Komatsu worker Le Roux is the only Australian entrant in the World’s Strongest Man event Los Angeles on October 1.

He lugged the WA480 wheel loader six meters along the driveway at his workplace, Komatsu’s local headquarters at Wacol, Queensland. Le Roux used a ladder attached to the ground to help him get going, but that was all the assistance he had.

He managed the task easily, which is understandable given he has previously pulled a truck weighing in at 80 tonnes.
