Haulotte GH13: heavy work vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 17,500 kg, an unladen weight of 17,460 kg, a 3,500 mm wheelbase and a width of 2,480 mm
The GH13 belongs to the class of heavy chassis-mounted work vehicles: machines that primarily carry a fixed piece of equipment or body rather than serving to transport cargo. Nothing certain can be said about the brand for this particular vehicle, but the layout speaks for itself.

At a gross vehicle weight of 17,500 kg and an unladen weight of 17,460 kg, only around 40 kg separates the laden and unladen states. That is unusual for a classic load carrier, but it fits a vehicle whose entire weight sits in a permanently mounted piece of equipment rather than variable payload. Wheelbase and width are 3,500 mm and 2,480 mm respectively.
Vehicles of this weight class with permanently mounted equipment fall into class N3 for trucks above 12 tonnes and are subject in the EU to the general 90 km/h speed limit for heavy goods vehicles. The high axle load requires correspondingly sized brakes and suspension.
When buying a used machine of this kind, the hydraulics of the work equipment are the main focus: check cylinders for leaks, hoses for age cracking, and the supporting structure for deformation or cracked welds. On the chassis itself, the condition of the brakes and axles matters most, since the high axle load stresses wearing parts more heavily than on a lighter vehicle. A borescope check of the cylinder bores can also catch early scoring before it turns into a visible leak.
