Details we have included are: fully articulating body and bucket, removable cab, functional rear suspension and fenders, a detailed engine compartment and of course all the markings and paint as accurate as the real thing.

Features that made this machine a favorite of miners and quarry men included: a wide choice of buckets, 29 ½ tons of break-out force, 40,000 lbs static tipping load rating, short turning with articulated steering, long wheel-base stability, single-lever power shifting and speeds to 21.6 mph forward and reverse. The 988 is 28’3” from bumper to bucket and 12’1” from ground to exhaust pipe.
