Adelaide Iveco, one of Iveco’s dealers in Australia, has unveiled one of the country’s first S-Way tippers developed with North East Engineering, the dealership’s in-house bodybuilding facility. Built on the 6×4 460 AT platform, the tipper is equipped with a 5.1m hydraulic tipping body alongside an electric tarp, which delivers 460hp and a GCM of 55 tonnes.
While S-Way prime mover and rigid models have become popular across a range of general freight applications since their release, their versatile specifications also mean the models are ideal for tipper and dog work, prompting Adelaide Iveco to embark on the build.
The S-Way features a 460hp / 2,150Nm Euro 6 (Step E) engine that’s matched to the market-leading Hi-Tronix 12-speed automated manual transmission. Braking comes courtesy of ventilated disc brakes all round with Electronic Braking System, Anti-Lock Braking System, ESC, Anti-Skid Regulator and Hill Holder. Equipment such as standard rear differential cross locks and optional hydraulic retarder further equip the model to handle the requirements of high payload applications, particularly on muddy work sites.
“With 460hp and a GCM of 55 tonnes, the S-Way makes an ideal base for a tough yet comfortable tipper combination that delivers strong productivity. The truck has already received a lot of interest from existing and prospective customers, and we see this spec model being at home working in Tier 1 civil construction or more basic earthmoving roles. We can also work more closely with owners to customize the truck to do exactly what they need and the application at hand.”
said Northeast Auto Group Sales Executive, Hayden Ramsay.
To provide prospective S-Way owners with additional value and lower total cost of ownership, the S-Way range comes with the complementary ‘EasyRoad’ maintenance program, covering scheduled user manual maintenance for 12 months or 150,000 kilometers.
Operators running larger fleets can also benefit from 5 years of free IVECO Telematics, which offers a range of advanced tracking, driver monitoring, safety, theft and general vehicle performance data.
