Complimentary to the TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX trucks, the smaller-sized TGE completes the construction vehicle assortment at the lower end of the weight spectrum and repre- sents the MAN name among light commer- cial vehicles. With its robust backbone, ultra- modern drive and professional double cabin, the agile TGE platform chassis appears an almost mandatory candidate for any vehicle leet. Supplying construction sites with much vigour, the spacious six-seater may also serve as an accommodating retreat for breaks. Pro- fessional services are provided by the MAN organisation, which truly makes all the differ- ence in daily operations. Customers can therefore rely on MAN for all their construc- tion vehicle needs, ranging from three to Workhorse: Running with up to 40 tonnes, the three-axle dumper truck can pull as much as 70 tonnes. 40 tonnes total weight, and even beyond. excellent choice: the step up is low, and in dai- ly operations, each centimetre matters.
