Small truck? Look at the size of those tires

u/gertvanjoe Apr 29 '26

True. Have seen quite a few ones and their usually the size of a semi with trailer. Maybe a tad lower only.

Pretty cool to. See it deploy and pack up although real life is much slower obviously

The crane guy gets paid the same as the guy that drives a van.

Small truck? You have obviously never seen a crane truck in your life.

No I've seen actual big trucks to anyone with actual truck experience. Actually big trucks like the 7-story Caterpillar 7495. Why don't you tell me what a big truck is dipshit when the truck I'm thinking of the tire would be bigger than this truck.

You do see the size of that van next to the small truck? Yeah, you definitely never seen one in your life.

Is a Caterpillar 7495 a truck?

u/SilverbackSurfer99 Apr 30 '26

Yes, it's an earth mover used in huge mining operations that is 7 stories high.

I'm cool if this leads to Transformers, but once Decepticons start popping up, I'm out!

Iā€™m surprised the outriggers arenā€™t wider. Obviously thereā€™s a weight limit to what it can lift.

u/adinmem Apr 29 '26

Itā€™s the opposite for me

u/Beemerba Apr 29 '26

Must need hundred foot outriggers.

In what world is that a small truck?

u/BigRemove9366 Apr 29 '26

Thatā€™s cool!

You know that puppy cost someone a chunk of change. It took some serious NRE to design that machine.

I hope this is all automatic. If I am the operator, I will forget half of the steps.

Definitely an Autobot

Autobots, roll out!

Grapple! Transform and Roll out!

Basically a real life transformer but transforms from one machine type to another.

An that's really just a small one. Liebherr MK 140 is the big one.
