Cabover? that is a new term to me. I refer to them as forward control cabs. Just goes to show that there is always time to learn.
Tippers, mixers, loggers, freighters, horses, everything here is 'cabover'. We have a few Freightliner Columbias on the market, some short cabs and long cabs, but good cabs none the less. I recently went to our Eston Show, and they had a few trucks there, mainly cheapish Asian brands, but MAN and Mercedes Benz were there too.
The Asian trucks, like Hino, Isuzu and Powerstar were mainly the daycab versions, but still very comfortable. I checked out an MAN TGA 33.410 Horse, and that thing was spiffy. Huge cab(enough space for me to stand) huge bunks, air suspension seat, ergo controls etc. Not quite a microwave, but our hauls that our truckers pull are no more than 700kms if going to Jo'burg from Durban, and around 2000 km from Durban to Capetown. Most of those operators use the fancy European trucks, Scanias, MAN, Merc, International cabovers, Freightliners, Volvo, DAF (which is now struggling along) but some of the operators going to Jo'burg use the Asian trucks, like Isuzu, Hino, UD and Powerstar. The powerstars are just remakes of the older Merc Powerliners and MAN F2000.
