This page gathers vehicles carried in the register under the CDL brand with the type designations 10660-G, 12.680, 12680-4K and 84300-N. The numeric type strings point to different weight or axle configurations within a heavy-duty programme. The four type designations differ mainly in their final digit sequence, which, following the pattern of heavy-duty chassis, marks different axle or weight variants.

The register lists 4 versions here with six- to eight-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 30,130 to 59,500 kg, gross vehicle weights from 32,465 to 59,500 kg, and widths from 2,760 to 3,000 mm.

With kerb weights approaching 60,000 kg, these vehicles sit in the top weight class of heavy haulage, of the kind used for transporting large components, in mining, or on plant sites; the small number of versions carried points to a special-purpose programme outside ordinary road traffic. Chassis of this size are usually built in small series and matched to the customer's specific body type, rather than serving as a mass-produced vehicle in ordinary road traffic.

For a used example of such heavy chassis, check the frame and axles for cracks and wear, the brake system and tyres of the correct size, engine mileage, and the hydraulics' service history; given the small number of units, it is worth contacting the last operator or outfitter before purchase to clarify the origin and technical condition of the individual vehicle; parts for such special vehicles usually run through the respective outfitter or direct import.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
