out the tourists getting in my way🤣👍
more trucks... i love this shit... i miss australia :(
Great footage thanks
Luigi
Thanks for watching Andrew.
Nice
i used to drive a quad at north Queensland and a triple at Lenora WA
If I may ask a question. .......why are there mud/rock flaps in front of the front tires?
Bet air filter maintenance is an almost daily thing on those dirt track mining trucks.
Yeah they cop a hammering don't they!
Os caminhões australianos,são verdadeiros trens de pneus 😁👍
Super video cool
Cheers for your support marco!
Oz Outback Family thanks
Oz Outback Family thank you
Best I love
4:15 good shoot mate.

There are no bigger Road trucks in the world.
Mantap.... 👍🏻
It might well be possible to have traffic lights at the back of these beasts, controlled sensors at the front...well just a thought

Wondering what's the most trailers a roadtrain can have these videos I have seen four can they have more than that
The so called centipede road train is a special one with 6, I believe it depends state to state as to the number a truck can have.
Most road legal combos max out out at four, five in some areas. It’s done more on length, with most highways allowing up to 53 meters. Areas with a lot of mining will allow up to 60 meters to get more dirt moved.
I think I wouldn't dare try and overtake one of those. ... Hmmm I would end up driving behind them all day and never get to my destination 😊
@riplstrip 85kph for the really heavy ones
On a straight empty road there’s no problem!

I been to Auski roadhouse at near the gt northern highway anď old mining town called wittenoom and to Tom price wittenoom nanutarra road house
Great spot isn't it
I always liked the pilbara it's has a feeling about it and also I grew up in a mining town called Tom price in the 80.s and lived in port hedland in 2009 to 2012 4yrs
We are waiting here in Australia for the Tesla Semi .... yeh .... nah what ? we are not getting it yet , I wonder why ?
Ho Ho Ho 🤣🤣🤣
ini Australia daerah mananya sih??
Hi mate this was filmed in northern Western Australia east of the town of Tom Price at a roadhouse. Cheers for watching 👍
When did Road Trains start running? Were they running in the 1940s? 1950s? 1960s? Is there any footage of vintage Road Trains?
watch my videos
silverblackss, that's going to take 48 minutes to get an answer to the first question.
riplstrip he was 100% Australian not Swedish and the first roadtrain was 1934
Does anything like this run in US?
@@darylcheshire1618 the largest in the U.S. are triples. Double 47' run in most of the country. I'm not sure if the triples are 47' or 40-53'. They don't run in my part of the country (Southeast).
I dimly recall that the prime mover has to use a large engine of a certain size by law and can’t use a wimpy engine to cut costs.
Nope
No legal limits on the engine, just practical. A wimpy engine will not move a loaded combo on flat ground; let alone get it up even a small hill. They need big engines for heavy loads and large hills.
😀👍
I guess they get paid by the ton!
Per hour
Or load
Mpg???? Transmissions???
@riplstrip The Volvo definitely isnt manual
Everything from autos to the big road rangers (crash boxes). Kilometres per litre will vary wildly depending on load, length, temperature, and engine; but most will carry 1000+ litres of fuel and expect to get at least 700+ kilometres to a tank.
