Scania enters the ring with a heavyweight contender for the mining and heavy construction industries that will immediately go for knock. Weighing in at an exceptional Gross Vehicle Weight of 69 tonnes, the Scania G 540 10×4/6 XT Heavy Tipper will substantially reduce costs and increase productivity for operators in these businesses. With the G 540 10×4, Scania expands its XT Heavy Tipper range and complements the 6×4 for a Gross Vehicle Weight of 47 tonnes and the 8×4 for a GVW of 58 tonnes. The latest Heavy Tipper boosts the GVW to 69 tonnes.

This outstanding heavyweight is equipped with an air-sprung, steered pusher axle in front of the rear bogie.

The entire Heavy Tipper range is characterised by the fact that the gearbox and propeller shaft supports higher torque, the greater strength of the differential and hub reduction, which provide an unmatched maximum traction capacity of up to 210 tonnes. To support higher loads, the entire suspension, springs, anti-roll bar and shock absorbers, has been reinforced.
