A NEW 15-ton-gross version of the Pax V will be shown by Dennis Bros. Ltd. at the Scottish Show in November. A payload capacity of more than 10.5 tons is claimed for the model.
Three w heelbases are to be offered 12ft 4in., 14ft 5in. and 17115in.—and in general design the new model follows that of the Dennis Pax V range which until now has been offered for a maximum gross weight of 12.9 tons.
The engine is a Perkins 6.354 which develops 120 bhp gross at 2,000 rpm and the gearbox is a Dennis five-speed constant-mesh unit. Full-air braking meets current MoT Regulations.
The plastics cab used on the Pax V is employed and a tipper version with a gross weight rating of 14 tons is also available.
