It would do the trick. 33' wide at the duals, tires 13' tall.

Other broken 797s, and 930e komatsu. We've got a fleet of 200, 400ton haul trucks.

Our original tow truck is a brutally old terex titan with a 16v149 Detroit. It's locked out of all gears but 1st. It's loud, way undersized, and flat out makes 3 mph.

They have up fitted larger leihberr trucks, but I've only seen 793 trucks in what I've looked at.
They make impressive stuff. The pusher low decks for draglines and shovels are nasty.

Leihberr doesn't make a bigger truck. The T282 is exactly the same capacity. It's actually physically slightly smaller than the 797.

Ya the 600ton lowboys are pretty gnarly. We never bought a trailer, someone decided they only wanted trucks bumper towed.
