A lightweight haul vehicle comprising a haul carrier arrangement, typically utilised in mining and/or construction operations for hauling raw material such as ore, coal, rock or construction material, is disclosed. The vehicle 10 comprises a chassis 14 for supporting the haul carrier arrangement 16. The haul carrier arrangement comprises a support arrangement 18, 34 fixed relative to the chassis. A carrier arrangement, which in the form of a sheet of flexible material 22 such as a synthetic mesh or net, is suspended from the support arrangement and supported to form an open-top receptacle for operatively receiving raw material. The carrier is constructed from edge-joined panel and includes steel rope reinforcements. Also disclosed is a means for using intrinsic electric or fibre optic sensing strands within the carrier arrangement. Alternatively, a clamp-on device such as a radio frequency device or surface acoustic wave device may be used. Visual or spectroscopic evaluation of the raw material can be made.
