The introduction of the Wheelbase Engineering Limited third axle, midlift installation provides Scania with the opportunity to offer an ideal vehicle for hook-lift operation at 23000kgs.

The engineering of the Scania P310 DB 4X2 HNZ, supplied by West Pennine Trucks Limited of Manchester, with a wheelbase of 5700 mm incorporates a mid-lift third axle, on drum brakes and 295/80RX22.5 single wheels and tyres, positioned 1315mm forward of the existing drive axle position.
