Three vehicle classes
Which vehicle class suits your access platform?
Start with the weight and dimensions of the machines you want to carry at the same time. The chassis and fitted equipment determine the available payload.
- Machine weight and transport dimensions (length, width and height)
- Existing or proposed truck chassis
- Machine ground clearance and requirements for ramps, winch and load securing
| Vehicle class | Approx. payload |
|---|---|
| 32 t | approx. 19 t |
| 26 t | approx. 14 t |
| 18 t | approx. 8.5 t |
One example is the GEFAS body on a 32 tonne MAN chassis. This configuration has a payload of approximately 18 tonnes, hydraulic loading ramps and a winch.

Dimensions and configuration.
Low-profile construction and a sloping rear provide a shallow loading angle. We will match the dimensions and usable length to the chosen chassis.
Specifications from the general body description · as at 10 November 2026. The specific configuration will be defined in the order.
| Maximum length, depending on chassis | up to 9,400 mm |
|---|---|
| Usable length, depending on chassis | up to 9,000 mm |
| Width | 2,550 mm |
| Height as specified in the body description | 120 mm |
| Deck height, depending on chassis | 1,000–1,070 mm |
| Height in wheel well area, 4-axle chassis | 950 mm |
| Rear frame slope | 7° |
