Used 26 Tonne Trucks
The 26-tonne truck is popular format in the UK. For this reason, there are always plenty of 6×2 rigid 26 tonners for sale @Truckpages. Remember however, that some advertisers do not enter the vehicle weight into their listings if that is the case then they won’t appear here.
If you can’t find what you are looking for on these pages, try a search for a 6×2 truck and choose the body type you are interested in.
Why Buy a 26 Tonne Truck?
Using a 26-tonne truck is a great compromise between excellent payload and manoeuvrability. A typical 26 tonner will weigh in at between 7.5 and 8 tonnes unladen weight, compared to an 18 tonner which is only some 400-500 kgs lighter. This means a whopping 7.5 tonnes additional payload, assuming similar bodies. In reality the 26 tonner will have a longer body, so a realistic additional 7 tonnes could be possible on a 26 vs 18 tonne truck.

More About 26 Tonne Trucks
Following this theory, you could load even more onto an 8×2 or 8×4 truck with a 32,000kg gross vehicle weight. This is the case, but you would need to be carrying heavy cargo because the body length cannot get much greater for general distribution work. These types of trucks are normally used when a crane is fitted to the truck which takes up a lot of payload potential or as a bulk tipper or hookloader.
The downside of a 26 tonne truck compared to an 18 tonner is the ease of manoeuvrability – they tend to be longer and with more rubber on the road they are harder to turn when delivering.
To Lift or not to Lift Axle?
Most 26 tonne rigid trucks are fitted with lift axles, (or lift and steer). This means that, when the truck is not fully laden, the additional axle is lifted from the ground, saving tyre wear and fuel and making the vehicle easier to turn.
The lift axle could be behind the drive axle (rear lift) or in front of the drive axle, (midlift) and could help the truck by steering – or simply fixed.
What about a Drawbar?
Fit a higher-powered engine into a 26-tonne truck, a connector plus electrics/air at the rear and you have a typical drawbar combination that is favoured on the continent. These turn the 26 tonner into a 40 tonne Gross Train Weight vehicle.

FH500 26 Tonne Trucks (61)
The FH500 is fitted with Volvo's 13-litre D13K engine rated at 500hp.
This straight six engine produces its maximum torque of 2500Nm at 980–1270 r/min. There is a 'TC' version of the engine that has a higher torque output at 2,800Nm. According to Volvo, "The 500 hp I-Save with the TC engine moves into D16 territory with 2800 Nm at the same low revs."
Both engine variants use the I-Shift, but the 'K' engine uses the AT2612F or the ATO2612F, whereas the I Save TC uses the AT2812F or...
Econic 2629 26 Tonne Trucks (56)
The 2629 was effectively replaced by the newer Econic 2630. Unless retrofitted to meet the standards, these pre 2014 models will not be allowed to operate in low emission zones, (such as the London ULEZ) so operators are starting to upgrade to the newer models.
Many of these Econics will therefore be heading towards right hand drive export markets where Euro 6 is not mandatory in city centres.

XF105.460 26 Tonne Trucks (49)
The XF105.460 was sold in the UK right up until the end of 2013. This means that the trucks are not available at Euro 6, but nonetheless are still popular on the Truckpages website.
Using the 12.9-litre PACCAR MX engine, the XF105.460 was mainly sold as a 6x2 tractor unit, although there are some used 4x2 versions available from time to time. Most you will find are midlifts, but some rear lift 6x2 tractor units are around.

TGX 26.440 26 Tonne Trucks (46)
The TGX 26.440 is the most popular and common model variant of the TGX range in the UK's used truck market.
The 440hp engine is perfect for many applications, although truck buyers can upgrade to the more powerful 26.460 or the 26.480. Make sure you are looking at least a 2014 year model to make sure that it is a Euro 6, as the model variant was made from 2010.

