This was in a thread awhile back. I saw a special on TV today about the Sliver Spade.

Saw the same show. What I didn't realize is how big those 100 ton plus dump trucks really are even though I've seen them working Montana mines. The tires alone are just four inches shorter than most interstate highway overpasses, top of the cab 28 - 30 feet. Fuel economy is around 1000 ft per gallon.
