Lemeire LEM1070 CPF: 7,000 kg chassis with dual rear tyres, a 2,999 cc four-cylinder engine, 7,560 mm length and a 4,940 mm wheelbase for box or tipper bodies
At a gross vehicle weight of 7,000 kg, the LEM1070 CPF sits in EU class N2, which covers trucks between 3.5 and 12 tonnes. Six wheels with dual tyres on the rear axle show a chassis built for a medium-weight body with the corresponding axle load, rather than a light van on single tyres.

The four-cylinder engine of 2,999 cc drives the vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 7,000 kg and an unladen weight of 4,631 kg, leaving around 2,369 kg for load or bodywork. At 7,560 mm long, 2,510 mm wide and with a 4,940 mm wheelbase on six wheels, the chassis is built for a medium-length box or tipper body whose weight loads both rear wheels evenly.
Above 3.5 tonnes the EU requires licence category C instead of B, and depending on use, tachograph and driving-time rules apply. The dual tyres on the rear axle spread the body's axle load over a larger contact area than single tyres, which is common for medium-weight bodies such as box vans or tippers and reduces tyre wear compared with a single wheel.
For a used example in this weight class, the condition of the join between chassis and bodywork matters, along with corrosion on the frame and rear wheel arches and the condition of the brake system under full load. On tipper or tail-lift bodies, it is also worth checking the hydraulic system, whose hoses and cylinders age over time and can start to leak.
