Tractomas 1.000 HP Extreme Trucking Biggest Prime Mover Truck in the World by Nicolas - Bauforum24 

Look a little closer. The truck itself is about twice the width of an ordinary truck that pulls trailers on any highway in the world. The cab is the standard width of a road truck. It would be no more cramped than any other truck cab. To me, it looks like they started with what might be a MAN cab, and adapted it to bolt onto this monster. On some mine sites in Australia, we have a similar arrangement pulling road trains of ore. They resemble a bonnet cab Kenworth, but they're also twice as wide as a normal road truck

That's Renault Premium cab. Very cramped :)

I used drive a Mercedes Atego and an Isuzu FRR prior to that. Both cabs would be smaller than this, but how does Renault do it that makes it cramped? I'm an average 5'10, not built like a weed, but neither truck felt even remotely cramped.

I would say on steroids and speed... ;-)

Damit kriegste auf der Straße...... keine Zulassung!

hahahahaha!!

It's for falling stones or big rocks

Judgement WowBG me too

Yes, it is said in the video.

No need fancy cabs. Simple and practical.

Hahaha! :D Indeed Johannes, indeed :-)

+JackMacLupus Geduld... bald isses ja wieder soweit ;-)

I have an unfinished 3 axle version somewhere.

The Great Steve could i have some pictures?

Unfortunately it's in bits in the loft. But I'll finish it eventually.

cool well add me or something and when you get around to its you can send me some pics sound good?

@Hello Golferchin how are you doing

Gareth Ifan Truth

Bigger displacement means a less stressed engine. It also probably doesn't need all that hp, torque matters. Besides, caterpillar already has the c32, if the c27 isn't enough.

If you calculate bhp/l there really isn't much difference.

Es gibt ja noch wasserstoff

And French Cab.

I don't know why they use American engine... There are so nice ones in the drawer from MTU or MAN. I think, it's cheap. 😄

@@juergen07091973 cheap? I guess you have never dealt with a CAT engine before, especially the big ones. They're the opposite of cheap lol.

....и Фантомаз !

Perhaps they picked the CAT-engine due to better spareparts availability in the markets these trucks are sold to mostly?

@@primus.interpares Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your comment; I am more inclined to think that they got a better deal as they recently purchased the company. Simply couldn't refuse what looked like a more lucrative deal on paper.. M.A.N along with other German automotive makers all have an exceedingly well established network throughout the world. There isn't a place on earth where you cannot fix & repair a Mercedes or M.A.N ( even in third world countries). CAT on the other other hand does not make commercial trucks ( more into heavy earth moving & construction; oh & I forgot their boots!!!). But you could be right; I think it's much more profound than just that. Kind regards.

@@dilipbaumier1327 Thanks for your kind comment, Dilip! Now that you mention CATs heavy earth moving equipment: It could be just that reason for the mining industry: To have vehicles in operation, which share quite a lot of engine spare parts, saving costs for spare parts logistics this way. Best regards, Stefan

@@primus.interpares Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you very much for your comment which does make sense financially but I suspect there is more to it than just commonality of spare parts. If said company ( Tractomas in this case ) has been acquired by a German company, there is a strong possibility that maintaining a relationship with CAT is way more profitable than to source a new supplier of Diesel power units. Also on the subject of commonality; have you not noticed that sometimes certain vehicles are identical despite sporting a different brand name? Surely what is the likelihood of 2 come 3 or more factories making exactly identical vehicles? Or the other option is using the same chassis & bolting on differntly shaped articles to further bring the manufacturing costs down. Look at Lamborghini cars ( with Audi V10 engines), Volvo 4X4 (with Yamaha engines), the list is endless where manufacturers find more cunning plans to reduce their overall costs down to an absolute minimum & thus maximising profits. It doesn't stop at the automotive sector either, most aircrafts today ( as in Boeing for instance) source a lot of their parts from different countries around the world ( from Turkey to mainland Europe & beyond). But as you rightly pointed out commonality of spare parts is also a major concern for manufacturers. Trust this helps. I am somewhat surprised that no one bothers to look into Rosenbauer monster trucks ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LpU2WpnN1yU.html) &/ Ginaf ( Ginaf.com) or last but not least: ETF trucks( 8 axles, 32 wheels) Kind regards.

