Mack Trucks is targeting both medium and heavy truck segments with its new Granite Medium Heavy Duty (MHD) 4x2 model for customers demanding a lighter work truck.
Introduced during the 2013 National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, the MHD 4x2, is offered in either medium- or heavy-duty configurations. The MHD 4x2 is available now for order.
Equipped with a Cummins ISL9 345 horsepower engine with a maximum torque rating of 1,150 lb.-ft. A clean back-of-cab design helps the MHD 4x2 accommodate a wide variety of body options, including those required for utility, dump and municipal applications. The short bumper-to-tire distance offers front-end swing clearance and superior wheel cut – key for navigating tight turns in municipalities and construction sites.
The galvanized steel cab of the MHD 4x2 is mounted on airbags and shocks so the driver stays comfortable during the workday. The MACK® Cornerstone™ chassis, built of high-strength steel alloy for a stronger, lighter frame, is offered in four frame rail thicknesses ranging from 7 mm to 11.1 mm.
