That's one hell of a convoy. The C501 was a beauty though.

These cattle guys are something else and run the Hardest working trucks on the planet at about 1.75 miles per Gallon

Very nice road-trains. massive fuel tanks on the tractor units.

They are really impressive especially when overtaking one as they are up to 53 metres long on the highway. I am not sure exactly the fuel capacity but its probally around 2000 litres or so depending on the truck however I don't want to be paying to fill one up! I think they would be doing well to get 2km per litre on the highway.

Those engines must have massive amounts of torque, just to get them moving.

Ross Westmore , Cummins ISX, 615hp/2050ftlbs or Caterpillar C15 Acert 625hp/2050ftlbs You'd probably find the diff ratios will be 4.89:1 for the 140tonne or higher rating and only cruise at 90kph.

I've pulled triples here in the USA. Aren't some road trains in Oz 4 and 5 trailer? Are some even longer?
@Footrotflats25110 жыл бұрын

+John Ratko I didn't know triples were allowed anywhere in the US? Many states don't even allow double-bottoms due to the related traffic safety hazards.

some big mine leases have 7 trailers they restricted to the lease. not allowed on public roads.

I would guess that these monsters are only used for very long journeys,the Aussies are a humane people-how on earth do they feed and water the livestock during the trip?
@KazzaMenazza9 жыл бұрын
You can't during the trips, cattle have to be spelled, off loaded at yards along the way :)

awesome roadtrain we have nothing like it in UK shame you give distances in metric difficult to work out got to convert to imperial
@biggin90778 жыл бұрын
+jon johnson too easy to convert, 5 miles = 8 Km. Australia converted to metric in the early 70's and people winged and bitched, but now they wouldn't go back. Younger generations think how complex is the old system is and are so confused by it.
@jonjohnson33728 жыл бұрын
I wondered when they converted personally I hate metric system its so complicated wish whole world was imperial
@biggin90778 жыл бұрын
jon johnson Although Australia is a metric system country a lot of us still think in feet and inches, eg how tall are you? 6 foot, and TVs are still rated in inches.
@stevie65able6 жыл бұрын
Metric complicated compared to imperial?? Are you kidding me?? Everything divisible by 1, 10 or 100. For the record, 1 mile=1.61km, you can work out the rest.
