The TK 46 H is driven by a six-cylinder engine and stands on four wheels, with a wheelbase of 3,830 mm and a width of 2,050 mm. The vehicle weighs 2,640 kg empty, with a gross vehicle weight of 4,763 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 4,763 kg the TK 46 H falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 2,123 kg of payload margin, almost the entire kerb weight again as cargo, which was common for light load carriers of that era and points to use with variable cargo rather than permanently mounted equipment. The six-cylinder engine on a comparatively short wheelbase of 3,830 mm suits a nimble chassis for urban and regional traffic rather than long-haul work.
Buying such an old chassis second-hand, checking the frame for corrosion and the riveted joints comes first, since welded construction was not yet fully established at the time. The six-cylinder engine calls for a check of compression, the distributor and the carburettor, and the mechanical brakes should be checked for play in the linkages, since this early design is more sensitive to wear than later hydraulic systems.
