Description | specification

The Bedford TM 6x6 is a very strong truck with much to offer. The gear box is a ZF unit that coupled with the rear boggie unit and the lockable diffs, this makes for a truck that can get in and out of most obstacles, ideal for carrying cargo or for mounting drill rigs etc...

For this role both vehicles can be fitted with self-loading hydraulic cranes located behind the cab. Standard shelters or workshop bodies may also be carried.
