As regards passenger cars, speak to you from a kilo or 2,000 already a solid tank. That ‘t all have much more extreme can prove to these big boys.
7. Mercedes-Benz 770 (W150) with armor (4.800 kg)
We kick off with the 770, a car with a pretty questionable past. During the Nazi-time were almost all prominent members of the regime travelling in this kind of stately limo’s. Thanks to the armor were checked in reasonably protected against bullets and grenades, but the leaders of now they are probably much more secure in their S 600 Guard. All in all, this posh bowl to book as the heaviest production car ever.
6. Berliet T 100 (102 tons)
The Berliet T 100 is designed for the North African oil-exploration (Sahara), and belongs definitely in this list at home, more so because it is one of the or the first was. The development has in the secret place, during the Paris motor show (1957) was the 6×6 shown for the first time. One had to be a special pavilion let it drop to place to the colossus has to offer. There are a total of 45 units made, the first in 1958. Under the “hood” layers 29,6 litre Cummins V12 engines, 600 and 700 horsepower delivered. The control system was powered by a separate small Panhard engine.
5. Caterpillar 797F (223 tonnes, plus possibly 400 tons load)
Large steps at home soon, that must be the idea behind this enormous truck, which would have been as the greatest vehicle in the world with only two axles. With the 4,000 horsepower V20 (yes, twenty) gets the leviathan a top speed of 68 km/h. The tires measuring more than 4 metres in height and weighing per piece 5.300 kg. A flat tire is indeed a expensive joke at a 797F. The Michelins cost everyone namely 42.500 USD and each of the 797 only has six. Swallow. Check HERE how it looks like the biggest Caterpillar of the range is being transported.
4. Belaz 75710 (360 tonnes, plus possibly 450 ton load)
The 75710 was designed at the request of large/regular customers of BELAZ. Those customers operate trucks ranging in capacity of 130-360 tonnes. They wanted a vehicle that has all the characteristics of their current trucks, with maximum capacity. The result is the largest dump truck in the world. The two V16 turbo-diesel engines deliver each with 2300 horsepower, the maximum speed is, however, 64 km/h. Movie!
3. Crawler Transporter (2.721 metric tons)
This moveable coffee table is 40 by 35 meters, was until 2011 used to Space Shuttles from A to B move. Loaded gets the Crawler has a top speed of 1.6 km/h), but without load it goes twice as fast. To do this, use is made of 16 electric motors, that juice will be provided by four generators of a megawatt, which in their turn are charged by 2 V16 diesel engines with a total of 5,500 hp.
2. Bagger 293 (14.200 tonnes)
This excavator is of German origin was in 1995, built by TAKRAF, and is used in the lignite mines at Hambach. The enormous structure used 20 schepbakken each 15 cubic metres of crap to move. 293’s cost each $ 100 million, and there are as many as five people at the same time need to be able to work.
1. Marion 6360 The Captain (15,000 tonnes)
And last but not least, this giant of a whopping 15 million pounds. To that number in some perspective: that’s over 30 times the maximum take-off weight of a jumbo jet. The monster had a firm to 15,000 hp to his decision, and in the few crane arm could more than 130 cubic meters at the same time be versjouwd. The Captain was built in 1965 and served until 1991.
