Ever wonder what happens when one of those BIIIG dump trucks gets a flat?

It looks like the rock they put on it was too heavy. That didn't just happen as it was rolling along, as can be explained by the 3rd pic.

That doesn't really look like a flat.....

The tire sidewalls are not strong enough on their own to hold the truck + that load up at all.

I think the truck was just overloaded.

 

[BlamoHammer]

Someone had to do it...

 

[TMPadmin]

Do those things come with a jack?

It looks like what happened was the load shifted. That large rock probably went back and to the side as it was making the left hand turn.

Neat

 

[BillGates]

Maybe the rear suspension broke on that side?

If you look at the 3rd pic again you can see there is a flat.

 

WTH, nothing but a German paragraph is showing up...

how come I don't get a picture - just some German writing?

That looks like more then just a flat tire.....

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe it was just the weight of that rock caused the bed to grind into the tire which caused the flat. The bed looks to be listing heavily to one side (for obvious reasons.)

Regardless, cool pics.

Komatsu of that size should have no problems hauling that load they can haul up to 190 to 300 tons, just the tire alone
will be costing an easy 20 to 30k

That's pretty cool in a "you don't see that every day" kinda way.

[Joemonkey]

i thought those were called ore haulers?

 

[Nohr]

If you think that's something just imagine the bit of machinery that lifted that rock on to the truck in the first place.
