Not a hard hat or hi-viz in sight,my god,how was someone not killed!!!
No Hindrance and Suffering in that quarry !!!
I’m impressed by that one. Imagine if your foot slipped off the clutch when shunting round that hair pin, and I would be ■■■■■■■■ myself that the brick would come through the cab on the decent!!

Think I would have had it a bit further forward on the bed (not much weight on the steering) & had a couple of straps going from side to side.
Having said that- I wouldn’t fancy doing the job anyway.
That is why I love Iveco
I remember reading an article by the late Pat Kennett in T&D recaling visiting a quarry like this in italy in the 70s when they was using Fiat 8 leggers with a winch on where tgey dragged the lorry under the stone then put another on top.
He reconed it was one of the most frightening trips he ever took.
I hope they’ve done at least 21hrs DCPC training by now.
