Advice

The Advantages of a Tilt Cab

The T-Series medium-duty trucks provides the superior manoeuvrability, visibility, serviceability and advanced features you expect from a tilt cab, plus the strength and versatility you expect from a GMC.

Body lengths up to 10.4 m (34 feet) can be accommodated on wheelbases that range up to 660 cm (260 in). Tilt cabs have set-back front axles that can reduce wheelbase length and the vehicle's turning diameter. This alters normal weight distribution and puts more load on the front axle so care should be given to body placement on the chassis.

For any job where improved manoeuvrability is an asset, such as a wrecker, utility service tanker or urban delivery, the T-Series is an obvious choice.
