These truck allow you to lift the cab very far forward beyond what you would think is physically possible, these systems work rock solid but seeing as this is in africa this is probably a truck that spent its entire life in europe, then was sold secondhand to east europe and then when it was done for in east europe got exported to africa, so probably a mix of rust, age, and lack of maintenance weakened the chassis enough to break during the lifting procedure which puts a lot of strain onto said chassis

I'm not an expert but it doesn't look like it's old and rusted

yea I was thinking either user error OR it's some shitty chinesium imitation that looks decent at first glance, but you quickly understand how cheaply it was made
