Hello Guys,
For those of you who Love anything truck or Machinery related and the bigger the better I'm starting a thread about the huge trucks and Machines I see everyday as part of my job as a Road Train driver in Western Australia. I little bit about me, those of you who have followed my M20Dreaming thread will know I'm A KIWI (New Zealander) with a passion for Can-Am cars and pretty much anything that makes a lot of noise and goes fast but I'm also truck and earthmover mad and Have been a Truckie for 40yrs in May 2023. before that in the late 70s up to May of 1983 I drove EarthMovers.
So lets start this thread.
I have started working in WA in a place called Port Hedland which is an Iron Ore port town in the Pilbarra region of WA. Its called the land of the Giants because everything here is on a huge scale. The longest and heaviest Trucks to run on Public road anywhere in the world (Quad Road Trains) the biggest Dump Trucks (CAT 797s at 325ton Payloads) the biggest Excavators (800ton Komatsu, Hitachi and Lebier) the list goes on. so I want to put up Photos of what I see out on the road being transported between Mine sites etc. I won't be able to show much in actual mines as they are pretty strict about camera use on site.
So I hope you all enjoy what I have.
Cheers Leon.
