BelAZ 75710 - The world’s strongest dumper

When Liebherr was awarded the Guinness record for its mining truck T 282 B ten years ago, nobody thought that one could build a dumper with a heavier payload than 360 tons. This record, however, has now been broken: BelAZ has presented the 75710 dump truck with an incredible carrying capacity of 450 tons. Here are the most important facts about the monster truck for you.4600 HP - Engine and Hydraulic SystemThe new dumper is fitted with two 65 liter 16-cylinder diesel engines, each delivering 2300 hp. The overall strength of the dumper is thus 2600 hp! In order to provide the huge amount of diesel needed for these extraordinarily strong engines, the truck is equipped with two 2800 liter diesel tanks. The zero-load, maximal speed is 64 km/h. When it comes to the dumper’s hydraulics, a 3 in 1 system connects dumping, braking and steering operations.810 tons – Machine Weight and SizeThe weight of one tire of the new BelAZ 75710 is already 5800 kg. But only by considering the fact that this dump truck can transport up to 450 tons of rock, one can imagine how strong it actually is. By adding the truck’s empty weight of 360 tons, the maximum weight can thus reach up to 810 tons.Such a power package can - of course - not be overlooked: it is 20.6 m long, 8.16 m high and 9.87 m wide. It goes without mentioning that this dump truck is not suitable for the construction site “next door”. According to the manufacturer the dumper has been developed for the world’s largest open pits and different climatic conditions from temperatures of minus 50°C to plus 50°C.BelAZ – Manufacturer InfosBelAZ is a Belarusian vehicle manufacturer based in Zhodzina. Since 1958 the company produces heavyweight haulage and earthmoving equipment such as dump trucks, bulldozers, wheel loaders, as well as water and fuel tankers and other special vehicles. On many websites, you can easily find used dumpers of BelAZ .BelAZ’s business strategy is to develop very large and powerful machines in order to become internationally well known in the construction industry. Indeed this strategy has worked very well: After a long time of local presence in Eastern Europe (especially Russia and Ukraine), it has nowadays subsidiaries in China, Africa and North America and its market shares are growing.While the company’s aim of constructing huge machines is welcomed by many construction machinery fans, others criticize this trend. Especially when it comes to the 75710, one can blame that the efficiency of the truck is reduced due to the very heavy weight and the double tyres.
