BelAZ 75710


The BelAZ 75710 is an ultra class haul truck manufactured in Belarus by BelAZ. As of 2013, it was the world's largest, highest payload capacity haul truck.

Design

The BelAZ 75710 has a conventional two-axle setup but the wheels are doubled, one to an axle, imitating the 1950s International Payhauler 350. For this reason, it needs two 59/80R63 tires. It also has four-wheel drive and four-wheel hydraulic steering which is unusual. It has a turning radius of about.
The 75710 is claimed to carry a load. With an empty weight of, it is much heavier than BelAZ's previous largest model, the 7560, which weighed when empty. It is long, high, and wide. The bed is relatively shallow, limiting the volume of material that can be carried.
Instead of a single engine, the Siemens MMT 600 drive system is powered by two MTU 16-cylinder four stroke diesel engines, each with. These are coupled to two AC alternators and four AC traction motors Fuel consumption is, with the option to run on only one if carrying less than capacity loads. Maximum claimed speed is, and economy maximum speed is.
