Road Trains and Trucks in Outback Australia
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
A massive selection of huge road trains and oversized trucking in the North West and Goldfields region of Western Australia.
You’ll see quad road trains, large oversized loads and a huge variety of makes and models including Kenworth, Mack, Freightliner, Volvo and Mercedes.
Western Australia allows some of the longest road trains in the world, some up to 62 metres long ! #kenworth #roadtrain #volvotrucks #mack #westernstar #freightliner

Its amazing how in America there is a shortage of drivers, but did the 'experts' ever consider adding capacity to the trucks. We are limited to 1 53 foot trailer. Imagine if we could haul 2...or 3. In Canada, under some circumstances you can haul 2 53 foot trailers. Best we can do in the US (only in some states) is triples, 3 28 foot trailers.

The big distances in Western Australia have necessitated the use of the road train. I guess the roads weren’t designed to carry them in the US.

For short trips, roadtrains are likely too complex. And for long trips, regular trains are more efficient, if there is enough being shipped. I imagine that's why they are used in down under, to get goods to places efficiently, where there is not enough demand to run a train track. Compared to the outback, the US has a relatively high population density.

@@titaniummechanism3214 100%. Much of what is shown in this video is due to mining activity in remote areas. The side tippers are mainly hauling from smaller mines to shipping or processing facilities. Some larger mines do have rail infrastructure and this video shows one of those trains hauling iron ore in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. There is also a lot of general freight and fuel being hauled to remote townsites and mines.

The roads must be built extra strong for those heavy loads and the hot weather.
Видимо есть участки пути ровные максимально по поворотам и горизонту.На таких участках и таскают такие сцепки. В сложных местах буксируют по одному контейнеру.😊
This is insane seeing from an American perspective. Those trucks pulling those GIANT vehicles. Nobody would dare do that here especially here in NC with the roads being as narrow as they are here. The closest you’d get is a truck pulling a large crane but that’s about it

Estos ases de la 5a rueda tienen dlnde elegir smericanos,o Europeos pero todos con su toque australiano en todos ellos como saben los entendidos y enamorados del camion.desde Kenworth a Volvos siempre con esas cabezas reforzadas y no tan bajas como Los gringos.🇮🇪🇪🇸no sé si e puesto la de México u la de Italia.disculpas.

The mega quads are really extraordinary. They are gigantic, even in this region. It's good to see more companies operates them, it's obvious the concept is successful. The variety is excellent again, lots of cool trucks and trailers. The friendly wave at 5:12 is cute. Of course the oversize loads are amazing too. Is that Kumarina Roadhouse at 7:13? I know the last place is Auski Roadhouse with the new paved parking lot. Fantastic video again Phil, you're lucky you can regularly catch these wonderful monsters for us.

It is very interesting to see how the trend in Australia is changing for the better, the new trucks that are seen are European, the Australians are renewing their trucks for European ones that are much better, in Mexico something similar is happening, we have the American truck very deeply rooted, but they are much worse than the Americans
Great vid and really interesting to see. Nice mix on bonnetted trucks and cab overs, would i be right in saying Volvo are the most popular European brand owing to Volvo making Aussie FHs and FH16s in Wacol? (literally just found out the FM and FMX are Aussie made too which is cool 😄)
