Australian made HaulMax

[big ben]

I've never heard of them until now. Canada is about to get its first 3900D and just wondering what others have heard about them. Good, bad or yet to be decided ? Something like 95% Cat parts and to be sold and looked after by Cat dealers.

That is very interesting. I had never seen one of those, I think I'll get the one w/ the lowboy to haul my 580 superK.

Pos 1 & 2 chop out pretty quick if you do a lot of turning with them.

Why a haulmax and not a typical rigid frame off highway truck? (Ie 775?)

They look better

We use them as 76,000L service trucks, the company who make them will have a stand at minexpo this month, the trucks are suited to long hauls better than a rigid dump truck, lower cente of gravity ect

I'll get a photo of a 777G lube truck vs Haulmax lube truck, the Haulmax looks heaps better

I'm about half way through doing the machining and line boring on service bodies for about 14 of them. Thats just for one company so there must be a lot around http://www.svaust.com/index.php?id=264

I'm going to disagree on that, it doesn' matter what you put on them, those Haulmaxs are just plain ugly.

yeh, fair enough.. their an aquired taste that grows on ya, bit like the 950G when they came out but their by far the best of that series IMO, to look at and work on

 

[inthedirt]

Now that would make a nice service truck. I wonder how big of an autocrane you could put on it. Oh yeah... talk about being able to have the whole shop on board!
