Sisu SR: the collection page for the Finnish heavy truck for multi-axle duty, CKH and CPH cab codes, 14-litre engine from 216 to 327 kW
Sisu SR is a heavy truck range from the Finnish manufacturer Sisu Auto, known for rugged multi-axle trucks built for Nordic conditions in construction and forestry. The number in the type designation (220 to 332) historically orders the power class, CKH and CPH denote different cab or chassis configurations, the axle formula 6X2, 6X4 or 8X4 states the number of wheel and drive axles, and the figures after the slash, such as "440+130", give wheelbase and overhang in centimetres.

The register lists 18 versions here with 216 to 327 kW, a constant 14,000 cm³ displacement and six cylinders, weights of 9,410 to 14,500 kg, gross vehicle weights of 27,000 to 48,100 kg, lengths of 8,000 to 10,700 mm and widths of 2,480 to 2,800 mm.
As a domestic Finnish brand alongside the dominant imports from Volvo and Scania, Sisu mainly occupies niches with particular demands on off-road capability and winter durability, such as timber haulage, road construction and municipal multi-axle vehicles with high payload.
On these heavy trucks, check frame corrosion from winter road salt use, the condition of the axle reduction gears and wheel hubs on the multi-axle chassis, the turbocharger and injection system on high-mileage engines, the hydraulics of any tipper or PTO attachments, and the air brake system given the high gross weights.
