ITALERI 1/24 G TRUCK FREIGHTLINER HEAVY DUMPER
RUBBER TYRES – CHROME PARTS
“Freightliner Trucks”, a historic US company from Portland that operates on the industrial vehicle market, now owned by the automotive giant Daimler, is mainly known for being among the leading manufacturers of tractor units used for road transport by road. However, it is also important to remember the diffusion and success, over time, of Freightliners dedicated to “heavy duty” uses. The market for “quarry-construction” vehicles saw strong growth in the late ’70s and early ’80s, impacting the production volumes of the main truck and heavy vehicle manufacturers. Freightliner designers have worked on the most suitable technical solutions to meet the needs of the construction market: reinforced chassis and rear axles for greater load resistance, folding platforms characterized by great resistance, engines and transmissions optimized for demanding loads and steep climbs.
