Haul truck

Haul trucks are off-highway, two-axle, rigid dump trucks specifically engineered for use in high production mining and heavy-duty construction environments.[1] Haul truck capacities range from 50 short tons (45 t) to 400 short tons (363 t).

Large quarry sized trucks range from 35 to 100 tones. A good example of this is the Caterpillar 775. Standard mining trucks fall into these ranges 130T, 150T, 190T and 240T.
