Seems like typical German engineering overkill.
.

Note! TOP TRUCK RARE PIECE FROM 1. To sell HAND! ONLY 115500 KM!!! Ruestiges, versatile applicable special vehicle of the type RUTHMANN hp 875 with Daimler Benz -Triebkopf! The loading area is steplessly hydraulically raisable up to the soil lowerable (simple loading with elevating truck platform, ant, stacker...) and/or up to a height of approx. 1,60m (ramp/truck to truck loading, etc..)!!! First and only owner of the LKW's was a district hospital! There the vehicle was used to the transport of laundry etc.. They offer here thus on no worn forwarding business vehicle and also on no "building ruin"! The vehicle was shut down by the district hospital temporarily 09.12.2003.

Since then it was used by us only to some few transportation with red characteristics. In order to eliminate all doubts of technical kind, the truck at 15.11.2005 the TUEV NORTH was demonstrated for the main investigation/investigation after § 21 StVZO! In the investigation report under "small lack" only one noted: "windscreen wiper blades used up/damages". Of course in the course of the doing V investigation also the exhaust investigation was again accomplished! HU and OUTER ONE thus NEW and valid until NOVEMBER 2006! Here einigeTECHNISCHE DATA according to vehicle registration: # vehicle and kind of structure: Trucks tarpaulin and Spriegel/elevating truck platform # vehicle manufacturer: Ruthmann # type and execution: Hp 875 # drive system: DIESEL # achievement: 63 KW # capacity: 3758 ccm # maximum speed: 89 km/h # of seats: 03 # mass over everything: L 7,650m B 2,500m H 2,720m # of weights: Unloaded weight 4870kg - permissible total weight 7490kg - pay load 2620kg EQUIPMENT: # triebkopf "Daimler Benz L 608 D" with elevated and lowerable loading area "Ruthmann hp 875" # front seat passenger double seat bank (3-Sitzer) # 5-Gang-Getriebe with insertable auxiliary drive # power steering # compressed air brake # driver's seat "ISRI" with weight attitude # roof hatch # EEC travel writer # hour meter # standheizung "Eberspaecher, type D7W" with electronic time switch clock - function not examined, however heat exchanger renews in 12/2000 # auxiliary headlight in the back above # operation of the stroke mechanism in the driving cab and outside # lademass inside: L 5,10m B 1,76m H 2,08m (centric)/2,02m (outside) # on-board wall height 1,20m with Zurrleisten on the left and on the right # tail gate as ramp from aluminum serrated sheet, approx. 1,82m broad and 1,25m highly # lockable tool tools at the front wall of the loading area (mass approx. 1,76m broad, 0,72m highly and approx. 0,40m deeply), easily damages CONDITION:

The entire technology is by obviously the small extent of utilization of the LKW's in a good condition. The truck jumps always on push of a button without pre-heating on (direct A splashes), lies well on the road, brakes outstanding and can by the power steering simply be directed! The engines of this Mercedes series are well-known with good care for run achievements beyond 750000 km. Complete hydraulics of the Ruthmann structure is! The operation is very easy and the technology functioned protruding! The interior of the operator's cab is in a tidy condition - for a commercial motor vehicle only little normal customs traces are present - evenly NO dirty "building car"! Also the loading area exhibits only moderate customs traces and is not not worn! Only the tarpaulin saw already better times - it fulfilled still their purpose, has however div. Tears. Several times torn the tarpaulin is in the back right (see pictures), a 15cm-Riss also in front right and 20cm in front left lateral. From the 41 attachment eyes 7 is peeled off... the plan rack could at little expenditure still over up to further 1,28m (4m overall height to consider) be increased, should times more load height be necessary.

