Good to know: gross vehicle weight is not payload.
The figures refer to vehicle classes by maximum authorised gross weight. Available payload, loading space and equipment depend on the specific vehicle used. We assess the right solution based on your shipment details.
The illustrations show typical vehicles of each class. The vehicle used is agreed during order planning.
