Right click it and open in a new page. I find that anything that is in the truck photo or documents and manual files, they won’t open unless you do this.

Hey Andy,
Good question. I went out and measured my 48 509 and she is 80 inches from shop floor to roof and clearance lights. Of course the smaller models will probably measure up a tad shorter as the wheel sizes get smaller. Hope this helps you to imagine. Hope you meet one in person soon. They do impress.
Cheers jp
