I'm starting to think these big tandem axle service trucks are just getting a bit ridiculous. Neat to look at but not sure how in the heck you'd ever get it in and out of 75% of job sites. I wonder if it's got a break room. http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=6440053
But it already has almost 400k miles, must be good at something!
I wonder if they con no longer use it in California due to CARB regulations, hence the sale.
Sounds like a new build on an used chassis. Why in the world would any one build it on a discontinued chassis that parts are already getting hard to find for. Body/cab parts are already non-exsistant around here.
That looks mostly a lube and fuel truck. Those are all tandem.
For a lube and fuel, I would expect more than 600 gallons of diesel capacity, but it has 5 200 gallon lube tanks, and a 30 cfm air compressor and a 14k lb crane. That is a lot of money for used parts cobbled together. Howard
Theres 1800 gallons of fluid capacity. 600 + 6x200
Maybe an Uncle Pete's Rabbit Ranch truck? Would only be good for highway truckin' fer sure, 10-4?
Sounds like the grease monkey's truck. 5 oil tanks for AW 46 and 32, Cat SAE30 and 10, and 15w-40. Enough fuel to top most any machine off during the day, and a crane for loading/unloading pretty much anything you're going to do in the field. I could name several contractors right here in ND that could easily use everything on this truck efficiently. Definitely overkill for a lot of guys for sure though.
I ran a very similar truck for a couple years. Its big but effective and if you want the crane and a reasonable payload capacity then you need the tandem axle.
