Freightliner Trucks, Portland, Ore., highlighted its line of vocational Class 6-8 trucks at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2005 earlier this year.
The latest model in the company’s vocational line is the Business Class M2 106V (Circle 921), a truck the company says is designed for specialized applications that require heavy-duty front-end stability and power and is ideal for snowplow and crane operations, along with construction, agriculture, fire, emergency, refuse, utility and municipal and governmental services.
The 106V has a front engine power take-off for powering snowplows, refuse packers, cranes and utility equipment. Front frame extensions, offering up to 3.7 million in.-lb of RBM, provide a solid mounting point for hydraulic pumps, winches, front stabilizers and snowplows. These integral frame extensions are available in 6-, 12- and 24-in. increments.
