- WA Fuel Supplies and Great Southern Fuel Supplies tanker drivers tackle the Bringo Hill, whilst 3 Grain trucks head downhill to Geraldton. Sorry about the wind noise, just a cheap camera🙂
Very sorry viewers. I didn't realise some of my videos, didn't have the details of where the location is. Yeah in Australia, the State of Western Australia. Much thanks for watching, have a great day.🙂
24 November 2020.
The rest of the world only has trucks like these in their dreams. In Australia they go past unnoticed.
Perhaps you never drove the Western American continent. The wide open spaces.
@@Corleone_Napoleone . The Americans don't use Trucks like these . They have more Rail infrastructure .
Australians have road transport sorted. Just shows what can be done in a big country when you start with a blank sheet of paper. Well done Australia. A great testing ground for drive axle tyres and a great market for trailer axles.
Yep truly is, within the truck and trailer building industry here.
It does not work out well for a lot of tourists here tho sadly. No concept of distance, heat, speed, night time, roo bars, grey nomads and Road Trains. A road trip here is a survival adventure.
@@leebee3845 I've been there (loved it). You didn't mention putting blacktop over tree roots and calling it a road!
The twin steer with three drive axles was quite a sight! There are places I'd love to see before I die, and Western Australia is one of them.
You'd have to make sure, to go to Port Hedland to see the iron ore being hauled by road. As also around Australia for other road train hauls.
They are VERY impressive, a couple of years ago they were putting in a wind farm near me and the haulage company was using two of them to haul the nacelles
me too
Don’t be a stranger , you’ll love it in the west
and when you die, be ready to meet your creator.
Yes. Yes. Why is RUclips recommending me this? Love it.
Back in the day, if you were coming in from Mullewa for a night out. This hill signified a turning point in the night that would also be a turning point in your life
Thanks for watching. I wonder what you mean, by turning point in your life! 🤔

You mean the old bringo road ?
I'll never look at a Volvo FH the same again! Love to see this in real life here in the UK it's a struggle with just ONE 45ft trailer..
The Volvo FH's are very popular here, in Australia. Great comfort features for the truck drivers, on the long distance runs.
@@koorta-boodjor1522 Get you..
Impresionante! Wooo
Talk about take it to the limit ! ! ! I would hate to have to buy tires for that rig ! O M G
Just a couple months worth of wages......Or even a years wage perhaps!
It would probably carry more spares than an 18 wheeler.
Hello nice video!
Thanks for Sharing
Greetings from Turkey / EUROPE
Hello back to you, from Western Australia.🙂
This is one killer of a hill. I know it as Bringo Bank. I drove trains over up this bank. Not one for the faint hearted. The rail line you can see at the end.
Yeah, I know what you mean. The rail line follows close by at places, would be nerve wracking driving trains in that area!
an outstanding video thanks. (Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA)
Glad you enjoyed viewing the video.
Watched this about 20 times! That's our 'Super Triple' hard at work!
Thanks for watching, yeah very impressive that Super Triple, great tanker trailers indeed!
What make of truck is that cabover?

@@gjdanco4260Volvo FH16 700
Don.t you guys have the 750? If you want power,the Volvo is unbeatable.So much torque. Here in the Netherlands the 750 FH16 is very popular with the heavy hauliers. I drive the FH and it is a wonderful truck.Drive Volvo for almost 30 years,big big Volvo fan.
Goddam, that 10X6 Volvo pulling Super Triple Quad Axles up the Hill.
@Marley Dario I’ve seen this exact comment before so I not sure if it does

Hey thanks for visiting here.☺
I pedalled up there on my bike a while back, was hard work on a 40 degree day!
Crikey! That would've been tough going. Where were you heading for?
@@koorta-boodjor1522 on that particular day I rode from Yalgoo thru to Geraldton and onto Port Denison. The cattle grids between MM and Yalgoo were a pain in the arse the day before!
@@SimoWill75 Bloody hell, that was some ride mate! Yep been over those cattle grids in a vehicle. Those grids were real scary! I can imagine a cyclist being stuck in one of them!!
@@koorta-boodjor1522 never got stuck but the first one caught me by surprise and near rattled the teeth out of my head. Next one I stopped and walked, sucks losing momentum tho, so the rest I ran an experiment.... I went faster, slower, even tried jumping over. Nothing made them any better 'till I noticed there's a narrow strap welded across them in the middle, line it up just right and it's a smooth ride over hahaha.
@@SimoWill75 Haha, I did like the jumping over one method! And yep, aiming for the centre bar strip, an expert for crossing over by then! I can't remember which road it was? But they removed some of the grids, and the property owners had to put fences in running parralel to the roads. Cause the cattle / sheep were a bastard of a problem for trucks and vehicle drivers at night.

