What’s the Biggest Semi-Truck?

Semi-trucks are one of the most iconic types of vehicles on the road. They are powerful and intimidating, and can carry massive amounts of cargo from one place to another. But what is the biggest semi-truck in the world?

The answer may surprise you: the biggest semi-truck in the world is actually a custom-built vehicle called “The Beast.” This massive truck was built by an American company called Custom Truck Creations in 2020. It has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 500,000 lbs, which is more than twice as much as a regular semi-truck.

The Beast has an impressive array of features that make it one-of-a-kind. For starters, it has two Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines that produce over 1,000 horsepower each. It also has eight axles with four front steering axles and four rear drive axles for maximum stability and maneuverability.

In addition to being able to carry huge amounts of cargo, The Beast is also designed to be extremely safe. It has advanced safety features such as lane departure warning systems, collision avoidance systems, and air brakes that can stop the truck within just a few feet even at full speed.

Custom Truck Creations isn’t stopping there either; they plan to build an even bigger truck with an incredible 1 million pounds GVWR! It would be able to haul massive amounts of cargo across long distances with ease.

Conclusion:

The biggest semi-truck in the world is currently “The Beast” which was custom built by Custom Truck Creations in 2020. It has a GVWR rating of 500,000lbs and two Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines that produce over 1,000 horsepower each.
