32 tonne trucks or 32 tonners are also known as 8-wheelers, four axle rigids or 8×4 (or 8×2) trucks. The ‘32 tonnes’ relates to the gross vehicle weight (total maximum weight of the truck chassis, body and load).
These trucks help to build our country. They are extremely popular in the construction sector – from an 8×4 tipper on road building fitted with an insulated tipping body for Tarmac to an 8×2 truck with a heavyweight truck mounted crane for heavy lifting jobs about the site.
Other key sectors include waste and bulk feeds and grain – anything that you need to cram into a bulk truck body!

These trucks only have one drive axle – of the remaining three, one, two or all three of them could be used for steering. The configuration could vary, depending upon the loading requirements of the truck’s duty cycle.
Think beavertail/cheesewedge plant trucks or heavy machinery movers with large cranes. With only one drive axle, it is unlikely that these trucks are suited to off road building site work. That’s the job of an 8×4 32 tonner.
These 32-tonne trucks will be happy on and off building sites, as the additional drive axle provides more grip – albeit at the cost of a degree of manoeuvrability. Most of the 8×4 trucks will have all the wheels on the ground all the time, (no lift axles), although Scania launched a rear lift option for their double drive bogies in 2021.
With local tipping work it’s all about payload, payload, payload. Alongside dealer service, Totnes, Devon-based Jeremy Bishop Haulage says that the extra payload the Iveco Stralis X-Way is giving them is the main reason for buying Iveco. L-R Will & Jeremy Bishop in front of their Iveco tipper fleet This means that the company has doubled its IVECO fleet by taking delivery of two Stralis X-WAY 26-tonne 6x4 tippers (AD260X42Z OFF) with Active Day (AD) cabs. The two 6x4s join the two 480hp Stralis X-WAY AD340X48Z OFF 32-tonne 8x4 AD-cab tippers which were delivered to the operator in May. How…>
DAF Trucks are growing their presence in the nationwide fleet of trucks belonging to National pump hire, rental and distribution specialist, Selwood with the addition of six new DAF CF trucks. Selwood used to favour a different truck manufacturer, but the experience of the trucks and the support of the dealer network has convinced the company to buy more DAFs. Fleet profile shifts in favour of DAF Trucks Three out of Four Axles Steering The trucks, supplied by Lancashire DAF in Preston, consist of 6x2 rear-steer 26-tonners and a four-axle 8x2 rear-steer. Selwood’s total fleet now includes 55 LGV trucks,…>
Saving fuel and saving water at the same time – that’s a proud boast by the operators of their new ‘Tridem’ Mercedes Arocs 3258. Enviro-Clean Scotland’s latest, eight-wheeled Mercedes-Benz sewer-cleaning truck is a ‘green giant’ in more than one sense – as well as sporting the company’s distinctive verdant colour scheme, it is also reducing both water and diesel consumption. Supplied by Dealer Western Commercial, the high-riding Arocs 3258 is equipped to save up to 15 million litres of clean drinking water every year, and capable of doing the job of two or more trucks. The new Arocs is fitted…>
Here’s a good test of a truck and the availability of new trucks. Leedale buys two Mercedes Arocs 8x4 tipper grabs and two from a competing manufacturer (who shall remain nameless here). Some ten months on, two more trucks are needed and the deal goes to Mercedes-Benz. The trucks themselves must have played a large part in the repeat order heading towards Mercedes dealer, Rygor Commercials, but consider too that the deal was done and the trucks were delivered inside a fortnight. That should be enough to clinch even a close deal. Like their predecessors, Leedale’s new trucks had been…>
