How Off-Highway Trucks Work
Off-highway trucks are designed specifically to handle materials for mining and heavy-duty construction work. They can travel off-road, hauling materials from the mine, quarry, gravel pit, or construction site. One off-highway truck can do the work of dozens of average dump trucks. While a dump truck can generally handle loads weighing around 25 tons, an off-highway truck can haul 100 to 300 tons per load. They are able to move dirt, rocks, and other materials at a higher volume. This represents a huge reduction in the per-ton cost of hauling for the business. It also saves the cost of repairing or replacing an average rigid dump truck because of the tremendous weight of the loads.
The off-highway truck is comprised of two main units: the tractor, or front portion and the dump body, or trailer, section. Since it is steered by pivoting the tractor, all the wheels tread the same path. This makes it an excellent performer off-road, where the rigid dump truck is not able to travel. Volvo is not only the leader in off-highway trucks, selling around 50% across the globe, they are also pioneered the development of the vehicle type.
