The way you said "G'day, how's it going?" at the start of the video, was the most natural sounding from an American that I've ever heard in my life. Kudos brother 👏
I hear that and totally vouch for this haha
Yeah it took me for a spin when I heard it ahaha
My Home state Ian. They load them on the trailer with the inner set of wheels, those ramps have hydraulic rams. These haulpacks are nearly all Autonomous (driverless) now.
My dad's dad, drove logging trucks and later moved houses (I helped ready a house once, which was interesting), you'd probably freak at seeing how narrow and hairy the dirt roads are the log trucks fly along, you'd love watching I reckon
my guess is they would have a bay that lowers the bed height, so they can load them, but that's only because I can't imagine the crane big enough to lift those lol
Hydraulics, air bags just raise or lower then just reserve trailers under them
@@chriswilliams2175 oh true, didn't even cross my mind
I'm from Melbourne, Victoria and I'm in awe at the size of those loads, which are ginormous !!
The drivers of those trucks would be the crème de la crème of drivers of anything. 🤪🤗👍
The video of the trucks at the beginning is the outskirts of Perth. The part of the video is steep its called Bindoon Hill its the highest hill of the Darling Range. This area I know the back of my hand lived there from a infant until my early 30s before moving south too Busselton. You need in that look into the southwest Busselton / Margaret River region . Gods Country
Hey! Watched every single one of your Australian content videos - and even AS an Australian, your enthusiasm us contagious 😊
It's great to see/hear an American that isn't belittling Australia and its "oddities".
Now all we need is for some savvy Australian company to bring you and your family out here to see everything first hand! 😅 (Tax write-off for them as advertising! 😁)
First time I came across one of these monsters was up near Newman in Western Australia, it was travelling at about 40km/h, and using the entire road from white post to white post and I had the privilege of joining everyone else in going about 20 metres off the road into the scrub to get past him.
Luckily it was an open and smooth area so not to stressful on the old Commodore wagon.
Muchea pronounced Mew shay.
Township just north of Perth.
An Addendum to my last comment. The trailers have the ability to spread. Some are capable of spreading from approx 8 feet to sixteen feet. This allows them to bedriven towed or pushed up the ramps and onto the trailer. I noticed that the first rig with the pusher prime mover was a CABOVER Centurion Transport rig. An old friend who should have retired years ago drives either that rig or it's mate. Those Centurion rigs for heavy haulage "BELONG TO THE DRIVER". Nobody else drives those rigs unlees the regular driver is unavailable long term. on the return trip unless they are bringing a load back to Perth, the trailers are narrowed up to fit in one lane, and partially dismantled with the commnts loaded on to the flat top.
These drivers have to know each other and their own trucks very well to achieve such precision. Even if they're not in radio contact every second of the journey, their coordination is amazing. Huge risk, yes, because anything can go wrong, the satisfaction of a good job done has to be enormous.
This is where I drive my own roadtrain. Perth to anywhere north of there. But only 2 trailers. It's always good to get out of the city!
Recognised Bindoon hill as soon as it popped up (Bindoon that hill many times), it is a long hard pull for the trucks, it goes up about 100m (~330ft) in 6km (`~4mi), and can be 'fun' coming down the other direction.....
you know its working when you can see the engine torque twist the truck chassis, Check the front bumper height right to left😁
You can imagine what these transmission temperatures are rising to on the hills, there are often separate dual snorkles behind the truck cab to aid gearbox cooling.
The truck in the other direction that has pulled off the road has been communicated with by radio by the outlier utes and warned to move over. So have any cars that have CB radio.
Got stuck behind a couple of these going up to Bindoon Bakery a couple of weeks ago. Extremely big machinery! Can’t imagine the cost for the transport including the pilots and other escorts.
I used to operate the CAT 793F at Solomon Mine (FMG) in Western Australia. A rough truck to operate. I preferred the Komatsu Electrics. Very smooth. A CAT 793C was more comfortable to drive than the 793F.
My home state Western Australia 💜💜. Btw so proud of you actually recognising all the parts of Australia not just the big cities Thankyou!
