A MOVE into the 6-wheeler municipal market has been made by Seddon Atkinson with the announcement of its new 201 6x4 model.
Operating at 24.4 tonnes it offers substantially increased loading capacity to the local authority user when compared to the 201 4x2 municipal which has already established its popularity in the market place.
The (4.55m) 14ft 11in wheelbase chassis is designed to take 29 cum refuse collection bodies which are available through the major municipal bodybuilding specialists.
The new chassis is powered by a 149 bhp Perkins T6.3544 charge-cooled engine. It has an Eaton 642 CM..1 five-speed constant mesh gearbox and Seddon Atkinson RA-472 rear bogie. The Allison MT 653 automatic gearbox is available as an option.
Norde suspension is fitted, and allows a bogie loading capacity of 18,000 kg.
The big loader boasts all the benefits of the standard 201 crew cab including spacious sixman seating, easy access and low cab entry.
Facility for front end power take-off is a standard feature as on all Seddon Atkinson municipal vehicles.
