Description | specification

The ex.Military 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...

The basic form of the TM 6x6 is a flat bed cargo vehicle capable of carrying standard NATO ammunition or other stores-carrying pallets.

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.

Drop sides and a tailgate can be added to convert the vehicles into general load carriers. Seating for personnel may also be fitted, however these heavy trucks are usually found moving NATO standard pallets, containers or fuel.
Centrally-mounted winches are mounted on some vehicles.

The body length of the TM 6x6 is approx 21ft.