R440 26 Tonne Trucks (38)
A member of Scania’s R-Series family since its introduction for Euro 5 back in 2009 the 440 was the first time we saw Scania’s DC13 EGR engine (which was also available as a 400 and 480hp version.)
Rated at 440 HP, 2012 saw the R440 get an optional EGR or SCR operation for Euro 6.
Post-2009 models will have received the facelift – noticeable by the grille and dashboard and lost the ‘third’ pedal (namely the clutch) – you will see details of ‘2-pedal Opticruise’ in certain...
R420 26 Tonne Trucks (37)
The Scania R420 trucks advertised at Truckpages will typically be from 2006 to 2012.
The earlier models before 2006 used the 11.7 litre DC12 engine at Euro 3. After 2006, Scania had the Euro 4 versions available - still using the DC12 but now fitted with EGR.
With the introduction of Euro 5 in 2009 the R420 remained - but as an SCR version whilst the upgrade was to have the new R440 with a 13-litre engine - the DC13 with EGR.
The R420 was finally discontinued with the retirement of the...
CF85.410 26 Tonne Trucks (21)
The most popular of the CF85 range - judging from the numbers for sale at Truckpages - the 410hp CF85.410 was supremely flexible. Powerful enough to be used as a 6x2 tractor unit, many found themselves on 4x2 supermarket operation.

CF85.460 26 Tonne Trucks (18)
The CF85.460 is DAF's workhorse tractor unit model. A smaller, narrower cab than the XF, but a better resulting payload.

Using the PACCAR MX 12.9 litre engine for Euro 4 & 5 EEV operation from 2008 up until the models discontinuation at the end of 2013 when it was replaced by the...
XF510 26 Tonne Trucks (15)
For truck operators and owner drivers who are not content with having the same truck as everyone else, the Euro 6 XF510 is an upgrade from the 460 variant that is so common on the UK's roads.
At the time it was DAF's highest output truck, sharing the same MX-13 engine with the XF460, but has a different level of power output to meet an operators needs and ego.
The model was discontinued with the 2017-18 facelift and was replaced by theXF530 which became DAF's top=powered truck.

XF530 26 Tonne Trucks (14)

CF320 26 Tonne Trucks (14)
The CF320 is proving a popular choice for high payload operations since launch in 2017/18. Using the lightweight 7-litre PX-7 engine rather than the larger 11-litre MX-11 as used in the CF300 ad the post 2017 model CF340, the 320 can provide that extra payload for operations such as plant carriers.
Typically configured as a 6x2 at 26 tonnes, we also see examples of 4x2 rigid CF320 trucks with drawbar connections.

CF75.360 26 Tonne Trucks (13)
The 9.2 litre CF75.360 was not as well loved in the UK market as the larger 12.9 litre CF85.360. Whilst the cabs were identical, the additional torque available from the larger engine (1450Nm vs 1775Nm at lower revs) mad the CF85 a more popular choice.
The CF75 version was available as a tractor unit in the UK, but only as a 4x2 which represents a small percentage of the UK market. As a result, most of the 75.360 trucks were sold as 6x2 distribution trucks at 26 tonnes although you can...
CF370 26 Tonne Trucks (13)
The DAF CF370 is the only power output for he CF range that remained the same after the 2017/18 facelift. Running from 2014 onwards, the 370 is powered by the MX-11 engine and sits in the middle of the power outputs available for this engine.
Using EGR and SCR to reach Euro 6, the 370 replaced both the 9-litre CF75.360 and the larger 12.9 litre CF85.360.
Typically configured as a 6x2 rigid at 26 tonnes operation, the 370 is popular as a beavertail or curtainsider - the additional...
FM420 26 Tonne Trucks (12)
The FM420 is often confused by truck buyers and sellers into looking for the FM13.420 which was a truck that was never built.
Before Volvo changed from the 12-litre engine that powered the FM12 range to the 13-litre that powers the current range, it changed the model numbering system.
This means that around 2005/6, the ’12’ part of the number (the engine’s swept volume) was removed leaving the cab type (FM – Forward control – Medium) and the horsepower (in the case of this...
CF440 26 Tonne Trucks (12)
Available from 2014 until the model revamp in 2017/2018 the 440 had been the most popular power output from the MX11 engine and was used for a variety of applications from a tractor unit to a tipper.
Replaced by the CF450 in 2017/18, these models have a claimed 7% improvement in fuel usage. Less popular was the lower-powered 410HP version

Actros 2546 26 Tonne Trucks (11)
This Actros model number was used in the pre-Euro 6 Actros before 2013 as well as the later version. In the UK the truck will usually be configured as a 6x2 tractor unit, although you will see the odd drawbar combination featuring a 6x2 rigid and drawbar trailer.
Thanks to the 460hp output of all Acros with this model number the 2546 should be up to any job it encounters.
