Iveco 50C18 – short-wheelbase conversion on an Iveco Daily chassis, EU class N1: 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine, 5,000 kg gross weight and 3,000 mm wheelbase
This vehicle is based on an Iveco Daily chassis in the 50-class weight bracket fitted with a third axle, as used by independent bodybuilders for compact vehicles with a large axle-load reserve. The short wheelbase combined with three axles is typical of bodies that must carry a heavy load in a small space, such as tail lifts, work platforms or compact crane bodies.

For the 50C18 the register lists a four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2,998 cc. Kerb weight is 3,125 kg, gross vehicle weight 5,000 kg. The vehicle is 5,600 mm long, 2,150 mm wide and has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, carried on six wheels.
At 5,000 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU vehicle class N1 for light commercial vehicles. The short 3,000 mm wheelbase combined with six wheels spreads the axle load of a heavy attachment or body over a wider base without giving up the manoeuvrability of a compact vehicle.
When buying a used example, check the condition of the rear axles and their bearings under the extra load of the body, the brake system, and rust on the frame and axle mountings around the short wheelbase. Chassis and drivetrain parts run through the Iveco dealer network, body parts through the respective equipment supplier. The condition of any tow coupling fitted, and the cab door seals, are also worth checking.
