According to the manufacturer, it's a Mining Truck.

I await apologies from all of you.

That is fairly conclusive.

Yeh - I mean, what do Komatsu know, right? Pfffft.

When I did work for Terex, they called trucks "Dump trucks" if they could drive on the road and "Haul Trucks" if they could not - mainly Mining and Construction units.

I can tell you that in the UK construction industry you're not likely to hear people use the word 'truck' at all, it would just be a 'dumper' whether front or rear tipping. The only exception is 25t rear tipping dumpers which tend to be referred to as 'Moxys' regardless of brand.

Nobody else watched the sumo wrestling avidly on Ch4 back in the late 80s?

Our builders just called them artics when doing the driveway. It really is a whole new language they speak, gennies, wackers etc. A loader, regardless of brand is a JCB, even if it’s a tractor with a back hoe attachment. And then there’s stuff which I thought used to be forum joke speak/grammar such as referring to the wife as “the missus” and incorrectly constructed sentences which just seems to be how they speak. GG would have a field day.

Oh how I would have loved to have seen you interacting with the guys doing your drive Mito.

We had a league at St Johns.


Yokozuuuuunnnnaaaaaaaaa!!!!

That and Kabaddi, god bless Trans World Sport.

They are mining trucks, as then you don’t have to be a vehicle nerd to know which model it is.

Dave!

I don’t mind them what I really hate is the places that specialise towards trade. So B&Q or Wickes never sell good timber but there’s an independent lumber yard with sawmill which is about half the price and much better quality. The first time I asked for 2x4 in metric mm they just looked at me like I was a berk and labelled a Londoner But that’s how wood is listed in normal DIY places isn’t it. Still I’m much better these days.
