Scania RH – the collective page of heavy Scania trucks with axle configurations from 4x2 to 8x2, six- and eight-cylinders from 12.0 to 14.2 litres, gross weights up to 32 tonnes
This page gathers heavy Scania trucks with various axle configurations under one register designation, from 4x2 through 6x2 and 6x4 to 8x2, supplemented by chassis codes such as ZL and ZS for different frame and axle versions. The vehicles gathered here come from Scania's programme for heavy long-haul and special transport, in which six- and eight-cylinder engines, frame lengths and axle counts are combined depending on the body and payload. Scania, headquartered in Södertälje, Sweden, and tracing back to an 1891 wagon works, has been fully part of the Volkswagen Group since 2014.

The register lists here 13 versions with six- and eight-cylinders of 12,000 to 14,190 cm³, unladen weights from 8,380 to 16,080 kg, gross weights from 18,000 to 32,000 kg, lengths from 6,620 to 9,140 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
Heavy Scania trucks of this class are common in long-haul transport, as articulated tractors and in special transport work; the multi-axle 6x2 and 8x2 configurations allow higher payloads within statutory axle-load limits and are particularly sought after in construction and heavy haulage.
On used examples, engine and gearbox operating hours count, along with the condition of the clutch and drive axles given the high gross weights, frame and axle corrosion, and on tippers and special bodies the hydraulics; parts run through the Scania network, known for good parts availability even for older ranges.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
