The Kerax has been under marketed and traditionally over weight in the past to build any real market share in the UK but it is arguably the strongest built chassis on the market— ideal for muckaway.
Strong and durable, it will pull out of just about any situation. The 11-litre dCi engine shamelessly nicked from its Premium range has given Kerax even more versatility in the quarry, as well as a smooth road performance, improving luel figures.
Options include 370hp and 420hp engine for the 8x4 tipper and a 320hp version for the 6x4 chassis cab, as well as day cabs and Global cab that has a fold down bunk, utilising good internal space. Service intervals vary from 40,000km to 60,000km depending on application, with warranty at one year unlimited, or extended for two years' limited mileage. Interior comfort is functional but lacks the panache of competitors.
