Zwaans Other models

The register lists 3 versions with a six-cylinder engine, kerb weights of 16,328 to 18,670 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 21,670 kg and widths of 2,460 to 2,500 mm.

With a kerb weight of over 16 tonnes against a gross weight of around 21.7 tonnes, only a comparatively small payload margin remains between kerb and gross weight, typical of heavy special chassis with their own body. Such a small difference between kerb and gross weight is not unusual on chassis with a heavy body, for example for crane, tanker or tipper applications.

When buying a used heavy special vehicle of this kind, check the condition of the frame and axles given the high kerb weight, the braking system in view of the small remaining payload, corrosion on the chassis and body, and the mileage of the six-cylinder engine. It is also worth checking the condition of the connection points between chassis and body and any adaptation of the braking system to the heavy body.
