acco butterbox

Hi all can somebody please tell me what tare weight butterbox has a double chassis rails cheers

Greetings. Just had a quick look through Nev's Acco brochures- weights vary a bit, couldn't see a mention of double rail but for a 4 x 2 is 25000 to 27250 lbs and for 6 x 4 is 37000 lbs. It would have to vary a bit depending on engine- petrol or Greta's favorite- the diesel . That's about all I have, Pete

From the few brochures i have, the average tare weight of a single drive cab chassis is around 3.53 tonnes. This varies a bit depending on wheelbase, and what engine is fitted.

The rego papers for my Perkins powered single drive tipper state the tare as 4.8 tonnes.

Brochures From Overlander.

My 1968, 1840 butterbox with 6.2m tray single drive Perkins, is 5.05 tare on the rego papers.

Hi all. Learn something new every day , I had a acco when I was 19 and I thought it was d 1820 had a lazy fitted and 9metre tipper. Had a powerful Perkins and t 34 ? 5 speed (soon chucked that out and fitted a 16o and rt 610 and changed brakes to air made a great truck out of it at the time 84s were still running interstate pulling boogies spreads back to story) I always thought 1840 accos was boogies yet sarges is a 1840 ? Mine was getting close to end of them 1972 wish I still had it Kelvin

ACCOD-1820 = diesel + single drive

ACCODT-1820 = diesel + lazy axle

ACCO-1840 = petrol + single drive

ACCOF-1840 = petrol + bogie drive

ACCODF-1840 = diesel + bogie drive

Hi 180 how are you? No it was a d1820 it had a bpw transpec lazy fitted by the body builder. I guess a dt 1820 was that rectangular box Adair inters had for there lazy Adler trucks