As an European, one of the coolest things i've gotten to do in Australia was backseating a truck driver of a road train that was transporting our stuff. Tough job, but the country is very pretty and the blokes are really nice.
That hill is called bindoon hill , it’s only about 80km out of Perth , those loads came directly out of Perth , straight from the metro area
Driving down One of our highways one day and there was a t
semi carrying a giant tank my mate who is a truck driver told me to stop. he said it's like a wedding.have l got a camera to take pictures just chance l had 1 in the glove box he was going crazy he still has the photos it was unbelievable cheers ☮️🇦🇺🇺🇸
Hey mate! Hope all is well
The last FEL was a Volvo L45 and I miss that thing! Having a fork attachment was fun unloading flat beds.
My guess for where this was filmed is Coolgardie, Western Australia - that road train assembly area is where road trains are broken up into single trailer combinations for the run into Perth
yeah, I think they offload and pickup from different points, similar to regular trains
@@user-ze2om1de8w
it said Muchea assembly area
Those mine dumpers are usually 80 to ,100 ton complete their load at least 90 ton and all hydraulic power and controlled by computer and joystick
@@user-ze2om1de8w
it clearly shows at beginning of video
Muchea assembly area
there is none closer to Perth
@@user-ze2om1de8w
righto
I must be going to the wrong area then
Road train assembly areas - sometimes drivers shed a carriage and pick it up on the way back, and this is where they do that.
There's a tv show you would love its called outback truckers
Howdyyawl from the land down under. Blood Oath mate. Some of these big trucks are 1200 hp. The emgines are almost as big as a small sv.21 speed boxes. Able to drag 200 metric tonnes. A lot of respect goes to the drivets of these rigs. Keeping it real 😊
These trucks are two bob a dozen in Western Australia.
There is an Australian magazine called Trucking Life that has fascinating articles on trucking in Australia.
The opening scene near the roundabout is only about 40-50km north of Perth.
You wanna have a look at some of the side tipping road trains used for mineral resources transport. The company I work for produces 3-5 combinations costing of either 3 and 4 trailers per set with 2 or 3 dollys each respectively and we've even done a few 5 trailer/4 Dolly combinations
Yes very majestic indeed. I just love these heavy haulers 👌🤗🇦🇺
The internet knows everything, I drove up Bindoon hill yesterday and today a youtube video with a truck going up Bindoon hill pops up...
I've had to get out of the way of trucks hauling the big mine trucks in Queensland. Once it was just carrying the bucket. I was talking to the police escort later. 9 meters wide.
Seen those heading up to the mines (oversized, overload pilots escorting them) in Pilbara (Perth to Pilbara mines)
High Ian and family, your nearly child like enthusiasm for heavy haulage gets me every time, dude,as my father dealt with heavy marine haulage, I can appreciate your enjoyment totally, once again a great video, keep up the great work dude, my regards to all your family are friends,God bless you all,chau for now
7:36 thats bindoon hill after muchea about 40min north of perth. These trucks going up to the mines in Newman. That hill is steep im up there in 3rd direct grear in an 18 speed road ranger at 120tonnes
My Dad drove trucks most of his life, in Western Australia and Queensland. Everything from little Isuzu mail trucks to road trains. He worked for McAleese Transport out of Mackay for a while before retirement. I’d go along when I wasn’t stuck in boarding school.
During a drought it was typical to ship molasses out to cattle stations; cattle would be fed molasses with their feed to basically keep them alive. We drove a shipment from Mackay to Alpha, about 500km. He was assigned one of the oldest trucks in the fleet, an old Mack. Coming through the Drummond Range before Alpha, the truck was struggling with the weight, especially with the molasses shifting to the back. At one point Dad wasn’t confident the truck would make it, told me to open my door, and if he said JUMP! I was to abandon ship. Several minutes on the edge of my seat, literally. The truck made it over, barely. He wasn’t happy with the company assigning that load to the old girl. They did that crap to him all the time.
