4x4 MAN 7.5t truck

[stanoverlander]

How about this for an alternative to a unimog ?

 

7.5t permanent 4x4, 130hp..

 

5 speed box, 3 diff locks, 3 seat cab, nice and quiet

 

Could be fitted with 3 way tipper like a mog, or normal tipper..

 

A few about with low km's, some with winch's

 

This would require an 'o' licence

 

Let me know if you want one

Looks kool. What payload? How much?

[stanoverlander]

I had one of these, really nice to drive..

 

I made it into a camper;

will it take a pto chipper ??

[stanoverlander]

I never weighed it empty but I think around 3-4t payload, depending on chip box etc..

Prices around vary on condition as always but realistically £8-12k+ vat then add transport, import, tipper and MOT etc

I would need to look into this, its something I have thought about.. I will see what I can find out..

Since our Iveco 7.5 tonne tipper only has a nominal/just over 3000kg payload.

I would have thought these in 4 by 4 spec could not have any more payload once fitted with tipping gear and bodywork.

Neat and Tidy looking truck though.

PS

Pure tyre kicking courosity,

But what type/capacity is the winch.

ie PTO driven /mid chassis mounted, or hydraulic?

You are probably right, whats really good with these MAN's is the size, they are very compact, and very robust. No complicated torque tube like the mog and no portal axles to worry about. Leaf springs but surprisingly comfy !
