Here is LIEBHERR's Massive 996 front shovel

Reaches twice as high as the machine itself

Although this is the older version of the 996 with a white shovel I highly

 recommened this or its new gray shoveled version to any serious collector...

Goes great when teamed up with the matching LIEBHERR T282 dump truck

Heres a size comparison of the LIEBHERR 996 next to this O&K RH 120 C

...next to the CAT 5130B

...and next to its smaller brother the 984

Working around the clock heres the shovel busy in action tearing away
