Look at that steering wheel.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck.

Quite an unusual side tipper which I cannot yet identify.
Assuming the RHD signifies an English marque, can it be a David Brown product??

Not English

Bill Murray · « **Reply #4 on:** October 25, 2013, 08:22:38 AM »

Thanks.

OK, then, the driver does not look American so can it be a German marque?

Wendax · « **Reply #5 on:** October 25, 2013, 12:18:17 PM »

Not German either

Maybe it is American after all - a Terex?

Wendax · « **Reply #7 on:** October 25, 2013, 05:21:25 PM »

Not American

it's not British, German or American which begs the question "Who else would make heavy construction plant?". Is it from Russia?

Dutra DR 50 (Hungary)?
Beginning with the 60s, the Central European countries rebuilt their industries and were producing an extended range of industrial equipment. Some Polish and Czech machines were widely publicized on the Internet, the Hungarian and Romanian ones - not so much.

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** October 26, 2013, 05:31:45 PM »

Not Russian and not Hungarian

staulan · « **Reply #11 on:** October 27, 2013, 06:35:29 AM »

Then it must be Steyr - DR 50 or D413 (different sources, different versions).

Wendax · « **Reply #12 on:** October 27, 2013, 07:12:46 AM »

Not a Steyr

Gerd's commercial vehicles are always a great challenge and often eat up hours of research time.

For a little "Comic Relief" on this Sunday, here are two photos I copied off of Google whilst trying to solve this dumper puzzle.

I must say I was totally amazed at the number of "enthusiast sites" on the Internet that are devoted to such subjects as "Mining Trucks", "Coal Trucks", "Dump Trucks" etc. etc. etc. And many of them have a great sense of humour in their postings as you will see below.

And, BTW, I am no closer to solving the puzzle but it has been fun learning more about these trucks.

Not Czechoslovakian

Italian - maybe Fiat?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** November 02, 2013, 01:22:50 PM »

Not Italian

D-type · « **Reply #19 on:** November 03, 2013, 07:26:25 AM »

Is it from the Netherlands? In which case it's probably made by DAF?

Wendax · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2013, 12:41:25 PM »

Not Dutch

Wendax · « **Reply #21 on:** November 10, 2013, 02:48:21 AM »

up again

4popoid · « **Reply #22 on:** November 10, 2013, 05:37:24 AM »

Perhaps an Australian mining truck?

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** November 10, 2013, 05:42:49 AM »

Not Australian