@@dilipbaumier1327 I think, as far as the engine of that Tractomas is concerned, CAT just had the right package with their engines. Sure, Mercedes-Benz has very nice engines, but 27 ltrs with 1000 BHP? Not that I know if... Look at MAN: They built the so called Kat A-trucks (8x8) for the German Army, but the engines were coming from Deutz. MTU is famous for large Diesel-engines, but these are used on tanks or ships or large generator sets. Not sure if they have engines for heavy earth moving equipment or such heavy tractors in their range at all. CAT is quite specialised in this field, so Tractomas was well advised to stick to these engines, even after they were sold to the Germans, I think.

It is built to work on big Minesites to carry several trailers at a time.

das ist nicht zuvergleichen! dazuhin habe viele lkws um die 3500

Ganz einfach, der Bugatti fährt hubraummäßig in der Schnapsglasklasse. Ein Wärtsilä RTA96flex bringts in der 14Zylinder Version auf schlappe 8000000Nm Hat aber auch den Hubraum wie ein Tanksattelzugvolumen.... Wenns denn reicht. 25000 liter

Natürlich, das ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Scania der möglichst leicht sein soll um viel Zulandung zu ermöglichen und einem Tractomas der das Gewicht sowieso braucht um Offroad die Traktion zu haben. Man könnte auch nen leichteren kleineren Motor und ein paar Bleiplatten einbauen.

Es ist schon ein Unterschied, ob die Leistung oder das Drehmoment aus 13liter oder aus 27liter oder aus 40liter kommen. Es gibt so Kapitel wie Leistungscharakteristik und Lebensdauer.....

And now they pushing 770, and 3700.

Bigger displacement = a less stressed engine. Besides, the c27 is an old ass engine from 80s with a few minor updates.

@Hello Maik how are you doing

da ging es wohl eher um die breite und 8x8 für die zugkraft. und nein, ausgangsdrehmoment an getrieben ist sinnlos als vergleich. mehr leistung bedeutet, das drehmoment bei höheren drehzahlen abgeben zu können, demnach fährt er schneller unter last.

answer the question in the language it was asked in, since you are obviously bilingual.

17000?? Dude, read some papers again...

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂

sholllll

Yes, it has a c27 caterpillar engine that was built in the 1980s with a few updates. No doubt a modern diesel engine would be more efficient. The c32 is a more modern counterpart (was first launched in 2006). The c32 has a max power output at 895kW and max torque @1200rpm, 5500Nm.

Wenn du ca. 400kg an nem einen Meter langen Hebel packst, was meinst du, wie lange es die decks Spaghettiantriebswelle an nem Scheiß PKW macht? Das ist im ersten Gang eher akademisch als daß man da tatsächlich eine solche Kraft auch abrufen kann. Da hat das Auto viel zu wenig Reibung am Rad und zu wenig Masse. Und beim Laster isset anner Kurbelwelle und nicht anne Räder.... Da wirds deutlich mehr sein.

you right they should have ùmobilised a 600t convoy just for a shooting!

Да что толку сравнивать машины с 30-ти и более летней разницей ? У нас например выпускают те же самые МЗКТ 74132, которые по 400т тягают и это серийная машина. Nicolas работают исключительно по заказам, так что в Минске за приемлемую сумму сделают более достойные аппараты, тем более что есть опыт производства машин с мощностью до 1800 л.с.

Mehr form follows function.

Ja die Kabine ist wirklich nicht die Schönste. Da hätte man wirklich was ansehnlichheres nehmen können. Entweder das, oder man hätte auch die Kabine selbst fertigen können so das sie den Fahrzeugkonturen, besonders der Breite des unteren Teils, angepasst ist.

Eine eigene Kabine macht aus meiner Sicht da echt keinen Sinn. Ihr müsst bedenken, so ein Tractomas ist in Relation zu "normalen" LKW eine absolute Kleinserie und in dem Kundensegement zählt die Leistung wirklich noch mehr als das Design. Webei das natürlich auch immer relevanter wird. Aber am Ende des Tages müssen diese Trucks abliefern. Viele Grüße, André

Ja schon klar, wie gesagt, das hätte ich persöhnlich so gemacht. ISt natürlich klar das hier Leistung vor Schönheit geht und das ist auch okay.

Not really, it's just old.

Yes, we all know that but the Liebherr is not made for the roads, the Tractomas yes ! See the difference ?

Sure, you're 100% right. But I was just referring to dimensions and raw power ;-) Looking at your name: Check out our little test I did with the Unimog U5023, not as big and powerful either, but very versatile: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lgGhcdFTGiI.html Kind Regards, André
