Mammoet for sale

Only two of these were built, this one with the V8 580, the other one was fitted with a P-cab with lowered roof and had a 470 under the bonnet.

Despite what most people think, the unit pictured was “only” plated for 180t and didn’t had a torque converter, but the standard 12- speed gearbox. The main reason to built a 12x4 was to reduce the need for a jeep- or interdolly, but in practice it proved really difficult to get permits for it, as a lot of countries just didn’t acknowledge this setup. The 10x4 setup was more favoured.
