Volvo Trucks - Goliat, a Volvo FH16 that transports 500 tonnes of copper ore every day

[@evenrognlid1022]

Mine blowing!

KFC sponsored 🤣

@kristofferwestlund I think they got it wrong with the translation. The truck can't have 144 tons, that means each axle on the trailer should hold 15 tons, on the truck, the tractive double axles should hold 18 tons each, the lazy one 15 tons and the single drive axles 9.5 tons each. That's to much for such combination, for 540 bhp and for a icy road. I'd rather think it has a maximum GVW of 104 tons.

[@tntfreddan3138]

Nothing wrong with the translation. He says clearly "grossing between 130 and 140 tonnes" in the video. As for weight distribution. I don't know the specifics for each axle, but they're reinforced and the drive axles are rated for roughly 15 tonnes each, if I'm not mistaken. Front axles are also reinforced so they should take over 12 tonnes each. Trailer axles should also probably be around 12 tonnes each. Even standard axles can take these weights, but not legally. The tyres will go flat or explode before axles break so the tyres are also specially made for higher weights.

[@wotan20]

I suppose the 'dressing plant' is the Mineral Processing plant, or affectionately called 'mill', which makes concentrate from the ore mined from the ground.

[@MrNeild123]

wotan20 who cares

[@Denstoradiskmaskinen]

If you drive with your jacket, what do you put on when you exit?

[@kalanike]

Every truck has it's purpose, especially when carrying very heavy loads. I wonder though, if Goliat was designed to only pull a single 5 axle trailer instead of 2, 5 axle trailers.

[@senyko]

These rigs have been on Michigan USA highways since 1960's. Search Michigan Road Trains.

[@garethifan1034]

Yeah..but this is not Michigan.

[@ilsimo931]

your videos are fantastic! Thanks

[@HimanshuSharma-wb5qo]

[@聖然林]

VOLVO....Good...very. Good..,

[@andrzejtrucker]

Every time when I watch clips or read article's about truck's working in Northern Sweden it's alway's Volvo not Scania;-)

[@tntfreddan3138]

Scania is king of the forests, Volvo is undisputed lord of the mines and excavation sites 👌

[@mrbluenun]

Hello volvotrucks, Thanks for the upload OK? A really great video thank you so much. Take care. mrbluenun

[@clobbyhops]

So this video is about a rich kid driving a new truck for his dad and uncle company that he will take over later and become richer, this not about Volvo

[@marcusgault9909]

@Ben Winstanley Bollocks!, an ernest decent hard working young man being trained to take over the small, heavily invested, and vunerable to open compitition family business, this is what sound businesses are about. No "free money" that I can see any evidence of.

[@legendarytwister3656]

kfc truck

[@osmankoylu7709]

@yuxinwang hahaha what a joke, american trucks are made to run a lifetime. funny how volvo engines here in north america are crap and problematic compared to cummins or kitty cats which are also massively more powerful. i think eros like to exxaggerate their hp settings cause who the hell needs 700+ hps. oh also make some space inside the cab for drivers would ya.

[@garethifan1034]

I did say ALL THINGS taken into consideration.

[@lorangajapp8086]

Actually he is right the swedish trucks are way better than the american ones,but they do look cool.

[@RealCadde]

Oh course you will realize when it's way too late as always.

[@osmankoylu7709]

loranga japp please do explain whats so much better about euro trucks i dont see it as ive been in eurotrucks, driven one and as far as i see it here in america we would use them for local deliveries or something. pls explain how theyre so much better maybe im missing something

[@bsdecoder]

A U.S. Ton is 2,000 lbs. A euro ton or Metric ton is 2,200. And yes euro trucks are better we own both. We can not get cat eng. To run right. Neither can Cat!
