Excavators, bulldozers and dump trucks: 17 special vehicles

You have never seen most of these cars live, and you are unlikely to see them. Meanwhile, they make our life exactly what it is. They help build houses, extract minerals, serve other vehicles. Where these monster cars work, people are practically not allowed.

Some of these giants only work during the day, others only at night. There are even those that never turn off the engine. Otherwise, the engine loses residual heat in permafrost.

Such vehicles, as a rule, are produced in limited quantities or in several copies. But even on them, despite the quantity, time and money were spent, as well as the efforts of specialists. They were invented because it would be impossible to do without them.

These are ore crushers, and rotary excavators, and wheeled bulldozers, and dump trucks. But there is not only mining and construction vehicles. You can find the Stellar TM20165 wheeled loader, the Sandvik LH209L underground loader, and the Taxibot robotic airplane tractor.

You can write a separate article about each of these monster machines. Perhaps this is what we will do in the future. But for now, we offer you to get acquainted only with the most bizarre and useful machines.
