| Kerb weight, tractorStandard version; depends on equipment. Empty axle loads 6,400 kg front and 4,500 kg rear. Earlier: about 10,900, derived in the report (avs) | 10900 kg | ↗ ↗ ↗ |
| Payload, with a standard trailerSANY's own example (electrive, 4 June 2026): up to 25.2 t with a Kögel Light Plus curtainsider at 42 t | 25,160 nominal; 23,140 when a load filling a 13.6 m semi-trailer is centred, to keep the drive axle under 11,500 kg (a 2 t penalty) t | ↗ |
