Multicar – other models: collective page of the M26 and M30 municipal and light-truck ranges from Waltershausen, 2.0-litre engine, 1.8 to 2.9t unladen weight, 3.5t gross vehicle weight
This page gathers Multicar models of the M26 and M30 ranges in various body versions (WAL, WHL, KAL with a running number) which the register could not assign to a named range. Multicar has built nimble light trucks for municipal, construction and works-yard use in Waltershausen (Thuringia) since the 1920s; the abbreviation Ausf. stands for version and denotes the particular body or drivetrain variant of the range. During the GDR era, VEB Multicar belonged to the IFA combine, before the company was privatised after 1990.

The register lists here 6 versions with up to 1,997cc displacement from four cylinders, 1,800 to 2,920kg unladen weight against a gross vehicle weight of 3,490 to 3,500kg, and 1,580 to 1,810mm width.
The compact dimensions and tight turning circle make the M26/M30 ranges classic carrier vehicles for sweeper, snowplough, tipper and loader-crane bodies in winter road maintenance and works yards, where they also cope with narrow inner-city streets; Multicar now belongs to the Hako Group.
When buying used, check for rust on the cab and frame, the condition of implement interfaces and the power take-off, the tightness of the hydraulics for tipper or crane bodies, engine operating hours under continuous municipal service, and the condition of the tilting cab and its seals; spare parts run directly through Multicar or Hako.

What to check before buying
