Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com Dump trucks. GIANT dump trucks. We're talking trucks that can WEIGH A MILLION POUNDS when fully loaded. With tires 12 feet tall. Big enough to crush those sniveling little ticks from the monster truck rallies without a twitch of the suspension.
This little book is packed with photographs of behemoths that would be at home tearing about madly in a science fiction movie set on Mars in the 39th century. Filled with the requisite photos of a diminutive female truck driver named Deb dwarfed by the tires. But this book on the world's biggest dump trucks seems to have the world's shortest index. Half a page. Half of the entries are under the heading "Giant Dump Trucks". But if you or someone you love loves giant dump trucks, you must have this book.

Simple facts on these huge trucks!January 23, 2001 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is yet another book that is excellent for anyone who has never seen large mining machinery and does not wish to be overwhelmed with technical information. The color pictures are great and give one an idea of how really big these trucks can be. However, much of the info is outdated as many of the trucks nowadays are much larger. In addition, not all of the manufactures out there are represented---where is Eulicid??!! Nevertheless, a very entertaining book!
small book on big machinesNovember 2, 2000 this book is a delight to read - and look, 'cause there is loads of excellent color photography. Tells some about technology, manufacturers and operators. Best way to get started on the subject, but the pictures are even good enough for the initiated. Excellent value for money.
