The 510E is powered by a Detroit Diesel 12V-149TIB twelve-cylinder engine, producing 1,368.7 hp or 953.8 kW at 1,900 rpm. Top speed is 53.8 km/h, overall length is 11,378.2 mm, wheelbase is 5,129.8 mm and ground clearance is 634 mm. The fuel tank holds 2,649.8 litres, the cooling system 227.1 litres, the hydraulic system 408.8 litres, electrical system voltage is 24 V, and the tyres are sized 33.00-51.
Rigid dump trucks of this size work exclusively in open-pit mines without road registration, hauling rock and ore from the working face to processing or the waste dump. Unlike articulated dump trucks, they have a fixed front axle and are built for high payloads on graded mine haul roads, with comparatively modest off-road ability.
When buying used, a vehicle this size means checking the condition of the 33.00-51 tyres, among the most expensive wear parts in mining, along with the tightness of the tipping cylinders and the hours on the Detroit Diesel engine. The braking system also deserves particular attention given the vehicle's high overall mass, and the cooling system's condition is worth checking on an engine of this output.
