Sadly he was on highway (95) came to a toll booth (yes while back) , toll taker refused to let him go saying he was too high = had large off highway Euclid on lowbed. he wasn't too high. climbing up to measure; slipped fell from top hit concrete and died. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/103/#findComment-582743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted Friday at 11:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:26 PM front bucket looks so small in comparison to the machine. 992 that's not even the biggest.(994 cat). not to go off topic; But the 994 not the biggest loader out there, history channel while back had the segment on machines !!! guess like any job running it would be fun for a while then become just another job.