That was definitely Western Australia, with the signs for Tonkin highway
These are crazy, what if one part broke down? Or they lost a load? I was going to ask how do they get those loads on too, wow! 😲 Life and big trucking around WA is certainly different to NSW and Tasmania! Good luck guys! 👍
Gantry cranes
@@jeffreyflynn2805 Ok, Australian Manufactured cranes of course! 👍
You should watch Mega Truckers which was run by a guy by the name of Jon Kelly. He had some very nice trucks and he was into all the mega haulage
Seen this TV show on 7Mate here in Australia and it's called Aussie Truck Rehab it looked ok seems the show started back in 2023 but i never seen or heard of this TV show.
Something you may not have picked up on is. That in all of those clips all of the trailes are revered to a "flouts". And have 8 tires per axel. Unlike a normal truck that has 4 tires per axel. So say a "flout" with 6 axels means that it has 48 tires. Also just about all of those clips have what to you lookes like a small mini trailer between the "primemover" and the "flout". This is called a "loadshear" it also is on rows of 8 tires thay only come as two axel and what the "loadshear" dose is to help distribute the whate frome the front of the "flout" so thers more of the whate being distirbuted greater to the ground across 16 tires with the loadshear. Apoused to the "primemover" that has 8 tires. Unless it is tri dtive than it is 12 tires.
Float... We float equipment over here.
I'm pretty sure those massive dump trucks are called "Haul Packs" or "Haul trucks" in Australia 🙃
Thats just the norm in Western Australia, massive trucks and even bigger loads, alot of those loads would travel 1000km or more to get to where there going.
A few years ago, i was doing some caravan repairs for a male person. He claimed to be a N.S.W. detective. It transpired later he was in our locality to identify certain persons of interest to the local constables. We were chatting and a dump truck transport passed through. H said Western Australia was certifiable because there was Pilot in front then a ??? Police Escort Vehicle driven usually by a retired Police Officer Ex Military etc. and tailed by a secondPilot Vehicle. In NSW, there would hve bee upto six Rod Traffic Police Vehicles. One way out front checking to make sure there was no obstructions one behind the front Pilot , Two ensuring the road was kept clear usually driving wrong way along side the low loader unit , one between the load and the rear Pilot and one behind the rear Pilot as a chase vehicle. In W.A. now it is as you see it Front Pilot, Rear Pilot who carries out road blockages, lane blockages etc and they incuding the low loader have more cammeras than a Hollywood film set. The Pilots are trained and have legal powers to control traffic etc and if you don't follow their directions, you will be stopped down the road and charged. they are able to transmit the camera footage in almost real time.
Its what we do, that's life
Hi mate, since you looked at the Irish EMS vehicles something thats quite different is the vehicles in Northern Ireland. They have some pretty cool stuff due to its peculiar nature.
Good guess about the location, Ian, although the Haulpaks (minus the trays) are a giveaway. The prime movers could be headed anywhere but if they heading for the North West, then they have a long way to go, judging by the road sign. The Muchea (pronounced Mewshay) sign indicates they have just left Perth and passing through the Avon Valley. Bindoon, which is mentioned in the video, use to have an annual rock festival in the 1980s and 1990s, featuring all the old greats of Australian rock'n'roll, including Jimmy Barnes with the odd guest muso (musician). Even Meat Loaf played there once.
you need to check out "Bruce in Aus" he finds abandoned trucks and gets them running again!
Y'all gotta see ""2400 hp mack power over the Eaton range.
You guys in the states must have big rigs to move these mining rigs around should be similar to ours
Check this out mate, Moving Loy Yangs Goliath 650 tonne Generator load from Gippsland to Port Melbourne
Mucia is pronounced mu-shay Ian. Love to you and your wife and kids, and all your extended family. Where's your dad Pedro it would be great to see him in a reaction video
At 6:49 that is Western Australia Bindoon hill it's the biggest hill north out of Perth .
Fair enough👍
Imagine the braking it takes to stop that weight and they are not exactly moving that slowly.
