Oops.

How in the F. would you right that without either destroying it, or having to disassemble - and in the field at that - that would be a shit-mare of epic proportions.
They get giant cranes and straps in to lift airliners back on the runway, etc.

Also, most of that type of equipment can be taken apart. That's usually how most mining equipment is shipped, it's built "on site". You literally don't drive one of those trucks anywhere, it doesn't fit on a normal road.

Oh I realize that, but was under the impression ( TV, ain't it wonderful) that they were built (right side up) in the maintenance shop with large overhead cranes etc etc.

Flipped upside down and tucked into a rockpile is going to make recovery a bit of a ball ache. Depending upon how the site looks, you may have a bit of work to do before you even start on the Tonka.

Just use the hydraulics to raise the bed, then use a winch to pull on the front and it will tip on its wheels. Easy! :D

At least the trees in the background imply it's not down the bottom of a massive open cast mine - you might struggle to get the required equipment to it even more if it were.
