Launched in 2013 and officially operating in a Siberian coal mine in October 2014, the Belaz 75710 quickly became the center of attention in the industry. With a payload capacity of up to 450 tons, this “giant” surpassed the previous record of 87 tons held by the world’s largest dump truck.
Unmatched Power From Unique Design
The Belaz 75710’s incredible payload capacity comes from the perfect combination of many superior design features. The vehicle is equipped with 8 wheels, two more than similar trucks. Each tubeless tire can withstand a load of up to 102 tons. The empty weight of the truck is 350 tons.
The “Massive” Engine System of the Belaz 75710
The Belaz 75710 uses a diesel-electric system. Two 16-cylinder, 65-liter diesel engines act as generators, providing power to 4 electric motors. Each diesel engine produces 2,300 horsepower. The traction of this “giant” reaches 18,626 Nm, about 24 times that of a 2014 F1 racing car engine. The Belaz 75710’s fuel consumption is about 1,300 liters of diesel/100 km.
“Top-Notch” Size and Performance
With its enormous size, the Belaz 75710 has a turning radius of up to 19.8 m. This 8.2 m high truck can reach a top speed of 64 km/h and operate at a speed of 40 km/h when climbing a 10% grade. The maximum slope that the vehicle can overcome is 18%.
