Scania R620 - Klepp Spesialtransport

This is the new heavy transport tractor of Klepp Spesialtransport from the similar named place (Kleppe) near Stavanger (N).

It is a completely air suspensioned Scania R620 in 8x4 layout with a Highline cab.

They have chosen a 2+2 axle layout because this gives high axle loads in Norway. Both front axles are allowed to have 9 tons each, the rear axles are allowed for 12 tons each.

A 5th axle can be connected to the rear of the chassis, which can also have a load of 12 tons. The long slideable table for the fifth wheel and the complete air suspension provide a good weight distribution on all the axles.

A 3-axled locally built lowloader is connected to the tractor.

The trailer can also be equiped with an extra axle, shown here.

As the right side of the chassis is filled with a dieseltank, the left side is used for the AdBlue tank.

The tower with storage compartments is completely built from stainless steel. The tractor also has trailer hydraulics, which can be seen by the connected hydraulic lines below the normal connections.

The 5th axle is not connected here, that is why the sliding table has to be in the front position to get enough load on the front axles.

The truck doesn’t have a torque converter.
