Vehicle Overview

Today, more and more companies are turning to tilt cabs instead of conventional chassis cabs. With their excellent manoeuvrability, visibility and operating efficiency, W-Series tilt cabs make good business sense. Add to that, the ample power and torque of their engines and the formidable strength of their frames and you’ll see why the W-Series is so popular for many commercial applications.

Advice

Urban Performers
|
These remarkably fuel efficient diesel-powered tilt cabs are ideal for urban pickup and delivery applications. Their short wheelbase configuration provides excellent manoeuvrability. Designed for the lighter end of the medium-duty range, they are none-the-less built tough enough to handle the daily grind of pot holes and stop and go driving associated with a delivery service. Crew cab models equipped with a dump body have proven popular with landscape contractors.
