Road Trains and Trucks in Outback Australia

- A massive selection of huge road trains and oversized trucking in the North West and Goldfields region of Western Australia.
You’ll see quad road trains, large oversized loads and a huge variety of makes and models including Kenworth, Mack, Freightliner, Volvo and Mercedes.
Western Australia allows some of the longest road trains in the world, some up to 62 metres long ! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That was nice. No self advertisement no video sponsor no annoying face reveals or comments... Jus like old CZcams from 2000s
Glad you liked it. Nothing but non-stop action !
Its amazing how in America there is a shortage of drivers, but did the 'experts' ever consider adding capacity to the trucks. We are limited to 1 53 foot trailer. Imagine if we could haul 2...or 3. In Canada, under some circumstances you can haul 2 53 foot trailers. Best we can do in the US (only in some states) is triples, 3 28 foot trailers.
The big distances in Western Australia have necessitated the use of the road train. I guess the roads weren’t designed to carry them in the US.
For short trips, roadtrains are likely too complex. And for long trips, regular trains are more efficient, if there is enough being shipped. I imagine that's why they are used in down under, to get goods to places efficiently, where there is not enough demand to run a train track. Compared to the outback, the US has a relatively high population density.
@@titaniummechanism3214 100%. Much of what is shown in this video is due to mining activity in remote areas. The side tippers are mainly hauling from smaller mines to shipping or processing facilities. Some larger mines do have rail infrastructure and this video shows one of those trains hauling iron ore in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. There is also a lot of general freight and fuel being hauled to remote townsites and mines.
I was wondering this myself. The trucker would like the extra money and the company would like the savings. Road trains for the USA
Wow, loved the selection of rigs you caught!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Spectacular video! The Newman region and the entire Pilbara with road train transit, wonderful, incredible experience.
Thank you, glad you liked the video
This is insane seeing from an American perspective. Those trucks pulling those GIANT vehicles. Nobody would dare do that here especially here in NC with the roads being as narrow as they are here. The closest you’d get is a truck pulling a large crane but that’s about it
And interesting considering these vehicles are mostly from American owned manufacturers such as Kenworth and Caterpillar.
@@australiantruckspotting8883 vehicles which are actually made purposely for those kinds of applications so totally different from american setups.
in scandinavia Sweden, Finland.... they have also road trains too.
Sehr schöne Trucks. DANKE
Thank you !
The roads must be built extra strong for those heavy loads and the hot weather.
And what a beautiful country we live in.
The scenery up there is amazing
Another brilliant video brother. Been all over the beautiful country on that side. Looking forward the next one. 👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it !
Love the videos, the quad trailer setups must be a tyre makers dream, and a nightmare for the operator if they get a flat.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video!
La verdad es que cuando aceptan o aceptamos llevar dobles remolque o como ahí los Kangaroos son los number1 para eso.y no le quito merito a los Troqueros o amigos de la 57 como dicen mis compadres en Mexico que ahi justamente las carreteras no son rectas inacabables y en llano.
Estos ases de la 5a rueda tienen dlnde elegir smericanos,o Europeos pero todos con su toque australiano en todos ellos como saben los entendidos y enamorados del camion.desde Kenworth a Volvos siempre con esas cabezas reforzadas y no tan bajas como Los gringos.🇮🇪🇪🇸no sé si e puesto la de México u la de Italia.disculpas.
Loved the number of Cat haul trucks being moved in this one! 🤘
There’s so much action in that area, it’s incredible
Trucks in Australia are really long
They certainly are !
According to geography..Australia is flat..different from Indonesia which is hilly..the truck is not too long.
VERY NICE VIDEO NO NERDS TALKING ONLY ACTION
My father inlaw, has spent about the last 5 years dragging 3 Centurian trailers up north. He is 75 and stopped the road trains, but is now driving a grader on mine site somewhere.
Cool
0:35 Wow! I've never seen that combination before. Looks like pig traliers between the A trailers to give a total of 5 trailers.
Edit: Nope, upped the resolution and they look like B trailers. ABAB quin road train!? Thats fantastic!
