An ADT (Articulated Dump Truck) mining truck is a specialized heavy-duty vehicle used in mining, construction, and quarrying operations to transport large quantities of material like ore, rock, or soil. It's called "articulated" because it has a pivot point between the cab and the dump body, allowing it to better maneuver in rough terrain.

Key features of ADT mining trucks include:

1. High ground clearance and large wheels for navigating difficult terrain
2. All-wheel drive capability for operating in muddy or steep conditions
3. A hinged connection between the cab and dump body that allows for better turning radius
4. Load capacities typically ranging from 25 to 60 tons
5. The ability to operate in conditions where rigid dump trucks cannot

These trucks are particularly useful in mining operations because they can:
Handle steep grades and poor ground conditions
Access tighter spaces than traditional rigid dump trucks
Maintain stability while dumping on uneven ground
Operate effectively in wet or muddy conditions

Major manufacturers of ADT mining trucks include Volvo, Caterpillar, John Deere, and Bell Equipment. They're generally smaller than rigid-frame mining trucks but offer superior maneuverability and off-road capability.
