Scania R164G-580 - LBC Eslöv

In Augustus 2004 Lastbilcentralen Eslöv got this new Scania R164G-580 tractor.

The tractor was converted in Sweden from a 8x4 to a 10x4. The extra liftable and steerable rear axle comes from BPW. The conversion has been done by “Göteborgs Lastbils Komplettering AB” from Göteborg.

The tractor has a allowed gross weight of 57 tonnes. The axle loads are then: 9-9-13-13-13 tonnes.
Allowed total vehicle weight is 105 tonnes. The tractors own weight is about 15 tonnes.

All the wheel covers are made from stainless steel. At the back the chassis are 2 hydraulic cilinders. These are there to support the goose neck when it is disconnected. I saw this system a lot in Sweden and Norway, in the rest of Europe they usualy place these cilinders in the goose neck itself.

Behind the cab are 2 toolboxes, between them are the diesel- and hydraulic tank.

The tractor is equiped with a cardanic fifth wheel. Remarkable is that it is mounted deeper into the chassis so that the height of the wheel is lower than that of a normal cardanic unit.
