Synopsis

What does it take to build a truck capable of carrying 450 tonnes in a single load?

In 2013, the BelAZ 75710 appeared with dimensions that seemed almost impossible. More than 20 metres long, nearly 10 metres wide, powered by two massive diesel engines and supported by eight giant tires, it was designed to haul a load heavier than many people could easily imagine.

But its enormous size is only the beginning of the story.

THE MAKING OF THE BELAZ 75710 takes you behind the numbers to uncover why engineers decided a 360-tonne mining truck was no longer enough, what stood in the way of going bigger, and how a series of difficult engineering decisions eventually produced a 450-tonne working machine.

Why eight tires instead of the conventional arrangement? Why use two 16-cylinder diesel engines? Why generate electricity onboard instead of simply connecting those engines mechanically to the wheels? And perhaps the most fascinating question of all: once hundreds of tonnes are moving down a mine road, how do you safely steer and stop them?

The answers reveal a machine far more sophisticated than an oversized dump truck.

Follow the story from BELAZ's earlier heavy-haul machines to the ambitious project unveiled in 2013, then inside the engineering of its twin engines, diesel-electric traction system, hydraulic steering, pneumohydraulic suspension, high-strength structure, enormous dump body and powerful braking systems. Finally, travel with the 75710 into real mining conditions, where impressive calculations had to prove themselves through repeated loads, steep haul roads, maintenance demands and the unforgiving economics of moving rock.

Along the way, discover why building bigger does not automatically mean building better, and why fuel consumption, reliability, infrastructure, servicing and cost per tonne mattered just as much as horsepower and payload.

Written for engineering enthusiasts, mining and heavy-equipment followers, mechanics, students, machinery lovers, industrial-history readers, and anyone fascinated by how extreme machines are created, this book turns complicated technology into an engaging story that is easy to follow without stripping away the engineering that makes it fascinating.

The BelAZ 75710 became famous for its size.

The real story is how engineers made that size work.

If you have ever looked at one of the world's largest machines and wondered, How on earth did they build that?, this book was written for you.