World: our trains run on specially build tracks to deliver goods
Meanwhile australia: we deliver goods on the road. period.
That's why they're called 'road trains' 😉
@@johnforster5312 yes i know that
@@ivangenov6782 One thing of some regret, is we in Western Australia have never had a rail line connection up along the west coast . To Carnarvon Karratha, Port Hedland. (Like you have rail along the east coast of Australia.)

Great video
I'm amazed that the hill is not littered with drive shafts
It’s not littered with main drives or jockeys because we know how to drive these hills!
But it's littered with lots of discarded tyre tread.
@@desmondfarrell7249 I agree that you all know how to drive the hills but with the weight you are pulling the drive shaft ,in my experience is the weakest link
My first side of the road breakdown as an apprentice Automotive Diesel Mechanic was a triple fuel tanker that screwed its drive shaft crossing a railway line, while not a serious emergency as the Line had just closed, there was still light traffic on the line occasionally.. that the truck also blocked the approach to the runway, was a little more concerting, planes had to land from the opposite end of the runway,
@@tim19621 . If you actually SAW how massive those Prop shafts and UJ's are you wouldn't say that .
Good Video!!
Thanks again, Seb.

Super video
Sorry Texas, some things are just bigger here in Western Australia.
👍
Perhaps only this video. You need to visit Texas before making a statement.
We could use some of these in the UK to make up for the shortage of truck drivers caused in part by brexshit.
Haha yeah Brexshit, not good for you guys. Trouble is, we can't get enough truck drivers also, with the iron ore side tippers here in Western Australia. And yep the heavy fuel tanker trucks going down the M1 there in the UK, will solve things!😀

