1. The largest dump truck: BelAZ-75710
The world's largest dump truck comes from Belarus, manufactured by BelAZ. It measures 20 meters wide and nearly 8 meters tall. Its payload capacity is 450 tonnes, and when fully loaded it weighs over 800 tonnes. The BelAZ-75710 is used in mining operations and can reach speeds of around 65 km/h despite its massive size – not bad at all.
2. Komatsu 980E-4
In second place is the Japanese manufacturer Komatsu with the 980E-4. This dump truck has a payload capacity of 369.4 tonnes and is used in mines and quarries worldwide.
3. Caterpillar 797
The third-largest dump truck is the Caterpillar 797, with most of its fleet in Canada's oil sands industry. What makes it special: Despite its payload capacity of 320 tonnes, it can be transported in one piece thanks to a special procedure developed by Mammoet in 2015.
4. Liebherr T284
The fourth-largest dump truck comes from German manufacturer Liebherr and offers a payload capacity of 363 tonnes. Its main application: mining operations, for example in South Africa. You need to climb 18 steps just to reach the driver's cab.
5. BelAZ-75600
Fifth place goes to another dump truck from Belarus. The BelAZ-75600 has a payload capacity of 360 tonnes and is used in mines worldwide, like most of the world's largest dump trucks.
