Hello; When material tonnage is your income, there is no time for downtime. That's why it's your and our goal to keep your equipment moving. For example, we can minimize wear and improve equipment performance by adding one or more special components to our tires to suit your mining conditions. The image above shows the Belaz 75710, the world's largest mining dump truck. This gigantic vehicle is 20.6 m long, 8.16 m high and 9.87 m wide. For those unfamiliar with metrics, let's break this down. It is 67.5 feet long, 28 feet high and 32 feet wide. Belaz has a payload capacity of 496 tons and a maximum speed of 64 mph. The truck uses two 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines, each producing around 2300 HP. For a size comparison, you can see the mid-size sedan in the picture. He is dwarfed by the nearby truck. But let's get to what's really important here. How big are the tires? Belaz has eight large Michelin tubeless pneumatic tires. Each of these is about 13 meters tall.
