The hauler with our tour guide stood in front to give you an idea of size

The machines are all so huge in size, the tyres on the hauler pictured are 3.6 metres high and cost about £20000 to replace! On the mine site no-one is allowed to overtake any vehicle because it is too dangerous. The drivers of these haulers can’t see what is below them and there have been several fatalities at nearby coal mines where haulers and water trucks have run straight over 4x4 road vehicles.
