  1. Those where air snorkels the reason so tall is to try and keep in fresh air as you seen how they disappear in the dust if you follow them down you'll see to big tanks there connected to with air filters in them and if you look carefully the one's in the dust their was atleast one behind possible two but couldn't tell due to all the dust wouldn't want to be thos3 driver But sometimes they need to blow out on road they use air tanks on trucks with hose same with tyres pump up with air tanks from truck as for tyre pressure I know city trucks run 100 psi so that would be minimum Most where kenworths and normally made here in Australia 🇦🇺 there's a special division that make them for Australian conditions heat dirt and weights lengths also they make special large horse power engines for them as well only for Australia 🇦🇺 If you look carefully one of the primovers had three drive axle commonly known as tri axles and if have two axles known as bogey drive the the terminology used her amongst driver Also if you look at the one had the long nose and cab over they where both kenworths and the long nose was in front due to it massive horse power compared to cab over and some use caterpillar engines Cummins Detroits are the main three engines use Those dump trucks they where carrying have a load capacity 180 to 240 tons and the diggers in mines last time I seen them where electric massive portable free standing generator to supply power to them and the bucket lifts in one scoop 60 to 90 ton This was 20 yrs ago when I seen them I'm sure probably bigger now the dump trucks are 3 to 4 stores high From memory Tyers 20 grand each weigh in at 6 plus ton each very rare to see one being moved with wheels on They used to do free tours to see the mine working and the hole in the ground is like nothing you could imagine Those dump trucks and digger look like toys in the hole open cut mine and the have back then Toyota 80 series running around with tall red flags on them to try and stop them being run over while parked and moving around the only thing you could see of them in the hole if looked hard see the flag Truly big boys toys and mainly females who drive the dump trucks as they have less accidents and easier on the equipment as well If you every get a chance to see mining it will blow your mind and puts in perspective why massive running cost Yes that's what the outback Australia like for days and weeks driving If you look up a show we have on here called Aussie truckers these are guys that only do out in the bush they follow them around A bit like Ice truckers but outback and just as remote and dangerous if you get stuck out there you'll die unless your carefully There little to no help even when get bogged hope this helps
