Wecon, based in Ascheberg in Westphalia, builds special bodies on heavy truck chassis. This collective page covers models outside the named ranges, including vehicles under the in-house codes MA and MPR as well as one vehicle designated XF 480, pointing to a DAF XF chassis with a 480 hp engine as its base.

The register lists four variants here with six-cylinder engines of 9,291 to 12,902 cm³ displacement, kerb weights from 9,665 to 13,151 kg, gross vehicle weights from 18,100 to 26,000 kg, lengths from 9,990 to 10,150 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm; one vehicle has a recorded engine output of 302 kW.

Bodybuilders such as Wecon fit special vehicles for municipal and commercial customers onto standard truck chassis, for example roll-off tippers, crane bodies or workshop bodies; the wide spread in displacement and weight results from the mix of differently sized base chassis within this collective page, ranging from medium-duty to heavy long-haul platforms.

When buying a used special-bodied vehicle of this class, the condition of the hydraulics, the hook-lift or crane mechanism and corrosion on load-bearing body parts matter most; on the chassis, brakes, axles and gearbox should be checked. Parts for the base chassis are available through the regular truck service network, body parts through the manufacturer itself.
