Pezzaioli R450: heavy Italian carrier vehicle of vehicle class N3 with a six-cylinder, 12.7-litre diesel engine and eight wheels for tipper and tanker bodies
Pezzaioli is an Italian manufacturer of bodies and semi-trailers for commercial vehicles, known in particular for tipper and tanker trailers used in construction and agricultural transport. A vehicle with its own six-cylinder diesel engine is a self-propelled carrier for the corresponding body, rather than a plain trailer pulled behind another vehicle.

The six-cylinder diesel engine of 12.7 litres drives a vehicle 9,350 mm long and 2,550 mm wide on eight wheels. With a kerb weight of 12,900 kg and a gross vehicle weight of 27,000 kg, the payload comes to about 14,100 kg, on a wheelbase of 5,850 mm.
With a gross vehicle weight of 27 tonnes, the vehicle falls into class N3. Eight wheels on several axles are typical for vehicles of this weight class, safely carrying tipper or tanker bodies with a high dead weight of their own. In the European Union, vehicles of this class are subject to the general 90 km/h speed limit.
When buying such a self-propelled carrier used, what matters most is the condition of the body: tightness and corrosion on tanker bodies, wear on cylinders and bearings on tipper bodies. The frame and axles should be checked for deformation and cracks given the high payload, and the mounting points between body and frame deserve just as close a look as the engine and transmission.