The mega quads are really extraordinary. They are gigantic, even in this region. It's good to see more companies operates them, it's obvious the concept is successful. The variety is excellent again, lots of cool trucks and trailers. The friendly wave at 5:12 is cute. Of course the oversize loads are amazing too. Is that Kumarina Roadhouse at 7:13? I know the last place is Auski Roadhouse with the new paved parking lot. Fantastic video again Phil, you're lucky you can regularly catch these wonderful monsters for us.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed this one. Sounds like you have been up that way.
@@australiantruckspotting8883 Haha this is funny. I've never been in Australia so far. But I've seen a lot of photos of these remote roadhouses up in the Pilbara region. I can identify most of them, because usually the surroundings are very unique.
@@Zsolti0NYM Well you’re right about the Auski Roadhouse, it used to be a dustbowl but the truck refuelling and parking area has been paved to a certain extent. Well picked on the Kumarina Roadhouse as well.
@@Zsolti0NYM I must say, the drive between Newman and the Auski is absolutely sensational, the scenery is breaktaking. You can see it in the backdrop of some of my clips. I would recommend it to anyone that comes to Western Australia.
Film klasa sama w sobie. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
Greetings !
Amazing..good video.. hello from Malaysia ✌️
Thank you
Love the road trains the classic outback transportation in Australia I've seen a lot of them when visiting my buddy in Queensland
Wow I i never knew wa gets 5 trailer road trains 0:41 amazing video btw
I was happy to catch that one !
I'd be the same too@@australiantruckspotting8883
Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise, the double Bdouble behind the lead trailer. Went back a couple of times to make sure there wasn't a problem with my ability to count. 👍
That's right! BAB quad being pulled behind a single lead trailer. I kept squinting at it to check if I can still count too! 😂👍
First quin roadtrain I've seen on what looks like a public road. Biggest in my town is AB triples.
Это классное видео👍
Смотрю из России
Glad you liked it !
Wow they must be a sight up close, very impressive Cheers!
They sure are !
Wow not even in the US would you find tractor trailers this big and this long. Very impressive! Australia has got to have the longest and biggest ones by far!
I think we do !
Just wondering, how do you turn a truck that long?
@@nelsonchinasamy9857 They take a fair amount of space to turn
🚅 don't you all enjoy railroad
🚈 trams, trains etc are just so cool
🚞 take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 4) :)
Nice video mate and thx for shareing...Greets from Berlin Germany from Roadie ✌
Greetings. Glad you liked the video. I have been to Berlin and look forward to returning one day.
Well done. Great to see viewers from overseas appreciate your work as well. I am familiar with a lot of that gear and really enjoyed the presentation. That is some pretty good footage! Impressive how you mostly get the full Quads in the shot. A comprehensive cross section of heavy transport in the Outback. Nice footage of the floats and platform setups doing the Heavy Haulage of mining machinery. 5 trailer roadtrain was a bit of a bonus catch too !!!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed watching it !
Totally wild..!!! Aaamazing
Glad you enjoyed the video !
@@australiantruckspotting8883 more videos more videos.!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
2:14 my favourite prime mover.
Видимо есть участки пути ровные максимально по поворотам и горизонту.На таких участках и таскают такие сцепки. В сложных местах буксируют по одному контейнеру.😊
Wow , truk trailer nya panjang sekali, seperti kereta api
I'm watching your video🎥 stay awesome for me
Thanks, you too
5:59 that shot was just perfect
It came out alright on the video, I didn’t think it was that good when I filmed it. Thanks
@@australiantruckspotting8883 I really like far away zoomed in shots like that one, they look really cool
That was a good one.First time I've seen more macks than K.Ws I think.
Fantastic video. 🐿️🍃
❤️ from Africa 🦁🌍🌴⛅
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Do long ones I'm sure they only do straight line driving 😮
Highways mainly.
Interesting video for something common in Australia (but not in Europe), good surprise the railroad crossing (1:50).
I was in the right place at the right time to catch the train.
Is all trailers have twin wheels ? What is (in tonnes) per axel max weight?
Holy sit !!!! All are bigger than in Canada
Wow
Top vídeo 🎥 desses rodotrens gigante fazendo sussesso nas estradas Austrália 👏👏👏👍😎🇧🇷
Thank you !
