Popular in the distribution sector, there are always plenty of used 6×2 box trucks advertised for sale here on these pages. These three-axle trucks have a maximum permitted gross weight of 26 tonnes if not towing a drawbar trailer. This weight can increase to 40 tonnes when used in ‘wagon and drag’ combination – find a 6×2 box truck with the rear coupling and high powered engine if this is your plan. However, this configuration is less popular in the UK than on the continent – if you are looking for high volume/weight operation then consider a 6×2 tractor unit instead. Most of the 6×2 box trucks for sale in these pages will be fitted with a rear lift axle (behind the drive axle) which is lifted from the road when the truck is partially totally unladen. For added manoeuvrability when delivering into tight spots, try to find an example of a rear lift and steer example.
