Monster Machinery

Humans can make some pretty large and awesome machines, including these following construction giants. If there’s a big job to be done, then you need a big machine to do it. Here are some of the world’s biggest vehicle monsters:

Biggest Haul Truck

The Liebherr T282 is a massive haul track made in the United States. Strictly off-highway, this beast is an electric or diesel, two-axle powertrain haul truck with one of the biggest payload capacities for a haul truck in the world. It can carry up to 363 tons.

Biggest Excavator

Imagine an $11 million shovel fit for a giant and then you might be able to picture what the Terex RH 400 looks like. Holding the title of the world’s largest hydraulic shovel, the Terex can scoop approximately 94 tons an hour. This is a world record for any vehicle of this type.  For smaller jobs, small machinery is just as important.
