The register lists a six-cylinder engine of 10,518 cm³ producing 265 kW. Against a kerb weight of 17,570 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 kg, this leaves a payload of around 8,430 kg. The vehicle is 10,100 mm long and 2,550 mm wide.
The name Frontpress points to a body with front-mounted pressing technology, used to compact loads on heavy chassis instead of a conventional flat load bed. At 265 kW, the vehicle carries a strong engine that, besides propulsion, can also power the hydraulic pressing process. Lorries in this class are limited to 90 km/h across the EU, and driving one requires at least licence category C.
When buying a used vehicle with a front-mounted pressing body, the condition of the hydraulic system, including cylinders and hoses, and the function of the press control matter most. Add to that a check of the braking system under full load, corrosion on the frame and mounting parts, the seals around the cab, and the availability of spare parts for the special front body through the Faun distributor.
