The TORTON has an unladen weight of 9,780 kg against a gross weight of 28,000 kg, giving a payload of 18,220 kg. Body length is 11,880 mm at a width of 2,550 mm, and the wheelbase is 8,060 mm on eight wheels. The permitted top speed is given as 100 km/h.
Eight wheels on a wheelbase of just over eight metres spread the axle load across at least two axle groups, which is necessary for road approval at a gross weight of nearly 28 tonnes. Class O4 requires an air brake system; the simple overrun brake of classes O1 and O2 is not permitted here. Towing requires a category CE licence.
When buying used, the condition of the chassis, axle brackets and coupling matters most, since corrosion and fatigue cracks appear there first. The air brake system with its lines, coupling heads and cylinders should go on a test bench, along with the brake linings or drums. Axles and wheel bearings should be checked for play, and the load bed is worth inspecting for deformation from earlier overloading. Axles and brake components from major suppliers such as BPW or SAF make spare parts easier to source independently of the vehicle maker.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
