Peiner Gis AK 058: crane chassis of vehicle class N3 on eight wheels, with an eight-cylinder diesel engine and a payload near zero signalling permanently mounted work equipment
Peiner was a German manufacturer known chiefly for truck-mounted and mobile cranes; chassis of this kind often carried a permanently fitted lifting mechanism rather than a conventional load bed. At this level of gross weight combined with a payload close to zero, the vehicle is typically not a transport vehicle in the ordinary sense but a mobile piece of working equipment.

The eight-cylinder diesel engine drives a chassis 2,470 mm wide on eight wheels, with a wheelbase of 6,040 mm. With a kerb weight of 39,810 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 40,000 kg, only about 190 kg of payload remains – a figure that points to permanently mounted work equipment rather than to load transport.
With a gross vehicle weight of 40 tonnes, the chassis falls into vehicle class N3. Eight wheels on four axles are typical for crane chassis of this weight class, keeping each axle load within permitted limits despite the high overall weight. In the European Union, vehicles of this class are subject on public roads to the general 90 km/h speed limit.
When buying such a chassis used, besides the condition of the frame and axles, inspecting the mounted lifting mechanism matters most: cable condition, hydraulic cylinders and outriggers should be checked by a specialist workshop, since operating safety depends directly on them. Corrosion on load-bearing frame parts is a common weak point on vehicles of this age.
