Hino 285 LP: Japanese six-cylinder truck with a 7,680 cc engine, a gross vehicle weight of 11,570 kg and six wheels on a 5,390 mm wheelbase

Hino is a Japanese manufacturer of trucks and buses and part of the Toyota group. The 285 LP shows the layout of a medium-duty low-frame chassis, of the kind used for bodies with a low loading floor, such as closed box bodies or vehicles fitted with a tail lift.

The six-cylinder engine of 7,680 cc drives a vehicle 9,120 mm long, 2,420 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 5,390 mm, spread across six wheels. At a gross vehicle weight of 11,570 kg and an unladen weight of 6,970 kg, around 4,600 kg remains for body and payload.

At just over 11.5 tonnes, the vehicle sits in class N2 for trucks between 3.5 and 12 tonnes, the classic distribution segment for urban and regional rounds. The low frame makes loading and unloading at ramps and with pallet trucks easier, and six wheels on two axles spread the axle load more evenly than a simple two-axle vehicle on four wheels.

For a used Hino in this class, the condition of the tail lift or rear door, if fitted, matters, as does rust on the frame around the tow hitch. With six wheels on two axles, it is also worth checking the rear axle's brake pads and tyres, since these see heavier wear in urban distribution work with frequent stop-start driving. The condition of the load floor itself, such as dents or corrosion through the deck, also says a lot about the kind of goods it has carried.
