Cristanini TG12-4X4 – a heavy all-wheel-drive commercial chassis fitted with work equipment: gross weight 14,740 kg, wheelbase 3,520 mm, built 1970
Cristanini TG12-4X4 is a heavy all-wheel-drive chassis that, with a gross vehicle weight of 14,740 kg, falls into the heavy N3 class. The 4X4 designation in the type code denotes the all-wheel drive, which lets chassis of this kind work off paved roads as well.

For this 1970 model the register lists a kerb weight of 14,618 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 14,740 kg. The vehicle has a wheelbase of 3,520 mm and is 2,500 mm wide.
Between kerb and gross weight this vehicle has only around 120 kg to spare, an unusually narrow margin for a commercial vehicle of this size, pointing to a heavy piece of work equipment already fixed to the chassis at the factory that leaves little room for further load. The short 3,520 mm wheelbase against a gross weight of almost fifteen tonnes points to a compact, manoeuvrable build rather than a long load area.
For the purchase of such a historic chassis, check corrosion on the frame and axles, the condition of the all-wheel-drive mechanism and axle differentials, brake system operation given the high gross weight, and the technical condition of the fixed work equipment. A check of the power take-off and any hydraulic lines feeding that equipment is equally important, since leaks there are common after decades of use. Parts for such a specialised and historic chassis are only available through a small number of workshops that specialise in special-purpose vehicles.
