In its lightweight single-reduction axle guise, the TGS is markedly different from the tippers MAN produces for the European market.
Powered by the popular and frugal D20 engine the marque is becoming increasingly popular with tipper operators who like the good ground clearance of the high-set cab and the lack of complexity and vulnerable side tanks afforded by EGR.
Now ERF has gone, buyers' decisions are even simpler. Either choose the light or heavyweight chassis and an ML or XL cab the latter is on the 8x4 chassis only. There's also a 6x4 tractor, which is probably best suited to bulk waste or plant haulage work.
MAN's great strength, whether on or off the road, is its build quality, and the TGS tipper line-up is no exception. The auto option shouldn't be ignored either.
