I´ve seen this before on the Discovery channel, it´s used to build mega projects like the Three Gorges Damn in China. I wonder what brakes that thing has, imagine trying to stop that when it´s fully loaded :shock:

LoL..
Supposing your tyre goes?
The trucks are supposed to be driven at no more than 40 miles per hour. That is relatively slow, so if a tyre blows out it's not going to cause an accident in most cases.
A blow-out can damage vehicles close-by because the tyre is holding so much air and just the force of that... Drivers have actually been killed by tyre explosions, but not on our trucks, thank goodness.

I would love to see someone do a review on that...
