This Scania R340 is a flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a flat-deck or platform truck — designed to carry open loads that cannot or need not be enclosed, making it suitable for a wide range of haulage tasks including construction materials, machinery, and oversized freight. Scania is a well-established Swedish manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy commercial vehicles for road transport, logistics, and industrial applications worldwide.
This 2009 example is powered by a 340 hp engine and is fitted with a 3-pedal Opti-Cruise automated gearbox, which combines the fuel efficiency and ease of an automated transmission with the option of manual clutch control — a configuration that contributes to the reportedly smooth and comfortable drive noted by the seller. The cab is a sleeper unit with a low-height profile, making it practical for drivers covering longer routes while keeping the overall vehicle height manageable.
The flatbed body measures 25 feet in length, providing a generous load platform. The truck is currently taxed at 15 tonnes, though it is capable of operating at up to 18 tonnes gross weight. A drawbar hitch is fitted, allowing the truck to tow a drawbar trailer and extend its load-carrying versatility further.
Tyres are 295/60 R22.5 all round and are reported to be at approximately 75% remaining tread depth across the set, indicating a reasonable amount of useful life remaining. This used flatbed truck is located in the United Kingdom and is offered at $8,000.
