    On the mines equipment that is in operation like Haulpaks have a 50 meter exclusion zone period no if buts or maybes go inside that at you own peril health wise and job security.
    One instance proves how things may change; The mine manager was showing a noob around the site and went down the pit without alerting the 988 loader operator, they parked up in what he considered a safe place wasn't the loader was cleaning up the floor and reversed towards the Hi-lux only stopping with the counterweight a mere couple of inches away from the front windscreen the bonnet being underneath the cwt. With 2 very petrified occupants despite frantic calls on the managers 2 way.
    The investigation proved there were errors on both sides A) The manager not getting a pit permit despite him being the manager does not exempt him from getting one rather than just driving down there except in an emergency.
    B) The loader operator had neglected to come off channel 40 (was talking to the truckie) C) Assumed the pit was empty so was focused on where he was going next instead of his reversing camera.
    It was unclear whether the managers Hi-lux interior needed cleaning afterwards but I do know upper management tore him a new rectum and was lucky not to lose his job.

    Back to the thread I am unsure about the tank in question as I cannot remember seeing pics of those types of attachments on the front glacis plate with them deployed in the Pacific, have seen the wading arrangement for the reefs on the rear deck but not the added stuff for the driver and bow gunner.
