Construction rigids
 
Rigids
 
   
 
A comprehensive range of specifications covering diverse construction applications with chassis based on two, three and four axles.

The diverse range of operating conditions and applications in the construction industry makes it inevitable that there will be numerous combinations of major components to choose from. Full technical support for bodybuilding is available for a vast range of applications.

You can have any cab:
The power range associated with the R sleeper cabs includes all engines from 310 to 620 hp. For the P cabs, from 230 to 380 hp Euro 4 or 420 hp Euro 3. All-wheel drive chassis are restricted to the power range 230 to 420 hp. 

Axle configurations:
4x2 (chassis heights normal, high)
4x4 (chassis heights normal, high)
6x2 (chassis heights normal, high)
6x4 (chassis heights normal, high)
6x6 (chassis heights normal, high)
8x2 (chassis heights normal, high)
8x4 (chassis heights normal, high)
8x4 rear-steer (chassis heights normal, high)

Single axles have difflocks. Tandem bogies also have inter-axle locks. Traction control is standard on all models.

For an optimised combination of off-road strength, brisk highway performance and economical fuel consumption, a combination of a hub reduction drive axle(s) and a 12+2-speed overdrive gearbox is recommended (power range 310 to 620 hp).

Vehicles specified for less arduous applications can have single reduction axles, which have the advantages of less weight and lower frictional losses.
4x4 and 6x6 rigids have a 12-speed gearbox. Crawler ratios are available through the transfer box.
