NISSAN QUON 20 YARD DUMP TRUCK
20 YARD DUMP TRUCK
Description
The Nissan Diesel / UD Quon (specifically the CW-series 6×4 rigid platform) is a severe-duty heavy commercial tipper engineered to handle massive aggregate transport, demolition hauling, and heavy infrastructure logistics. Outfitted with a premium, reinforced 20-cubic-yard high-tensile steel dump body, this 10-wheel workhorse is highly favored for its exceptional chassis structural resilience, long-term powertrain durability, and excellent fuel efficiency under heavy loads.
The heart of this truck is the legendary 13.0-liter GE13-series inline 6-cylinder engine. This electronically controlled diesel powerhouse utilizes an advanced Unit Injector System (UIS) and a variable-geometry turbocharger (VGT) to deliver massive, flat low-end torque. This allows the truck to pull a fully loaded 20-yard payload out of deep, unpaved excavation pits and up steep quarry ramps without bogging down.
Built to survive punishing jobsite drops from large excavators, the Quon features a high-rigidity, cold-riveted ladder frame paired with a heavy-duty multi-leaf trunnion bogie suspension. The driver’s cabin is designed to maximize safety and reduce fatigue on rough haul roads, featuring a fully floating cab isolation system, an ergonomic wrap-around dashboard, and UD's signature wide-view mirror array to minimize blind spots on active jobsites.
