    What happened to CAT 6120b? (World's largest exacator)

    Cat announced their new product several years ago and as far as I know it's been on hold since then. Is there someone who knows more about what's happening with the 1300 ton machine? Are we gonna see it dig dirt any time soon? P.S sorry for the typo.

    BELAZ 450 ton dump truck specifications released along with a model of the truck!!!

    The truck is officially under exploitation in Kuzbass Rusia now. Seeing how it works is truly impressive. The machine is 50% heavier than the previous 360 ton model still it seems to run smoothly. Belaz have claimed that as soon as they see bigger excavators they will produce a 550 ton truck...

    I simply can't imagine what tugging power a 360 ton empty machine which is 4x4 and has 8 big wheels would have .

    How thick is the chassis? Do you think it is around 1 meter? It seems incredibly solid and thick

    I wonder how thick its frame is. It definitely looks to be thicker than 1.2 meters it might even be 1.4 meters. Look how massive it looks. What do you think?

    The truck seems incredibly stable. The turning is also really fluid if you pay attention how the axle is turning it really is impressive.

    360 ton empty vehicle weight and being 4x4 makes it the vehicle with most tugging power on land. It can definitely outpull a cat 797 in a tug of war match or even the biggest dozers. Probably the large excavators are the only ones which can beat such a machine

    How does the steering system of this truck work? I just can't see enough space for those tires to turn? Also I read that the rear axle is also turning? Do the whole axles turn or what?

    Do the whole axles turn or just the wheels? How is its steering system constructed?

    The truck might not look beautiful and elegant but surely looks brutal! Look at its front it is so massive and with those dual 4 tires it looks like a mammoth machine. Almost like a landcruiser. 360 tons for empty vehicle weight makes it the world's heaviest vehicle on wheels. Only the...

    It will be able to carry 450 tons but the material must be solid...

    Belaz 7540 vs Scania p 380

    Today I spoke with a friend of mine who is a truck driver. He is now driving Scania p 380 whose payload is rated at 26 tons. He told me that these trucks are constantly being loaded with not 26 but 35 tons... This is 40% higher payload than the rated one. He told me that these trucks very often...

    A 360 ton 4x4 machine must have immense pulling power. I bet that with such a truck no one is going to use bulldozers for towing anymore... Even a 200 ton dozer won't stand a chance since the truck is almost twice the weight.

    The design seems incredibly solid... The truck might be ugly but who cares... It is like a brick so robust.

    The fuel tanks were in the process of being placed. I really doubt that they are going to hang there... The picture was probably taken while they were being placed but who knows you might be right...

    Now having this truck alive it will pass a long time before a bigger one is being made. The 400 ton class trucks lasted for like almost 10 years. Now it will probably be at least 5-6 or even 7 years until we see 600 ton or 650 ton truck. Probably Cat and Liebherr are going to make their own 500...

    Look how small the tires look compared to the body of the truck. It is definitely much bigger than the previous model especially when it comes to height and length. The operator cabin seems so high in the air... After all it is a hundred and ten tons heavier (360 tons total) than the previous...

    Very nice view of the model. It looks so much bigger than the previous model... Also much more symmetrical and beautiful. Now we have to see how it performs.
