Even a big pickup truck looks like a tiny ant in front of a gigantic Caterpillar 793B mining dump truck, which passes with great ease over it. I agree, the following video looks like a setup but nevertheless it’s absolutely amazing to see that impressive power of the Cat 793B passing over that little bump in the road, that “resembles” a Toyota Land Cruiser.
It appears that the engine of the Land Cruiser was removed (surely this was done to reduce any possible damage to the Cat 793), but the effects of their meeting are still very impressive.
I do not know if it was intentional or just a distraction, but see what happens when a Toyota Land Cruiser is hit by a huge Caterpillar 797B. The final outcome of this encounter was exactly what the title says: one Land Cruiser pancake. All we can say about that poor Toyota is: rest in peace…
Do you suddenly feel the need for some delicious pancakes? 🙂
That’s a 793, not a 797.
Thanks for the notice Seth. We fixed the error.
It was a 793C and yes it was a set up (to be honest I’m surprised anyone thought anything different!).
If you want more details you have my email.
Thanks a lot Bemused. We’ll keep that in mind 🙂
This was done years ago on one of the waste dumps at the super pit in kalgoorlie. They still have that ute as you drive in the gate. Just as a reminder
Thanks for the info Scott. Any videos of the event that we could see?
I think this dump truck is for carrying of 120 Ton payload..
That’s quite something indeed. Impressive piece of machinery.
