MAN TGA dumpers: overview and specification of the 40.480 series

It's no secret that any construction company that wants to increase its productivity level must have a powerful and reliable special equipment. According to many companies, one of these reliable dump trucks is German MAN TGA trucks of the 40.480 series. This reliable special equipment, intended for transportation of loose building materials, will never fail its firm at the most unpredictable moment. But immediately I want to note that MAN TGA dump trucks have a cost of 100 thousand (and more) euros, so if you are the owner of a private company, buying such a vehicle can hit hard on your wallet. In this article we will consider what a German motor-car manufacturer offers to its customers for such a price, whether this acquisition will be unprofitable.

Cabin

MAN TGA dump trucks , like tractors, have several options for decorating the cab. This can be a compact variation of the series M or L or spacious versions of XL with a high ceiling. Differences between them is only in excess free space (and, of course, in price), and the driver will be comfortable in any of the above cabs. For the convenience of the carrier there is everything, from the climate control system and ending with comfortable leather seats on air bags. Among the little things worth noting the presence of regular light bulbs for reading documentation at night and sun visor. Separately, it is worth highlighting the presence of an informative on-board computer, which, by the way, works in Russian.

As you know, the construction season takes place in the hot summer period, but sometimes there are cases when it becomes necessary to transport the cargo in a 20-degree frost. For such unexpected situations, the manufacturer has provided for the driver an independent heating system Eberspaecher, which quickly heats the cabin at the first push of a button.

MAN (tipper): technical specifications

All trucks of the TGA model, including the 40.480 series, are equipped with powerful, economical and environmentally friendly engines. Sometimes our drivers call them "millionaires", and all because of the extended service life, which is equal to one million kilometers. If we calculate, then only after a stressful 20-year use, MAN TGA dumpers will require major engine repairs, and during this period the car will have time to pay off several times. And now let's move on to the numbers. The buyer is provided with a wide range of engines, among which you can choose units with an environmental standard EURO-2 with a capacity of 360 to 400 horsepower, as well as a Euro-3 line with a capacity of 350 to 480 "horses." With regard specifically to the 40.480 series, it is equipped with a powerful 480-horsepower motor and a 16-speed transmission. Thanks to this engine, MAN TGA 40.480 dumpers are able to transport loads weighing up to 25 tons at a speed of 60-90 kilometers per hour. With such an engine, "MANU" is definitely not afraid of severe Russian conditions.

Conclusion

As you can see, MAN (dumper), the price for which starts at a mark of 100 thousand euros, is a very reliable and comfortable car. And if you need a non-slaughtering machinery that will function reliably for two decades, the purchase of such a truck is the most sensible solution.
