Truck and Loader. For an idea of the size of these haulage trucks, between the truck and the loader a man is standing. These older trucks are a precursor to the huge trucks being used in mining today that are about 22 feet tall (7 meters) and 20 feet (6 meters) wide. The load on these was approximately 140 tonnes where the trucks now haul 200 to 260 tonnes. |
