Pretty cool. But something does not seem right. No fluids splashed, and doubt if that would crush the power train as completely as it appears.

having been in a gravel pit, driving a large quad axle dump truck that was dwarfed by one of those I would say it could happen. This one looks slightly staged though. still fun to watch.

I have seen what a very large dozer will do to a good size forklift when the operator doesn't know it was parked behind him. there isn't much left to salvage.

Aside from lookin' a little thin for the engine block to be there afterwards ... It woulda' been fun to be the driver of the CAT.

I have worked around the 797 shown in the video. It does happen, that a light vehicle is that flat. This is staged because you can see that there is no driver in the Rover. Even the smaller 793's will flatten a full size pickup that much. When I worked out west I saw a left over truck after something similar. Looked like it had been through a crusher.

One thing I never got past was the size of the equipment. It is absolutely amazing to see a truck the size of a 4 storey apt building.

FYI The smaller 793 has a payload of 240t, and weighs about 175t unloaded. The 797 has a payload of 400t and weighs almost 295t unloaded
