Editor, Heavy CVs Burry Tiavis, the editor of the Heavy Commercial edition of the Red Book .says: "MAN's 26.284 is as good as any six-wheel tipper in the market. With an alloy body it gives a good payload as it has one of the lightest chassis around.
"The driveline is reliable.The engine is powerful enough for a 26-tonner and eight main gears are OK for this type of operation—there are plenty of models that manage with six. The cab is a bit small and quite basic. It's an urban tipper with few frills, but that's what a lot of tipper operators say that they want.
"You might expect to see more of them about but actually they are thin on the ground. Prices start at about £21,000 for a 1999 6x4 models on an S-plate."
