“The new BELAZ is another representative of heavy trucks in the line of special-purpose equipment of the Belarusian Automobile Plant, made by order of the Oskol metallurgists. Improved systems and components of the machine take into account the wishes of partners for the most convenient, efficient and safe work. Therefore, BELAZ-79211 is so long (about 13 m) and wide (almost 4 m), but at the same time very low - the height of the cargo platform is only 1.6 m. being regulated is also a specificity of operation, ”the press service said.
The machine is equipped with a powerful Cummins engine, modern braking, fire extinguishing and automatic lubrication systems. The chassis of the heavy truck is equipped with 14 highly elastic tires (wheel arrangement 14x4).

Two control posts, by the way, are another feature of BELAZ-79211, dictated by the specifics of metallurgical production. That is, in cramped factory conditions, a heavy truck can move like a shuttle without resorting to turns.
