The World's Biggest Truck

The World's Biggest Truck

The Terex Titan, now retired from service and on view in Sparwood, British Columbia, is 235 tonnes when empty, 66 feet long, and -- when the dump box is doing its job -- 56 feet tall.

About this place:

The town of Sparwood, British Columbia, on Highway 3, is the final resting place of the world's biggest truck -- the Titan 33-19. After being displayed by General Motors at a Las Vegas convention, the Terex Titan was used in a local coal mine from 1978 until its retirement in 1990. It is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest tandem-axle, rear-dumping hauler.
