Caterpillar 797F can handle 400 tons.
I have seen many trucks that supposes to handle 8 tons were modified to carry 40 tons. They were just crawling on highway and I hated to be after them when I drove in China.
Rockypath, so with your 見識, could you conclude from the wreckage photo that it was a modified rig that could handle 100 ton (not 40 ton) as mentioned in the news?
I have no doubt Caterpillar 797F can handle 400 tons. My 4 years old cousin has many of those mining trucks "model" and he love them. But even our 4-years old know he wouldn't able to see the mining trucks on Canadian highway. Have a nice day.
