- 3 of Heavy Haulage Australia's Kenworths carry three Caterpillar D11 in an impressive heavy metal cavalcade through central Queeensland. They use Australian made Drake Platform trailers or what they call lowboys in the US
Yeah the boys at HHA really like their tall gear shifters. They're look cool and work a treat.
Nice to see the boss was not scared to get in a truck and do some work wonder what Jon is doing now seemed nice bloke
Nah the setup HHA would have is a Joey box (auxillery box) behind the main box. So you can use the 18 gears in 4 different ratios which gives a lot of benefit to this sort of work.
Matt Hinge they're 18sd Road Rangers. No joey box unless the truck is an old one.
Hi and many thanks for the uploads of the video of the three truck and three D11"s! Quite a site.
Take care

Boss puts in a few miles behind the wheel too. That's good because he has a better feel for what the troops go through every day. Being part of the team has it's advantages and who wouldn't be proud to drive one of those rigs?
It still didn't stop HHA from going broke
Totally understand stop start in waste industry - hope all long haul have seats belts because we have too many bad drivers not considering trucks on our roads :)
@mariani704 i would say ones covers half and the outher dose the rest, or if there is 2 boxes, ones low range and ones high range i asume :)
get it there john you always do
Great stuff hope you enjoyed seeing him
Nice . and they use this benefits to the best . As far as i know hauling oversize loads it is not an common job .
@mariani704 I had the same expression as you when I saw that, I'm still working out how that transmission works!
Whats the story behind the Taller gearsticks? is it just a comfort thing for your drivers? I'v seen them on all the Heavy Haulage Australia kennys.
Toona Versacii just for looks
@OMBIC Yes i don`t know much of Gearbox system that they use :-)
Its called float shifting without a clutch ashley
Imagine 1000 John kelly's, would be the biggest and best business in the world!
@PurpBugle And where is he now?
my dad was the person on the end
This bloke went bust? To much flashy tack around him
i have the clou why they have so long gear leveers. they have a lack of muscles and if they`re in panic with shifting at a steep climb with 180tons, they hope to change the gears better if the gear box has the oposite opinion. lol but the trucks and sound s are soooooo cooooooooool! regards from europe where voith invented the viab for heyvy haulage up to 300tons of load
MrDriftspirit got nothing to do with muscles and panicking. The gear leaver is extended for looks.
They like to have a long shaft in there hands just like the North Americans do for there inadequacy. Mine you the ones over here reach the bloody roof
1:30 two gearboxes ?
1 gearbox. All you saw was the driver put it into neutral and then into the gear required
aussiefirie noooo those trucks have 2 gear boxes. Main trans and an auxiliary trans. Watch the video.
@commentnotapproved1 HA HA.... they're out in front where they should be.
1:06
A specced out Volvo would pull all three D11s
Excuse me? Nah
@@joshcook8586 haha yeah you are right, think I saw this around that time czcams.com/video/5UUz1zTZFfU/video.html Either way Volvo is more bang for a dollar, I love the romance of a Kenworth though, old White trucks even more
No seat belt - great safety - not!
E=mc2 dumb arse.
In certain situations you don't have to wear one, one example is garbage collectors in some states don't have to wear them while they are emptying bins.
They would have lap only seat belts. Not all trucks have the lap/sash belt
