32 Tonne Trucks for Sale (340)

Axle Options for a 32 Tonner

Trucks with 8×2 Axles

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.

Trucks with 8×4 Axles

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.
