• Robust first and foremost
Uniquely for this kind of truck, the M series are fitted with a solid bloc chassis that is perfectly able to withstand the effects from twisting on rough terrain, with a suspended cab that protects the driver from vibrations, with a steerable rear oscillating axle to give easy maneuvering on muddy ground and a load absorber as standard to protect the load from damage on difficult ground.

are powerful and fitted with a Perkins 1104 C 44 engine that complies with the EURO 2
standard. Its 4 direct injection cylinders develop 84 hp / 61.5 kW at a nominal engine speed
of 2200 rpm; combined with the torque converter transmission the operator is able to
choose a travelling gear on stable ground or engine torque for traction on unstable ground
(4-speed gearbox).

Popular for their extraordinary ability to drive over obstacles and their ground-holding in muddy conditions, the M trucks with capacities from 2.6 T to 5 T can carry out a variety of duties in complete safety. Designed to give optimum stability, with a wide gauge that can handle long loads in complete safety; with high ground clearance and with wide diameter wheels at the front to cross obstacles more easily, good weight distribution over the axles and a hydraulic differential lock system (optional on the 4-wheel drive) to control the truck under all conditions.

• Extra comfort
The spacious enclosed cab with tinted glass fitted as standard, heating, comfortable adjustable seat, efficient dashboard with control lights, and a system that automatically locks the doors open to give ventilation in hot weather mean that the operator can work effectively in all weathers. In addition there are the advantages of the ergonomically designed controls placed within easy reach, and of
increased safety given by the exceptional visibility round the mast and on the sides of the truck which enable the driver to see his load and surroundings
