Renault Trucks trucks over 12 t (class N3) – collective page from the construction-site Kerax to the long-haul flagship Magnum: engines from 154 to 390 kW, gross weights up to 51 t
The EU vehicle class N3 covers trucks over 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every heavy Renault range recorded in that class. Two ranges shape the picture: the Kerax, since 2001 the construction and off-road vehicle with drive configurations from 4x4 to 8x4, and the Magnum, the long-haul flagship built from 1990 to 2013 with its characteristic tall, flat-floor cab, only replaced by the T range. Alongside these, the register holds numerous special bodies on Renault chassis, such as wood chippers and municipal vehicles, plus multi-axle construction chassis with additional (lift or trailing) axles.

The register lists 234 versions with outputs of 154 to 390 kW across 6 to 8 cylinders and kerb weights of 6,400 to 30,800 kg; gross vehicle weights range from 14,500 to 51,000 kg, width from 2,400 to 2,600 mm. Displacements are recorded up to 12,800 cm³, lengths up to 12,000 mm.
With its deeply lowered cab floor, the Magnum competed in long-haul transport chiefly against the Volvo FH and the Scania R/S range, while the Kerax as an off-road truck with concrete-mixer, tipper or crane bodies competes directly with the MAN TGS and Mercedes-Benz Arocs; the special bodies in the register show how widely the chassis is also used for municipal and forestry work.
On a used example, what matters on the Magnum is the condition of the cab mounts and air suspension, the clutch and gearbox, and frame corrosion; on the Kerax additionally the transfer case, differential locks and the condition of the off-road tyres; on all heavy versions an unbroken service history and the condition of the brakes, and on special bodies the registration and roadworthiness certification of the respective body.
