The World's Longest Truck - Road Train in Australia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Australia - a country road trains. In the Australian outback, where for hundreds of kilometers around you to meet a couple of other cattle-farms, or "stations", as they call them, train - a vital necessity. After all, in order to deliver the goods to the destination of the train, the owner, such as a sheep station would have to get their living from the load to the nearest railway hundreds of kilometers.
Road trains - powerful trucks, which stretches for two, three (and sometimes more) of huge trailer, capable in a matter of days to cross the Green Continent, connecting the country's states and territories.

For all the people who are asking "why not use a railroad?" These trucks use existing roads for the most part. A train can not turn off to visit individual properties which may be hundreds of kilometres apart. Railroads are used to join major centres. Australians, like most people, use the system that works best for the given environment. I live in rural Australia and share the roads with these trucks. Most road train drivers will signal you to let you know when it is safe to overtake them but believe or not, they are often the ones who overtake retired travellers in their motor homes and caravans.
Always somewhere like Port Hedland or Karratha where you could have a railway between there and Perth, and you built it to the same standard as the Darwin railway or transcontinental with double stack container train. Distance alone makes it a worthwhile prospect
Or Katherine to Kunnunura and Wydnham
do u relise how hight that going to cost
but australia is better so fuck you!
really 2-3 trailers bitch plz we carry 5-10 at 1 time ahahah
i do not understand why they don't just build a railroad if its that much stuff they need to move for that long of a distance... to me a train would be more efficient and cost less money on fuel and maintenance (it can't be cheap when its time to replace all them tires).... unless i'm missing something here a good diesel electric train would be prefect for this job...
I am an Australian and I used to live where there were a lot of these trucks and the skill of the drivers was something to be seen , it's one thing to go straight ahead but these men can reverse into driveways ect great to see.
Wat? They do this at every airport with your bags.
Driveways bahahah u paint a funny ass picture. reminds me of the dos equis dude where the commercial narrator said “he once parallel parked a train”
@@p39483 well reversing with a truck is quite some thing, especially with a trailer. I believe that nowadays they all have sensors and cameras, but before that you just didn't see much
I'm Australian with a road train license driving a 36.5 metre 120 foot A Double ( A Train) carrying shipping containers at the moment ,
but i must say the last one by the mamoet company is super impressive.
I'm not a fan of A-Trains, I like Super-B. We only pull doubles up here in Canada. You run twin 53s? I think my combo is about 26 or 28 metres.
And I thought driving a tank hauler is difficult
How much money can you make 🤔
How many tractors do they have on standby for the centeped?

Pull into a tire shop.................."I would like to get my tires rotated"
hahah Made my day.....
+Shakes 73 I guess I'm an idiot for not understanding this joke but please explian
on a normal car (4 tyres) from new you have to change your front with the rear tyres on a certain amount of km's/Miles to prevent uneven wear on the rubber/tyres, so this process is called rotating your tyres, so the joke is based on the amount of tyres that's on this RIG
So for a mechanic. "FUCK THAT I QUIT"

why does the thumbnail show a truck 10 x larger than the largest one shown here? Liars
clickbait made from photoshop
Yeah, they say the long one is 165 feet long. In the US, I regularly see >100 foot long combos. (Dual 53 foot trailers.) And in some parts of the US, three-trailer combos are common (although they use shorter trailers for those, I'm not sure the length, but I'm willing to bet longer than dual 53s.)
Anonymous Freak Wow! We have longer trucks! I heard Aussies had bigger dicks than us Americans. Why don’t you grab a tape measure and start measuring to prove America is number one in everything!!!!!!!t
My fellow Americans Whining and bitching because they can’t accept that another country has the longest trucks. So, do these pea-brained imbeciles do some research and accept that Australia has the longest trucks?(or truck trains) Nah, they’ll dismiss the truth and shout fake news or take the photoshop route? As an American, I despise these flag-waving nationalist cunts. But they get the attention and everyone in other countries believe all Americans are like this. We’re not and you’ll never get to know us because we’re too busy working and trying to enjoy the little time off we have. My son and I talk about how great it would to visit Australia. And we’re not loudmouthed, nationalist USA chanting cunts.
It’s bull shit
Here in the US we have some states that allow for road trains with three trailers. The states that allow triple trailers are all mainly rural Midwestern and Western states. However, the triples that you can see here in the US are nothing like the monster road trains Australia allows.
this is not much longer. A triple is usually between 30-40 meters, road trains allowed max length is 60 meter. And the usual roadtrains are consist of 3-4 trailer judging by the pictures and videos. In Finland you can see 35 meter long trucks too
“So I heard you give free tire rotations with an oil change”
They are tyres.
The modular part is by far more interesting than the sort-of-long truck. In my railroad experience, we often run 8,500 ft long trains weighing up to 13,000 tons, but they are stuck on a single track. These modular vehicles have to be extremely expensive to operate.
They all need their own individual power system which is more inefficient then a unified power system for all also take into considering the kind of damage it does to the road as well as the congestion they cause in traffic. They must suck for general usage but they are great for very spessific heavy tasks
I mean the surface area of these Modular vehicles and the suspension of them definitely decreases that.
5:22 oh my god they're transporting Canada