Video au top 🤘
Thank you
🙌🙌
Why is there a train in my road trains video? 😡
👏👏👏

Long trucks can go fast. Is the truck's load light?
Not really, it’s mainly ore
Is there a place where it snows in Australia?
❤
More snow falls in the Victorian Alps than in all of Austria.😅
Yes, and there are ski resorts in the States of New South Wales and Victoria. plus the Island State of Tasmania.
Imagine trying to Alley Dock those behemoths!😢😨😵
Vaminhoes anda muito rapidos mesmo com tratores enormes
BR transportador. 💙 💛 💚 ❤
It is very interesting to see how the trend in Australia is changing for the better, the new trucks that are seen are European, the Australians are renewing their trucks for European ones that are much better, in Mexico something similar is happening, we have the American truck very deeply rooted, but they are much worse than the Americans
Truck pancang sekali...
Di indonesia pasri kesulitan melewati tikungan 😂😂😂
It seems most road trains ive seen typically have between three and four trailers sometimes five or six
Great vid and really interesting to see.
Nice mix on bonnetted trucks and cab overs, would i be right in saying Volvo are the most popular European brand owing to Volvo making Aussie FHs and FH16s in Wacol? (literally just found out the FM and FMX are Aussie made too which is cool 😄)
Thanks, glad you liked it. Yes I’d say Volvo are the most popular Euro brand in Australia. The Aussie built ones are made to suit the local conditions.
Awesome, yeah makes sense, be cool if Volvo (and Scania) made bonnetted trucks just for Australia (I know Iveco did sell one designed specifically for Australia for a time)
Iveco Powerstar, that's it, just had a google
@@alexhampton2802 I saw one just today
🤝🙌👏👏👏
How does those truck really turn in city busy centers
Road trains of this length are only used on highways where there is enough room.
Good morning 🍃🇧🇷☕️🧢 Sinister 🎵🤙🏽✌️✌️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
nice
❤❤
👍 wowww... Di tempat saya tidak ada yang seperti ini...
Hope you enjoyed watching it
❤
Wtf this looks way difficult to me
When’s the next vid?
I’m hoping to make another one in the next 2-3 weeks.
@@australiantruckspotting8883 sweet
😎👍
Thanks for video but is the video is in original speed or speeded up?
It’s original, the trucks are doing up to 100 km/h. They always seem faster on video than they did at the time.
@@australiantruckspotting8883 OK Thanks for info and Video!
100 km/h = 62+ mph US. That's damn fast enough for these giants.
everytime I see a road train, my reaction is always goddamn boi HE THICC 😅😅
Absolutely!
Ikari inene...ndianona ta icio vai
Im hoping someday that i can drive a road train.im here in the Philippines ❤
Which is the most powerful American truck or Volvo?
In this video, Volvo
Volvo trucks seem to be very prevalent
They are very common in Australia
Hello, I have a request: how can I obtain the addresses of companies hiring truck drivers? Can you help me please? Thank you
50 biggest Indian Truck is equal to this single truck.. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
São Paulo caçamba aí para pegar

It’s pretty good, but the hours are long.
PLease give 4k videos Thanks!
Next time !
@@australiantruckspotting8883 Thanks 👍
I wonder what tonnage those truck's are pulling...and whether their engines are standard from company or modified 😂 anybody please.. respond... Thnx
I worked at a mine in the Kimberly region of WA and the quad combination carried around 85 to 90 tonne of product
As a general guide
Triaxle is 44,000lb
Boggie axle is 36,000lb
Single steer axle is 14.000lb

ถือว่าน่าสนใจศึกษาทดลองสำหรับช่องทางพิเศษ เพื่อให้รถประเภทนี้วิ่งเพียงอย่างเดียวถ้ามันทำให้เราประหยัดน้ำมันมันก็ดีกว่าลงทุนทำรางรถไฟในคุ้มกว่ากัน
How long does it take to get through the scales ? HaHa.
ระหว่างสร้างถนนช่องทางพิเศษรับสร้างรถไฟอันไหนมันคุ้มกว่ากันสำหรับบางเส้นทางต่อขยายออกไป
5:52 I think we have a Winner🏆
