The register lists here 3 versions with engine displacement of around 3,922 cc and four to six cylinders. Kerb weight ranges from 5,050 to 5,440 kg, gross vehicle weight from 7,500 to 8,150 kg, length from 5,350 to 5,400 mm at a width of 1,650 to 1,680 mm.
The narrow spread in weight, length and width shows a fairly consistent vehicle size across this range's history for municipal road sweeping, where manoeuvrability in tight town centres matters as much as sufficient payload for the debris hopper. Sweepers like these typically run fixed routes in shift operation and see daily use with local authorities and road-maintenance firms.
On a used vehicle from this range, wear on the brushes, seals and suction system, and frame corrosion from moisture and road salt, are the key checks, along with the operating hours of the auxiliary engine and hydraulic pump where the sweeping system is driven separately. Chassis parts are available through the general commercial-vehicle trade, sweeping-technology components usually only through specialist municipal-equipment suppliers.
