In some cities where parking space is a premium, small vehicles dominate the streets.
However, in areas where people find larger is better, larger vehicles are a typical sight.
This is one of the reasons why larger vehicles are common in the fields and on the ports.
Nonetheless, there are land vehicles that many consider as the largest in the planet.
The Supercar Blondie YouTube channel listed some of them, and they are pretty distinct to the usual mass of sports cars and supercars adorning her channel.
The Biggest Vehicles In The World: Haulers, Loaders And Diggers
First on the YouTube channel’s list is the Belaz 75710, which puts to shame even the largest truck one can buy from General Motors, Ford or Ram.
Belaz 75710 is the largest haul truck in world, measuring more than 67 feet in length, more than 32 feet in width, and nearly 27 feet in height.
Also working on mines is the Komatsu P&H L-2350 wheel loader, which is the largest in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
It stands over two floors tall and can carry a payload of 80 tons to up to 24 feet in height.
Much larger than the P&H L-2350 loader is the Caterpillar 6090 FS excavator, which has a height equivalent to a three-floor building.
Aside from mining, this mammoth can also engage in heavy digging projects.
It traces its roots to the Bucyrus RH-400, which was the basis for the Decepticon Demolisher in Transformers 2.
The Bigger The Machine, The Greater The Work
Interestingly, the previously mentioned vehicles are puny compared to the Liebherr LR 13000 crawler crane.
It can achieve a hoist height of more than 800 feet, allowing it to work on construction of massive power plants in the world.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration crawler-transporter isn’t as tall as the LR 13000, but it’s definitely massive enough to fit a baseball infield.
Used to carry rockets to launch pads, the NASA crawler is very slow; it can only move as fast as 2 mph when not loaded.
On top of the list is the Bagger 293, a gigantic bucket-wheel excavator measuring 738 feet in length and 311 feet in height.
It looks like a massive metal building, although is a proper vehicle.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists it as the heaviest terrestrial vehicle.
The channel named the Big Muskie dragline excavator and the Schwever Gustav & Dora railway tank, but didn’t include them in the list they aren’t operational anymore.