What they do it put the dump truck up on portable ramps , trailer is then reversed under the unit then the trailer raise up , by hydraulic then pull the ramps out with forklift and trailer lowers back down to , normal road settings
I worked for a small engineering company as a Truck driver/Crane op. I was amazed how many times I looked at what they were fabricating and had to go to management and ask them how they planned to transport the product. There are a lot of educated idiots around!
A lot off money involved, permits ,pilot vechiles , police etc , routes etc
@@chriswilliams2175 Which management had not even thought of!
I’d like to see this kind of thing done in the snow - are there videos of heavy trucking in the Alps?
These probably aren't the Biggest Haul trucks as They are being hauled with Tyres on. On the Great Eastern Highway in W.A. they haul the tyres and the trays on separate Trailers. The procedure to pass them is to make sure that the highway is clear for the next couple of miles, pullout and pass accelerating to 120 km/h 80 mph and pulling in when clear of the convoy . The traffic police might not like it but it's actually the safest way and the Truckers appreciate when you pass quickly and safely ... They have a heavy load to look after and I only pass when the way is absolutely clear. We've lost too many lovely people on that 600km 360mile stretch of highway ....
You're right, I think they are the Komatsu 830E's, ~240t payload, the 930E's would be way too wide with wheels on, they have a capacity of ~320t.
I go on the last road all the time
You ahould check out the show outback truckers Australia
Just to let you know, the snooker world championships is currently being played so if you wanted to catch some quality snooker, now’s the time!

Your 18 wheelers look like toys to Aussie trucks. Generally our single trucks are 22 wheelers. Road trains are outer this world. I don't believe other countries haul as many heavy loads as Australia. It is because of our size & minimal infrastructure. Keep up the interesting vids.
When you see one of these heading towards you, the lead vehicle gets you to drive off the road onto the shoulder until they pass.
These haul trucks are 5.8 meters wide
She be right mate oi oi oi🍻
I´M over the Moon, not seeing Luna cam anymore😺
Always funny when you notice a UTE, even more as most of the european car brands have a kind of UTE to, most of today they have a closed back. They have a regular hatchback base, like the VW Golf became the VW Caddy for example. And they are becoming more popular all over europe. Renault Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner.
Renault Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner are commercial vans or multi-purpose vehicles, not Ute's
The term "Ute" generally isn't used often in Europe, they're usually called Pickup or Pick-up
You should check those mining trucks and excavators / wheel loaders, they're pretty damn big. It's hard to grasp how big they are until you're standing next to one.
If I'm right, they were Komatsu 830E's not even the biggest, yet when you stand next to one you come up to maybe the wheel hub.
Can not say it is N.T or W.A by thinking a mining truck is on a semi. Archerfield QLD suburb in Brisbane does the big mining truck beds and always saw them being transported on semi out to the mines in outback QLD.
Knew a guy who did the pilot vehicles for them..
Queensland is child's play compared to WA. Little tonka toys 😁😆
Have you also seen the video? Of the New Scania 770s in Australia?
It’s Gidday Howzit Garn (going)Rippa Rita
In NSW the b doubles have to be under 85ft but other states can be longer
Not correct. 26m
The UK has lorries, not trucks, because they're strange.

How do they get them on the trailer? Carefully 😂

1:25 I bet @georainbolt could tell you in less than 2 seconds which part of Australia this is and a couple of minutes more then tell you the exact coordinates 😂
no effort before stream .been a while
You want to watch chris gail in the IPL
Ian did you know that the Australian Sleeper ( as seen at 3:12 ) was invented by an American then Kenworth stole the idea and took it to Australia and never payed the inverter . I just thought you should know I just bought some more Vegemite so if you come over I'll make you some toast ,
You want to try flowing these things up a range or a winding hilly road ,too slow .
Lived in WA most my life, don't think I've ever seen "push pull".
Hey im a driver of oversize trucks in australia doing loads upto 350 ton
Sorry; my mistake and I did not intend it to be any form or promotion or advertising. I removed my comment. I was not aware that it was in violation. I was not meaning any offence to anyone.
react to Jp Performance please. He is a German tuner.
