Iveco Sivi Trakker 540 8x6 with WSK

Definitely the most interesting Sivi on the yard was this one.

It’s a version with 540 hp, a WSK440 torque converter and 8x6 driveline! The engine is a Cursor 13, a 12,9 liter 6-cylinder  which delivers 2350 Nm torque.

A better view at the bumper to which a heavy coupling is mounted. The air connections for the trailer are mounted below. The truck can be used as a pusher when it is equiped with a ballast box.

The side view shows the longer wheelbase, caused by the 8x6 driveline. A Steyr dropbox is mounted between the front axle and the tandem. Base vehicle is a 6x6 with leaf springs which becomes an additional air suspended front axle.

Detailed view of the tower. This side has the muffler and the spare tyre. On the chassis, directly behind the tower, they mounted a heavy winch. It is mounted to the chassis with 4 twistlocks and is demountable.

This side of the tower has the dieseltank. On top of that are the extra coolers. The front coolers is a 2nd radiator for the engine, behind that stands oil-air cooler for the WSK. The hydraulic cooling fan provides enough cool air.

The space between the axles is filled with toolboxes.

The Sivi was connected to a 8-axled Cometto moduletrailer with a isolated steel box that can carry steel at high temperatures. By the way, Battaza owns 2 of these 8x6 tractors.

MAN FE 460 A 8x2 - Effer 1150 - 6S

Besides heavy transport Battazza also operates a few cranes. Among them is this MAN FE 460 A 8x2.

It is equiped with an Effer 1150 in the 6S version.

It is probably used mainly for machinery movements, as it doesn’t has a jib.
