A mining truck can be the size of a 1,550 square feet apartment (145.5 square meters).
One of the largest mining truck available, currently in use in Projeto Grande Carajás, Brazil’s largest mining project, located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, can be 25 feet tall (7.7 meters), 32 feet wide (9.7 meters) and 49 feet long (15 meters).

In this photograph I am seated in the wheel of a mining truck in Carajás, Pará, Brazil.
