good... god.... What would you need to move that would require something that big? I guess you could relocate Cuba if you wanted to...

From what the Discovery Channel tells me... Most earth-movers and dump-trucks this big are generally employed in large-scale mining operations. Historically, they used narrow gauge trains, but they would have to pull up and re-lay the track almost everyday.

No, no, you've got it all wrong. This beast is a joint-venture between GM and CAT. You see, GM is mad that the Excursion is bigger than the Suburban. So with this, you will get much more room, and some features not found on the competitors (ie, the handy shovel-plow on the front).
It should be available at your local GM dealer in 2 years, badged possible as a Hummer, but probably as a 'Chevrolet Total Crew Cab River Fording Family Crusier', or simply 'Apocalyps' (in accordance with Avalanche)

haha- also from what i've heard is that some of the bigger trucks, they dissamble them and either put them on trains, or haul them on tractor trailers....

that is huge! you must have to assemble it on site! where can I drive one? :D

I saw a show on how they build them... They assemble sub components in a giant factory, and then move them out to the job site, where they are built... they make them larger than that too.

off subject: looks like the back tire needs air

Now that I look at it, your right.

It could still easily slip over and destroy that car. :) I wouldn't like to drive alongside it in case it didn't see me and pulled over for a rest... :uhoh:

very effective. lol:p

i wonder if you could drive in between the thing

Doesn't look big enough for that, but there are bigger ones, where it has a gap about as wide as that truck.

The T282 hauler from Liebherr Mining Equipment Company is currently the largest such truck in the world. It is able to haul 400 tons with its 3500 horsepower Cummins diesel engine. It is the only truck currently in operation which can load a full four scoops from the world's largest bucket shovels.

The price for one of these trucks is $3,000,000, not including tires. All large trucks like the T282 don't just have wing mirrors to see what is behind when they reverse; they also have video cameras, usually two on either side and another on the rear axle, to give the driver a full view of the road around him or her.

Overall length: 48.5 ft Overall width: 29.75 ft Empty vehicle weight: 443,000 lbs/ 201,000 kg/ 197 tons
Operating weight loaded: 1,163,000 lbs/ 528,590 kg/ 597 tons

MAY NOT BE A TRUCK