It isto está era woo tô tô tô
Those new tieman quads have payload of 45 tons each, add 12 tons for the volvo and 10 tons tare each trailer your 're pushing close to 180 tons
Rail is the way to go
Yep, a real heavyweight this one. This PBS rated Super Triple fuel tank trailers were built by Tieman Services in Bibra Lake, WA. With a GCM of 168 tonnes.
Amazing 😱
Big climb with a triple
@@andypandy4069 fuck the rail. The train still can't deliver it to the customer
I plan to be back at Bringo hill, again this year. Hopefully not a windy day.! But yeah, winds coming in from the coast around Geraldton area, are real blustery. Fingers crossed and that !🤞
Amazing to think that second fuel tanker could gross 260 ton
The Prime Mover might easily be rated for 250 tonne plus , but that Tanker would have been around 150 tonne . Public Road .
@@johncunningham4820yep, 168t I think those are rated at.
fh16 ishift deep reduction diffs max weight allowed all up 130ton with three trailers horton fan working hard
to keep engine cool speed about 10kph revs about 1200 gear 1st or 3rd very long hill use to pull triples up bringo
110ton iron ore plus another 30ton for truck trailers and dollys with over mass permit in to port and quads up the chitchesters ranges at 169ton 2nd gear 8kph and little everist quads full load 180ton 1st gear at 7kph been driving
road trains since 1981 bringo hill from memory is 3 or 4 ks long chitchesters 10ks long little everist 14ks long
I reckon it's north of 130 tons, count the axles, it's not a normal triple
pliz i have classs two driver's licence and longing to drive these aticulated trucks. can you help me
@@shaned8845 yes probably carry more than 130 but that's the max weight per unit with over weight permits ,roughly the same western Australia
Never thought I'd see one of the trucks I used to work on here on you tube
Be one of the grain trucks, you're talking about?
@@koorta-boodjor1522 no it's the last feul tanker I used to work for Stevemacs changing there tyres.. and that triquoid dose alot of kms
@@dajackal314 Oh yeah sorry. Yep Stevemacs, I have photograhed that quad bogie axle double tanker rig, on the GEH. This one, getting a lot of trips then, hey.A lot of tyre changing for sure, when you used to be with them. Thanks for watching.
@@koorta-boodjor1522 more about keeping on top of the rotations and pressures I found
@@dajackal314 Yeah stress pressure factor also. To keep them rolling
💚
23 axles??? Stick that right up ya klacker! You`d want an offsider just t` change tyres for ya! Pete 379.
Haha, yeah!
Caminhão muito louco legal pracatamba
Yep!☺
23 axles, twin wheels bar the first - I make that 90 tyres. New set of tyres around £50k?
Same price here in Morocco
I cycled this hill about 2months ago on my 4 800km cycling adventure....that road was a bit of a shocker after the piece of flatland before Geraldon....
Crikey, that's a fair distance on a bike, for sure! Yeah those hills through Bringo, would've been nasty, especially if you had headwinds into Geraldton.
Yes love to sit there and take in the scenery
Don't be there on a hot summer's day, too many bloody annoying flies! 😀
Ao ver estes compridos camiões, fica clara uma mensagens. Não é em Portugal! Em Portugal as estadas têm muitas curvas e muito sobe e desce. Jamais estes camiões circulavam nas estradas portuguesas… Pela qualidade das estradas, deve ser um regalo conduzir nas estradas secundárias da Nova Zelândia e na Austrália...
s,
which is the max wight in Australia road train with haz mat
Wooo exelente video se ve de mucho peso el chato con esos 3 equipos de cuántos HP será ?
Thanks for watching
Parabéns 👏
Cheers.
Blimey there were so many tyres on that Volvo rig the damn thing should have floated over that hill ...
😀👍
Beautiful trucks
How many horsepower do they have
Thanks for watching. The Western Star on the WA Fuel Supplies tankers would be around 600 hp? With the Volvo FH16 on the Great Southern Fuels 'Super Tanker' is 700hp.
best sound was the cicadas, but Cummins, powers the world, there are engines as good, the vee Scania being one of em
when I was with Cummins in Newcastle I rebuilt many of the 855 , the vees made for the road were no good, the 903 was short lived
She's a big country
Thanks for your comment Stuart, rebuilding engines must have been an interesting job, specialized work for sure! Yeah I wished I was roadside here, to get closer to them working. Next time I visit I will!
@@koorta-boodjor1522 good for you
I heard a story. The little hairy men, Nyungar call them wudartji, but Mount Magnet area traditional people have a completely different name, well, they would be disturbed by the mining, and would sometimes jump on the trains for a ride, coming into Geraldton.
Thanks for sharing that story on here. Yeah down Narrogin way, there's a different name for those men. And yep the mining in the country lands just never stops. I do like when they used to jump on the trains!
so gentle on the macadam
Good one! Don't often hear of that.
Na Austrália o trânsito é por mão inglesa, ? Vc anda pela esquerda? ??
In Australia, we drive on the left-hand side of the road like they do in the United Kingdom.
Na Austrália, dirigimos do lado esquerdo da estrada, como fazem no Reino Unido.
Most of the weight, I would guess, is the hard & software - hell of a lot of wheels. Is one of the trailers mechanised?
Not that I'm aware of.

Maquina topada
Do they manufacture axles , wheel bearings , brake systems , fifth wheels ECT in Australia or do they all come from the power house a.k.a. Germany. Question from a sad Englander living in a service based economy. Little manufacturing based here anymore 😭😭😭
Yes, there are companies that manufacture truck drive trains, and axles etc. And specialise in assembley, though yes still import into Australia. And I understand your view, with England, some years ago. with BMC, Leyland, etc.

