thing. Sorry, I just had to take that in for a minute. Eric, how do you feel after seeing it? Yeah. I think I'm almost as tall as the tires. Yeah. The tires are taller than her. Uh-huh. This is going to be awesome. Okay. So, the So, you have actually steps built right into the front of the grill. Everything's easy to get to. [Music] So, what are you doing there, Eric? I'm opening the hood. So, it's on a hydraulic cylinder. It opens the hood. Just showing you how easy everything is to get to. So when a technician has to get into the engine and work on it, it's real easy to get in there. Everything's done at ground level. When it's time to change the oil, all you do is drop a little door right here. This this door comes down. It's a hydraulically lowering belly plate. get to the oil, change it. Um, D16 Volo engine. Um, got your gas cap right here. Your fuel on the other side. Everything's really easy to get to. Really technician and user friendly. See, you basically crawl right. Absolutely. You can crawl all around that engine. You crawl into the engine to work on. That's a piece of equipment I like. This is awesome. Wow. All right. So, your filters, you got filters up front. You see fuel filters here, engine oil right there. Everything's easy to get to. So, how does this differ then from a typical 40 ton or smaller rock truck? How once you get into these 60, this is a 60 ton and we're the only one that does the 60 ton true six-wheel drive articulate hauler. Um, the biggest difference is the payload, okay, and horsepower. And then the truck's got to be built to be able to hold the payload. All right? So, this is a very heavyduty. It's built like a mining truck. A lot of mining influences went into the design of this truck.
