On the way to Kalgoorlie, we had to pass this monster truck bed (actually 2, one behind the other)  and they were so wide the traffic on the other side of the road had to be stopped to allow these things to pass, since they took up both lanes.  These were headed to one of the mine sites, and they are the bed of the dump trucks, which are enormous. 

Here's a pic of the super pit, and if you double click on it you can see the dump trucks going up the side.

This is one of the mining vehicles, so massive it's hard to believe anything could be that big.
