Sisu M-162

The register lists 5 versions here with 261 to 294 kW from a six-cylinder engine of 11,100 to 14,000 cm³ displacement, kerb weights from 8,920 to 10,600 kg, gross vehicle weights from 22,000 to 27,000 kg, and lengths from 8,150 to 10,500 mm with widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.

With gross weights up to 27,000 kg, the M-162 ranks among the heavy three-axle chassis for construction and heavy-haulage work as well as timber transport, a market segment where Sisu has traditionally held its own niche in Finland alongside international makes such as Scania, Volvo and MAN.

For a used example, check the chassis and axles for corrosion and wear, clutch and gearbox condition, air brake system operation on all three axles, and the tightness of hydraulics and fittings from the respective body builder; parts run through Sisu and Finnish commercial workshops.
