8×4 Scania trucks are well sought after in the UK’s used truck market. These chassis are well engineered and renowned for their hardiness and reliability. Most 8×4 trucks spend their working lives in the harshest of environments, including building sites and waste depots. If you are new to truck buying and would like an 8×4 Scania as a hookloader, grab loader or tipper, then you should be looking at the most popular cab – the P Series – with the most popular engine – the 410hp. So search the listings of 8×4 Scanias on these pages for a P410 and you won’t go far wrong. If you are particularly looking for the extra heavy duty versions, then keep an eye out for the ‘XT’ badge. To delve into the detail further, a Scania 8×4 rigid truck can come as a traditional layout with two steering axles at the front and two driven axles at the rear (available in normal, semi-high and high chassis heights) or tridem configuration with one front steering axle, followed by two driven axles and a rear steering axle. This tridem version is only available in normal and semi high chassis heights.
