Renault R385 With Hub Reduction Axle

One of the most important features of this Renault R385 tractor unit is its heavy duty hub reduction rear axle.

For buyers looking for an older tractor unit for demanding operating conditions, hub reduction is an important specification. Together with the manual transmission, it makes this R385 particularly interesting for export buyers searching for a traditional European heavy truck.

This is not simply an old highway tractor with a basic rear axle.

It combines 385 HP, manual transmission, hub reduction and tipping hydraulics in one truck.

Hydraulic Kit for Tipping Trailer

The Renault is already fitted with a PTO driven hydraulic system for tipping trailers.

This makes the truck suitable for use with tipping semi-trailers carrying materials such as:

• Sand and aggregates
• Stone
• Construction materials
• Agricultural products
• Scrap
• Bulk materials

For an export buyer looking for a tractor unit with hydraulic kit, this saves the cost and work of installing a complete tipping hydraulic system after purchase.

Manual Renault R385 – Simple Heavy Duty Specification

The R385 belongs to an era of Renault heavy trucks valued for their comparatively straightforward mechanical construction.

For many international operators, particularly where trucks must work far from main dealer networks, this type of specification remains attractive.

Front Spring / Rear Air Suspension

This particular Renault has spring suspension on the front axle and air suspension on the rear axle.

The rear air suspension makes the truck more suitable for normal road transport while retaining the heavy duty hub reduction rear axle.
