Description
The Terex Titan was manufactured by General Motors of Canada, and is to date the world's largest tandem axle truck ever built.
The Terex Titan is powered a 16 cylinder locomotive engine, and delivers 3300 horsepower. It was combined with a huge generator to deliver power to 4 traction engines located on the real wheels. The generator alone has enough power to supply 250 homes with electricity.
Specifications:
Height: 6.9 m (22.5 ft) With Box Raised: 17.1 m (56 ft)
Length: 20.1 m (66 ft) Width: 7.6 m (25 ft)
Weight: 260 tons Payload: 350 tons
Max Weight: 610 tons Horse Power: 3300
The tires are 11.5 ft in diameter, and weigh 4 tons each. Two Greyhound buses and two pick-up trucks would fit inside its dumper.
The Titan is no longer used because of the huge expenditure needed to keep it running. This truck is a tourist attraction in Sparwood, British Columbia, Canada.

I've been through Sparwood on a roadtrip of my own and seen this thing. I can attest, that mother's BIG in a way numbers and specs can't convey. Great photo. Wish the photos I took while there were this good.