How many min HP with that kind of semi? Are they fitted with transfercase?
That Volvo is probably 750 horsepower, 3500Nm of torque.
700fh16 Australian.
It is like a train.
Yep!☺
😳👍😃
Volvo Power..The FH16 is unbeatable..So much power,if you want to pull very heavy loads you need a Volvo. So much torque. It.s much heavier than the truck in front. I drove the FH and ít is a wonderful truck.Maybe the best you can buy.
Haha, yeah heaps of drivers like them. You'd always have disagreements between the Mack and Kenworth drivers. And the Volvo drivers, with torque power.
Hill ha ha ha come to western Canada we show you hills
Yep, seen those hills of Canada, in the movies!
@TruBluHeeler Only have the HR!🙂
@TruBluHeeler Haha. Sorry, yep see where you're coming from. Yeah I've seen some of those trucking videos on the steep mountain side tracks in Asia and South America......stuff that!
Are they those "hills" with snow all year round on top?
Once on top of Bringo, it's pretty much flat all the way to the other side of the continent, about 3,800 km's.
Yep, until you hit the Blue Mountains!
@@koorta-boodjor1522 Apologies. Until you get to Madura pass & Eucla on the Eyre highway in WA. I remember the first time I drove across the country from west to east & after several hundred kilometres of essentially flat land, I saw a sign just before the Madura roadhouse that read "Steep descent. Trucks use low gear". It was at night & I initially thought it was a joke until the road seemingly disappeared & I found myself hurtling down the road that was built into the side of a cliff.
@@elroyfudbucker6806 Hey that's ok. And really like your reply back. Yeah I know of Madura Pass, and thanks for sharing your experience. It really is unexpecting, for the first encounter of that Pass!
What's Bringo Hill like compared to Greenmount out of Perth, on Great Eastern Highway?
I'd say by the speed they coming down it no comparison.
Yeah its the speed difference as mentioned, at the bottom of the Greenmount Hill, its from 60kmph, then 70kmph section to 80kmph mostly for both east and westbound with dual carriageway (4lanes). So slowmoving trucks, you can pass them. Heavy oversize is a pain, as you just have to wait patiently behind them. Until they pull over, park up to let backlog trafffic pass by.
Volvo was catching the KW
Tell you, that after overtaking the two tankers. I waited at Mullewa; 73 kms east of here. To take photos of them, And yeah the Volvo wasn't that far behind the Kenworth at all!
@@koorta-boodjor1522 not sure which one would break down first......

En que pais es
Driver shortage in the UK …doh! How about either extending the trailers or adding one ? We have 700bhp trucks carrying 20ton ffs!
We have the horsepower, the hills and the massive iron ore super quad side tippers hauling into Port Hedland and Geraldton, here in Western Australia. With loads of 175 / 200 tonnes.As one example for other heavy hauls in Australia. Unable to have the 750 at this stage. They can't handle the hot conditions out on the outback highways, roads and mine haul jobs.
lets fire up the bringo moto X its been a while
Haja asfalto bom para esse peso.
menor peso por eixo que no brasil, menos danos
Wat a speed
Just slow and steady speed.
Just slow and steady speed on the hills.
Красавчик
Duuh sio poa
I'd love to know what revs the Volvo was doing, pulling up the hill
Yeah, my brother drives a FH16 600. I'll ask him what revs, he gets when hauling at max revs up a steep hill.
Powerband in 1 of them probably 1500-1700rpm. Designed to Max torque lower RPM for fuel efficiency even when under load.
@@RA-cg9co Hey, thanks for that info. I hope David gets back to see your comment.👍
@@koorta-boodjor1522 From memory our FH16 600 would pull 100-110T up marandoo hill near Tom Price (3 trailers general freight) We would use HD mode meaning at 1500rpm it would downshift and at 1800rpm would upshift.
That GSF fuel tanker is probably 700hp and far heavier, probably close to 150T there, possibly has different gear ratios and lower top speed so might rev harder, need to confirm with the operator.
This is Australia 🇦🇺 or New Zealand 🇳🇿 ????
Yep what Mark Kingston mentioned, . Australia, or Western Australia it is!

Thanks.
That cabover looked like it was really struggling.
I reckon, they should run out from Geraldton as two trucks, and once past the hills, hook up as one road train configuration. Much too slow for following traffic, through the hill climbs and heck of wear and tear factor for sure
Essa pista é meio bagunçada só vai,ou só vem? Ou vai e vem?
Yeah the hills around Bringo and Northern Gully are are a challenge, once past there but, it's easier levels and the trucks move along much quicker.
@@CarlosAlberto-rx3rl Sorry I can't translate your language. Thanks for watching
Is a challenge at Bringo Hill, ain't that bad at a few other places though. Yeah a real test at Bringo. Perhaps, I reckon a helper truck should be attached on each loaded trip?
How do they reverse a rig like that?
A large turning circle most times, or unhook the last trailer, and reverse just two trailers, which is easy for the experienced drivers
Has anyone ever considered using push trucks at the bottom of that hill to help truckers get over the top?
Yeah be thinking, that somehow operation costs etc. Would've been looked at. ie in a 24 hour time frame. How many heavy eastbound trucks would be heading out of Geraldton.
i always have a giggle when yanks talk about doin it tough driveing 18 wheelers.
That hills a bitch. My old cruizer always wanted a push to run up it lol.
Haha, bet you had a few impatient tailgaters trying to help out!
@@koorta-boodjor1522 Yeah. Had a couple bump their bar against the tailgate and add a bit of punch to get us over the top.😂😂
