Your empty weight?

When you look at the weight of the truck. That is on the door jam. Is that weight close? Or just a guess from the factory? Looked at a W900 and it had a weight of 16.580 on the door jam. This was the 60 something " Mid roof, 12.7, 10 speed and 34000 rears.

The Mack RD822sx you see in my avatar, 20K front, 65K rears, triple frame, is right at 28K for just the truck.

 

normally thats with out fluids.

 

Company that Used to work for. Their largest wrecker then was 84k and limited storage. Had a 3500 chevy to follow it with enclosed body for the equipment.

 

Columbia 1/2 full 140 gallons, and utility reefer full 50 gallons, 33,500 most of the time. Have loaded 45,500 of potatoes on the floor but it's tricky to scale.

 

Heavy one.

 

It's a strictly heavy haul truck. It's right on the boarder line of being considered a prime mover. You could do general hauling with it I guess but it red-lines right at 65mph. I don't even like to drive it empty to the job, preferring to haul it to the job when we can if it's a long distance.

 

Exactly what is prime mover? Is it only in Australia?

 

I don’t know if it’s a official term, but we call a prime mover a truck that normally hauls really heavy loads slowly. Quite often it pulls the trailer by drawbar, as with a Goldhofer type setup. They are built for brute strength, not for traveling Hwy speeds or any concen for fuel mileage.
