Default Hiab Multilift MV

Good day fellows,

https://www.mascus.ca/trucks-and-tra...nudBL72mfSPtM8

Curious about this truck in the link provided, Can anyone tell me more about the series of truck this is mounted upon?

I am looking for this type of unit, and this is the first one i have come across in this new of a year range, the completeness of the CHU system as well as the over all truck is very nice.

Does anyone know what countries have this Mercedes Benz in service?

Thanks in advance, Gerry

Gerry,
Unless you particularly want the Mercedes, the Multilift system was used by the British Army on Leyland-DAF and Foden chassis' and all were Left Hand Drive. Here is a video of one in operation;

Pallet loading system trucks and hooks are used in industry. Think about all the companies that offer dumpsters and bins, etc. While this is a military vehicle page ----- sometimes a civilian one is easier to keep running.
