Haul trucks are off-highway, rigid dump trucks specifically engineered for use in high-production mining and heavy-duty construction environments.

Description

Most haul trucks have a two-axle design, but two very well known models from the 1970s, the 350T Terex Titan and 235T Wabco 3200/B, had three axles. Haul truck capacities range from 40 short tons (36 t) to 496 short tons (450 t).

Large quarry-sized trucks range from 40 to 100 tons. A good example of this is the Caterpillar 775 (rated at 70 short tons (64 t)). Quarry operations are typically smaller than, say, a gold/copper mine, and require smaller trucks.

Ultra class

The largest, highest-payload-capacity haul trucks are referred to as ultra class trucks. The ultra class includes all haul trucks with a payload capacity of 300 short tons (272 t) or greater. As of October 2013, the BelAZ 75710 has the highest payload capacity, 450 metric tons.

XCMG XDE400

As the world largest six-wheeled dump truck, the XDE400 electric drive dump truck can accommodate 400 Metric tons. It is equipped with a XCMG-patented AC variable frequency traction system to improve its traction and ambling capacity and also achieve higher efficiency.