The lacquer finish suffered no Durchrostungen over the years a little and it gives at the driving cab little edge rust, e.g. at the left wheel arch or the left rear cab corner, however. Corrosion beginning gibt's naturally also at the Ruthmann structure, in particular, where this is lowered on plaster - however also here no Durchrostungen. However before not too long time obviously the exhaust was renewed! Thus altogether all no "disasters" and with a commercial motor vehicle of this age stand for stop always times lacquer preservation work on... The tyre shows in front still over 80%, at the rear left approx.. 30% and right approx.. 50% profile. All in all thus a rarely practical truck in a technically good condition - immediately operational for 1001 purposes! Competition lot little km!!! Again suendhaft expensively! Mobile with old telex class the 3 it solves nearly each transport/shipping problem! ENTER, DRIVING OFF AND MONEY EARNING! In this connection I ask to place by mail or better under 0172-4559998 questions and agree upon an inspection date, so that you can make yourselves locally an impression of the vehicle. Naturally also an extensive test run is possible and desired. Thus: BEFORE AUCTION END ask, visit, rehearse-drive. AFTER AUCTION END NONE NACHVERHANDELN! So-called "Spassbieter" keeps itself away please, because: The maximumoffering closes a valid sales contract with its requirement. During default our lawyer realistic 20% of the auction price will in-complain zzgl. all eBay fees and other costs as payment of damages judicially and also according to experience gotten (in the sense of all honest more eBayer one must write this unfortunately still...).

I described the vehicle in detail and honestly - thus I wish myself also honest prospective customers/Bieter, all this here a successful auction and much fun thereby! Now are not enough hesitated and "strongly loose-required"! 3-2-1 - "holt's you...!" Dealer data: "get you" member in the eBay power Seller program and entrepreneur are in the sense of § 14 BGB.

dude.. coooooool.. i bet the hvac system is easy to fix lmao

boneheaddoctor · #3 11-17-2005, 07:19 PM

Oh that is so cool......why engineer a flimsy lift gate when you can raise or lower the entire truck....

How is that thing driven? Those 608D's were originally rear wheel drive. are the rear wheels chain or hydraulically driven?
I didn't Babblefish it, are there German readers who can tell us if it explains the drive mechanism?

Here's the translation. It says 'manual circuit' drive. I'm sure that's one of those translation mistakes for a technical term. Any idea what it might be?

TheDon · #5 11-17-2005, 08:55 PM

maybe their is a gear train in those arm things.. i doubt electric motors insuch an old vehicle..... its either hydraulic or the gear train.. it cant be FWD engine is to big.. or can it be fwd.. this truck is weird.. i must have it

I've see incredibly large front wheel drive trucks in italy.....Ones larger than this one. Butr darned if I can remember who built them..I want to say Fiat but I am not certain.

TheDon · #7 11-17-2005, 09:17 PM

that things got to be FWD if you notice in the pics where your looking at the rear . their is no way a gear train or hydraulics could move the wheels..

boneheaddoctor · #8 11-17-2005, 09:20 PM

Anybody else but me see a front differential under this.....its either Front wheel drive or Four wheel drive.....but the former is more likely.

kerry · #9 11-17-2005, 09:47 PM

That does look like a differential. If so, it's very different than the standard 608d. A 4WD without the rear axle?

My German's not that great, but I muddled through a lot of the ad. I didn't see anything that seemed (to me) to be an explanation of the drive mechanism.

You're right; that didn't translate well. "Manuelle Schaltung" is just stating that it's a manual shift transmission.

Used to have a Hanomag at Edison Plant where I worked in UK back in 1970/3.
It was fwd. Load bed dropped to the ground on hydrulics like that 608.

I was wondering how the rear wheels where sprung and what acted as shock absorbers though on this 608. Seems like somehow the lifting arms may be doing double duty.

I would just love to have that here at my shop.

cmac2012 · #12 11-20-2005, 03:53 AM

I want to see a video of it lowering and raising the bed. I can kind of grasp it from the pictures but it would be cool to see.

Does seem like a nifty idea, but what if you loaded it up with more weight than it could hoist back up into place? I would guess they've dealt with that.

Something tells me it could be a problematic mechanism. A lot going on there.

dkveuro · #13 11-20-2005, 10:37 AM

Go back to my first post.

New translation for you.

kerry · #14 11-20-2005, 10:44 AM

'direct A splashes'--I assume that means 'direct injection'!

Top speed--89kph. That's slow.

Yeah, that's a diff. I think it's just converted front wheel drive. Like they used the stock engine and tranny, mounted a transfer case to power the front axle as I'm pretty certain there is NO power going to the back... unless it's got electric/hydralic motors on the rear wheels or something.

Anyway, it's good that this is slow, with the rear suspension design I'd say it's dangerous going THAT fast. Nobody can't tell me those arms don't flex some when it gets up to speed.

I don't know, I think the, um, American X design with a Johnny Lift on the back is a little safer.