I give kudos to the drivers of these. Most people cannot even handle a small family car. Proof @ 2:52
Pha Q not in Australia
My bro drives one
Been in a few yea it’s tough especially fuel rucks the load moves.
Just to give some perspective. The largest cattle station (ranch) in Oz is Anna Creek, at 6 million acres, 25,000 square kilometres or 10,000 square miles... larger than Israel, or nearly the size of Belgium (30,00 square kilometres). Seven times larger than the largest US ranch (in Texas of course. ;-) Rail is not profitable for such remote locations, except for some giant mines... and those mining trains stretch for miles. The record for rail here "consisted of 682 loaded iron ore wagons and 8 GE AC6000 locomotives giving a gross weight of almost 100,000 tonnes and moved 82,262 tonnes of ore, the train was 7.353 km (4.568 miles) long.
Sean Coyne sorry mate...Anna Creek station is 26,000,000 acres and is bigger than the state of Texas.
No train is 7000+ km long. It's less than 4000 km Perth to Sydney. I think you added an extra number for the yanks. 😛
@@normturner4849 7 353 meters, or 7,353 km

Your point? I'm dual Oz/yank citizen so I'm familiar with imperial/metric measurements, not that one needs to be here.
I'm pointing out the impossibility of a train that long. 700+ metres long, easily. But not a train east coast to west coast and back in length.
That's absurd. 🙄

Crazy to think that that one small semi truck engine can pull a neighborhood blocks worth of load at the work of five hundred horses! Goes to show how powerful our minds can be!
Because by the time the power gets to wheels the torque has increased by some stupid magnitudes.
Most these trucks will have a low, mid, and high range gear setting before it goes the the "normal" 18+ gears that reduce the ratio far beyond any other truck.
Once it leaves the transmission and goes through the drive shaft to the differential, the differential will reduce the ration even more by standard.
When the power leaves the differential it "might" have planetary gears in the hub of each wheel to reduce it more. But this last one is only for really big shit like this 6+ trailer road train.
But keep it mind that the engines in these rigs will be V10s or up.
It’s also not a semi truck, it has a more powerful engine than a regular semi, purpose built for this work.
@@isabellef8692 wish they touched on that more was super interested in finding that out. Probably have literal freight train diesels in them.

Why do they always mention hp when the torque is the only number that matters when you're pulling anything
Torque doesn't pull anything, only horsepower can do work.
@@captainkirk3000 Newton/meter pr torque is the required unit of measurement to pull or push anything. Horsepower is the potential power there are many factors affecting it.
@@shaheenshad5012 Having an engine with 1 million torque won't matter if it only does it at 1 rpm. Perhaps you haven't taken physics yet, I would google "the formula for work".
Torque is a component of Horsepower and torque alone can't be used to calculate how much power something has.
Have you ever seen an Australian Road Train? Never seen one go off the road, but I have seen the aftermath. Shipping containers smashed up like tinfoil.

@@elib.4786 I'm sure there are pressure sensors on every tyre... if modern cars have 'em 😏
They are tyres.
If you think that this is a big load, think again. MAMOET moved the new sarcophagus in Chernobyľ in 2016. It's weight 31,000 metric tonnes, span 260 metres, external length 165 metres.
That's what I call a mammoth load. 😆

It’s amazing that this could be more cost effective than rail.
Nobody is saying it is more cost effective but it's certainly more flexible. Rail is constantly discussed here and many of us would like more but it has its limits. For carrying ore from a mine or picking up grain from silos and delivering to a port it makes sense. For carting cattle around properties dotted all over the outback in 40 degree heat it doesn't
Wait until rain and Everything get slippeery
It's not, but due to a failure of public imagination, nobody built rail.
This road train is like a real life "Mammoth Car" like in SPEED RACER.

This is why I say trucks are the trains of the roadway.
What kind of truck are they ?, my goodness, you need a lot horsepower to pull all that.
No, you don't need kW. You need torque, a lot of it.
Janne Laitinen :without horsepower you won't have any torque.
Put 600 hp F650 against a 500 hp W900.
100000 kg load in trailer
Which one will get from LA to Phoenix faster?
i dont much about cars but which one would be better?
Hp is a bulshot number. Its is torque over dustance over time. You can have very high rpm low torque and fast but not be able to pull anything. Or really high torque and be slow moving but pull as hard as a 13 year old boy with a playboy.

It would be faster, safer. and cheaper to run.
Expensive to build and require lots of maintenance.
Red 8Ball don't you think that if in fact it were better to have a railway system, they wouldn't have already done it?
Well, they haven't. So that means it's not as profitable as the trucks
Red 8Ball we do have railways
Not economical to build rail lines to service every location. Australia is very sparce once you leave the capital cities.
if there was an easier way, we would use it. and we do, it’s road trains.
