English term or phrase: mining haulers
This is another one (hopefully, the last!) of those construction machines or trucks. Does anyone know the correct German term? Any help would again be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to all of you. I guess, "Muldenkipper" is the universal term.

Explanation:
All 3 terms you're asking about are colloquial, not technical. without context, we don't know if they are dump trucks or what type.
I would just say sth. like "trucks used (for hauling) in construction, mining..." also auf Deutsch:
Lastwagen zur Materialbeförderung am Bau (oder: im Baugewerbe)und im Bergbau

Explanation:
Das sind tatsächlich Spezialfahrzeuge, die nur Massentransporte von Erde, Erzen, Stein, Geröll, usw., nicht aber Stückguttransporte (wie am Bau mitunter erforderlich) durchführen können.
