There was never any doubting the strength of the Kerax and as a muckaway option its chassis leads the way when the term 'heavy-duty' is used. The introduction of the lightweight Highway option has helped turn the heavyweight into a contender, and the manufacturer is keen to advertise its potential to break the magic 21-tonne barrier.
Underpinning the product for both muckaway and aggregate duties is the 11.1-litre dCi engine poached from the Premium tractor line up. At 32 tonnes, 370 and 420hp have proved ideal, and while it may lack the torque of its competitors the performance alone is enough to make it a contender. Cab options, from day to global with a fold-out bed, attract the roving tipper drivers who follow the work as well as local operators.
The Kerax is also available as a 6x4 rigid and a 6x4 The product has developed into a true rounder.
