How to avoid burdening yourself unnecessarily

The Transporter Dropside truck is well thought out from front to rear to help make your work easier. It is available as a single cab with short or long wheelbase, and as a double cab with long wheelbase. A 2-seater front passenger bench seat is standard in all versions. The double cab can take the entire crew – six altogether. It has four doors as standard to give easy access and inside there is a roomy stowage compartment under the 3-seater bench seat.

This model offers a choice of three different load platform sizes plus aluminium dropsides and tailboard (depending on wheelbase and cab version). Easy to operate fasteners give you free access to the load platform on three sides. The special lashing eyes for securing the load can be folded flush with the load platform. A superstructure with tarpaulin plus frame for optimal protection of your load is available as special equipment for all versions.

Helps to lighten your load

The Transporter Dropside truck as a single cab with short wheel- base is particularly manoeuvrable – not of course forgetting its true purpose: to get things moving. It manages this supremely well with ample space for load outside and up to three people inside. If you need a larger load platform, the single cab with long wheelbase is the right vehicle for you.

A robust tarpaulin is available on request as special equipment to protect your load. Alternatively, the low load platform height of the Low-loader makes loading and unloading even easier. One thing applies to each and every model: their many practical and useful features help to lighten your load.

A workplace you will feel at ease in. You deserve no less

Height-adjustable seats or swivelling seats with lumbar support and armrests can be ordered as optional extras. Every driver therefore has an optimal sitting position – particularly since there is a standard height and rake adjustment for the steering wheel. The equipment is rounded off by a conveniently placed joystick gear lever, a clearly arranged instrument panel, and a well thought out storage compartment system featuring plenty of stowage space, a large glove compartment, many integral storage facilities, a cup holder, and more.

An air conditioner is available as an option to create a pleasant atmosphere inside the Transporter. If one front passenger is not enough, a 2-seater front passenger bench seat with integral stowage compartment is available as an option so that there is room for three in the cab.

You receive a call and are on your way– it is therefore reassuring to know that the Transporter has top marks when it comes to safety. With an electronic stabilisation programme (ESP) including brake assist system, anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic differential lock (EDL), and traction control system (TCS) it offers a complete package so that you arrive safely in all weathers. In addition, vehicles with front-wheel drive feature engine braking control (EBC). This prevents the driving wheels breaking away on slippery surfaces when quickly taking your foot off the accelerator, or when reengaging the clutch after changing down.

Airbags for the driver and front passenger are standard, also 3-point inertia reel seat belts on all seats. Two side airbags plus two curtain airbags in the cab are available as options for nearly all vehicle versions. Independent suspension gives very stable roadholding and the supreme engines assure active safety under all load conditions – so that you can take every traffic situation in your stride and arrive at your customers in good shape.
