Scania’s truck is 18.5m in total length and was specially commissioned
Swedish truck manufacturer Scania says that the chassis for Zoomlion and Cifa’s Pump 101 truck is the largest it has ever built.
To carry the weight of the 7-section boom, a 7-axle chassis was designed and built by Scania in Södertälje, Sweden.
The 15.5m chassis was specially commissioned to Swedish company Laxå Special Vehicles and the truck is powered by a 620 hp V8-engine.
Scania says that in order to ensure high uptime, Scania China has trained personnel at Zoomlion’s own service workshops and has also established special teams of service technicians that can assist in the event of operational disruptions.
Altogether this very special vehicle is 18.5m long. An exceptional feature is the fact that the pump structure is mounted on a “normal” truck chassis, not on a special vehicle, which means that it plies with the maximum dimensions and footprints imposed for road transport.
Scania has delivered trucks to Zoomlion since 2008. The truck chassis have been increasingly customised to facilitate and streamline Zoomlion’s work of fitting superstructures.
“Scania’s strong position as a supplier of trucks to the premium segment for concrete pumps represents a success for our entire organisation’s cross-functional working method,” said Peter Sjöblom, Managing Director of Scania China.
