Heavy haulage. Chassis appears to be an 8x8.   Fleet number on the cab. Equipment tower with bespoke cabinets. Towing hitch at the rear. Moderate steering angle.. This is a model of the Mammoet Mercedes-Benz Arocs 8x6 with a Ballast Box.  It is in the colours of Mammoet. Packaging The model comes in a high quality box enclosed by a Mammoet-branded sleeve with a photo of the real real truck.  Inside the box the model is held in high quality foam. The review model had no missing parts or defects. A uniquely numbered Mammoet certificate is also included, but there is no information about the real truck.  Detail The Arocs has a detailed chassis which is actually an 8x8 rather than an 8x6 as on the real truck. The transmission components are modelled and the tyres are different on the steering and driven axles. The wheels are very detailed and the hubs are highlighted in red.  The cab roof has an LED light bar. The Arocs grille is impressive and it has a fixed Bred last sign and there is a realistic number plate.  The many graphics are very sharp and there is a fleet number on the cab.  There is a towing point at the front although no pin is supplied. Behind the cab there is a big equipment tower which has a large see-through grille on one side, and there are bespoke cabinets with coiled lines. Diamond plated surfaces are in front of the fifth wheel. At the rear the lights have lenses and the mud flaps have graphics.  The ballast box is metal and the graphics are sharp. Features The Arocs has moderate good steering movement.  The cab tilts to a good angle and reveals a detailed engine. The ballast box can be fitted, or left off. Quality This is a high quality model with a high metal content.  The paint finish and graphics are excellent.  Price It is moderate value. Overall This is a very good looking model of the Arocs heavy tractor.  It is odd that the chassis is different from the real truck but that is not a visible issue in most normal poses. Footnotes The model appeared in June 2026 and was made in a run of 600 models.   Parts and Certificate. Highlighted wheel arches. Realistic license plate.   Simple metal ballast box.   Profile view.
