2017 Scania R730 6x4 Tractor Unit, Auto, PTO, Rated to 150 Ton - 171 G 3110 - YS2R6X400G5442707
If you are looking to buy a heavy haulage tractor unit, there will never be hundreds available in the UK’s used truck market at any one time. If it has to be a Scania heavy haulage tractor unit then the numbers to choose from fall again. That said, with the impressive V8 engines, Scania is a popular choice of truck for exceptional load operation. With gross weights comfortable up to 150 tonnes GTW and power outputs up to a whopping 770hp, the V8 Scania heavy haulage trucks are up to the job. Of course, there is the price to take into account, but no tractor unit built for this type of operation comes cheap. Keep an eye out for the 8×4 Scania tractor units – there are usually some available at any time and if you can’t find the Scania truck to buy then you may want to consider an alternative brand – perhaps a Volvo?

Heavy haulage trucks and fuel savings are not usually found in the same sentence. However, Scania have put together a transmission that could improve fuel consumption with a transmission robust enough for the job and able to pull away with the largest of loads. Heavy G-Range Transmissions Scania’s G25CM and G33CM range is now joined by two new members, with an “H” (for Heavy) in their designations. G25CH and G33CH share all the virtues and properties of their siblings.
