    Yes. Brackets mounted behind the sleeper are for storing load locks in place.

    Hello mate .
    I use to have a 2014 / 580 by the past and it was a good truck and friend of mine bought the same but 520 HP ....that one wasn't good at all for fuel ! ( and doing the same fridge businees) .
    Please to watch you again soon.
    Greetings from Brittany.

    Another great video Stravros. These walk around videos are brilliant for people who might be involved in freight etc but from a completely different area. Really interesting to see the Trailers and the build quality. Keep them coming.

  • @Dimitrius001
    @Dimitrius001 7 месяцев назад

    I have similar brackets on the back of my truck here in the U.S. We use them for holding those tubular telescoping cargo braces (they are used in solid wall trailers, not sure how common those are in Ireland) push-brooms for sweeping out the trailer, things like that. I haven't seen one holding a ladder, but it probably could be done.

    When the fridge handle cover breaks off which most do… just push the metal bar quite hard and pull the top of the door down at the same time…

  • @InvictaView
    @InvictaView 7 месяцев назад

    Nice one Stavros. I guess its what is available that decides this buy. Sounds OK though, and maybe not led a hard life with less that 60,000 km p.a.
    Another good buy, if the V8 is not important, would be a S500 orcsimilar, with the DC13 6cyl. You get the S spec. flat floor cab. Well worth having over the R cab I.m.o. 👍💯🇬🇧😉

  • @seamushorgan4498
    @seamushorgan4498 7 месяцев назад +1

    That for load bars at the back of the cab

  • @stuntvist
    @stuntvist 7 месяцев назад

    Probably just needs and alignment and a good, thorough clean to be just like new. The fridge just needs a new handle (which you can probably get from a wrecked truck) and the A pillar one likely just needs to be tightened somewhere. I'd also put clear UV blocking tint on the windows just so the sun destroys the interior less and maybe I'm a bit overly paranoid about skin cancer lol.
    35L/100km and AP definitely suggests to me that someone was whipping that thing around like a sports car. You have to put in genuine effort to get fuel economy that bad in those.

    Aahhh V8 with EGR & VGT. Some people like it, some people don't. They have their own sound characteristics.

    Nice second hand truck from o'tooles. They probably won't send out older trucks thst don't have warranty on them. Breakdowns can be expensive in Europe.

    Hi Stavros matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 first thing first the little red kids car parked in the car park is that what you came into work in today haha lol 😆😆👍👍 as for the older Scania R520 V8 it's a nice looking truck and i think that's the better looking Scania really because you can customise them up better than the Scania next generation. I know other privately owned truck drivers who have got the older 2009 upto 2013/14 scania's and they prefer them to the next generation Scania trucks and they are not going to sell the older Scania trucks. Great RUclips video Stavros matey 👍 keep up the great work and keep your RUclips videos coming out please thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍👍 don't forget to go home in your little red kids car haha lol 😆👍👍 thanks from mark 👍

    What gear ratios do you run in the rear-ends there?

    • @ajidamarjati
      @ajidamarjati 7 месяцев назад

      This is only my guess. But i think the truck equipped with GRSO905 gearbox (overdrive 12th gear) + R780 Scania Axle with 2.92 diff ratio.

    That trailer floor/subfloor looks really fragile, atleast comparing to how trailers are built in NZ/Aus. 37 litres not too bad… my average is 46 😊

  • @johnbell6854
    @johnbell6854 7 месяцев назад

    I don’t think you have been impressed by the 580 and I have ran Schmitz trailers for years we bought a euro liner in 2004 and ran it for 15 years the floor was never a problem but the back doors started to warble but overall a good to use trailer
