If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

Built for Heavy Transport
Heavy transport requires more than engine power alone.
A tractor unit operating with high combination weights must combine engine performance, drivetrain strength, traction, cooling capacity, chassis stability and the correct semitrailer equipment into one complete vehicle. The MAN TGS 33.440 6x4 BB SA has been configured around exactly these requirements.
The vehicle is classified as a Semitrailer Tractor (SA) and incorporates a heavy chassis configuration developed for demanding transport applications. The 6x4 drivetrain transfers engine power through two driven rear axles, while differential locks on the driven rear axles provide additional traction when operating under load or on lower-grip surfaces. With technically permissible gross train weight configurations extending beyond conventional road transport requirements, this MAN TGS provides a strong foundation for specialised transport operations.
440 HP MAN D26 Engine
Heavy loads place continuous demands on the engine.
Power comes from the proven MAN D2676 D26 6-cylinder diesel engine, producing 324 kW / 440 HP and 2,250 Nm of torque. The engine is configured according to the EURO-2 emission standard, creating a straightforward heavy-duty powertrain particularly relevant for international markets where lower-emission-complexity commercial vehicles remain widely used.
With 2,250 Nm available through the driveline, the MAN TGS 33.440 provides the torque required for moving heavy combinations, maintaining momentum under load and supporting demanding transport operations. For fleet operators, contractors and international transport companies, the result is a practical combination of MAN engine performance, heavy-duty drivetrain engineering and a vehicle configuration developed for professional commercial operation.
MAN TipMatic 12.28 OD Transmission
Engine performance becomes useful only when that power can be transferred efficiently to the road.
The MAN TGS 33.440 is equipped with the MAN TipMatic 12.28 OD automated transmission. The gearbox configuration incorporates multiple MAN driving functions and operating programs designed around different working conditions, including heavy transport and manoeuvring requirements.
The configuration includes:
- MAN TipMatic 12.28 OD
- MAN EfficientRoll
- MAN Idle Speed Driving
- MAN TipMatic Efficiency Driving Program
- MAN TipMatic Offroad Shift Strategy
- MAN TipMatic Heavy Transport Program Extension
- MAN TipMatic Manoeuvre Driving Program
Together, these transmission functions create a flexible driveline that can support highway transport, heavy combinations, low-speed manoeuvring and operations where greater control of the powertrain is required.
Heavy-Duty 6x4 Drivetrain
A heavy transport tractor needs traction exactly when the load demands it.
The 6x4 drivetrain of the MAN TGS 33.440 uses two driven rear axles, providing considerably greater traction capability than a conventional 4x2 tractor configuration. The first driven rear axle is a MAN HPD-1382 13,000 kg planetary axle with drive-through, while the second driven rear axle is a MAN HP-1352 13,000 kg planetary axle.
Both driven rear axles are equipped with differential locks. This configuration helps transfer the available 2,250 Nm of engine torque through the driveline while providing additional traction during heavy-load operations. For transport companies operating loaded semitrailers, construction equipment, machinery and heavy project cargo, the 6x4 configuration provides the drivetrain foundation required for more demanding transport work.
Leaf / Leaf BB Suspension
Heavy-duty vehicles need a suspension system designed around load-carrying capability and durability. The BB designation of this MAN TGS indicates a leaf-spring configuration on both the front and driven rear axles. The chassis uses:
- Parabolic 2-Leaf Steel Front Suspension
- Parabolic 5-Leaf Steel Suspension on First Rear Axle
- Parabolic 5-Leaf Steel Suspension on Second Rear Axle
- Shock Absorbers on Front & Rear Axles
- Stabiliser on Front Axle
- Stabiliser on First Rear Axle
- Stabiliser on Second Rear Axle
- Reinforced Wishbone
This conventional heavy-duty suspension configuration provides a robust platform for demanding commercial transport operations.
Designed for High Combination Weights
Heavy transport is ultimately about safely moving greater loads.
The MAN TGS 33.440 configuration provides several different weight classifications depending on registration and technical operating conditions. The vehicle specification lists:
- 26,000 kg Nationally Permissible Gross Vehicle Weight
- 33,000 kg Technically Permissible Gross Vehicle Weight
- 44,000 kg National Gross Train Weight
- 64,000 kg Technical Gross Train Weight
- 86,000 kg Technical Load Plus Gross Train Weight
These figures make the MAN TGS 33.440 relevant not only as a conventional 6x4 tractor unit, but also as a platform for specialised heavy transport applications where higher technical combination weights are required.
Actual permitted operating weights always depend on local regulations, registration, trailer configuration, route restrictions and applicable transport permits.
JOST 3.5" Fifth-Wheel Coupling
The connection between tractor and semitrailer is a critical component in heavy transport.
This MAN TGS is equipped with a JOST JSK 38 C 3.5-inch fifth-wheel coupling. The heavy-duty fifth-wheel configuration is designed around specialised semitrailer applications and complements the vehicle's 6x4 drivetrain and heavy transport specification.
The tractor also incorporates the required electrical and pneumatic semitrailer connections behind the cab, including trailer braking and electrical connections. This creates a dedicated MAN tractor unit designed from the chassis upwards around professional semitrailer operations.
PTO for Additional Equipment
Specialised transport operations can require more than simply pulling a semitrailer.
The MAN TGS is therefore equipped with a gearbox-dependent PTO, type NH/4c. The PTO configuration provides the interface required for operating compatible auxiliary equipment where the intended application requires additional hydraulic or mechanical power. For specialised transport companies, this provides greater flexibility when configuring the tractor for specific trailers or auxiliary systems.
Engineered for Hot & Dusty Operating Conditions
Heavy-duty international transport often takes place far beyond the operating environment of conventional European highway trucks.
High ambient temperatures, dust and challenging road conditions can place additional demands on the engine and cooling system. This MAN TGS has therefore been specified for vehicle operation at high temperatures and incorporates several components designed to support demanding operating environments. Equipment includes:
- High-Temperature Vehicle Deployment Configuration
- Raised Engine Air Intake Behind Cab
- Engine Air Intake Pre-Separator
- Engine Dry-Air Filter with Safety Insert
- High-Output Visco Radiator Fan
- Reduction of Dust Swirl Through Radiator Fan
- Lower Radiator Protection
- Front Radiator Protection Grille
- Heated Fuel Pre-Filter with Water Trap & Water Sensor
These features make the MAN TGS particularly relevant for international operations where high temperatures, dust and demanding working environments are part of everyday transport.
590-Litre Aluminium Fuel Tank
Long-distance transport requires practical operating range.
The MAN TGS 33.440 is equipped with a 590-litre aluminium fuel tank mounted on the right-hand side of the chassis. The large chassis fuel capacity supports longer operating distances between refuelling stops and is particularly useful for international transport, project logistics and operations in areas where fuel stations may be further apart. A lockable fuel filler cap and filler-neck filter screen are also included in the vehicle configuration.
Heavy-Duty Braking System
Moving a heavy combination is only one part of the job.
Controlling it is equally important. The MAN TGS incorporates a comprehensive braking configuration including:
- Electronic Brake System – EBS
- Anti-Lock Braking System – ABS
- Full Brake Assistant
- MAN EVBec High-Performance Engine Brake
- Drum Brakes on Front Axle
- Drum Brakes on First Rear Axle
- Drum Brakes on Second Rear Axle
- Parking Brake with Spring-Type Actuators on Rear Axles
- Brake Lining Wear Monitoring
The MAN EVBec high-performance engine brake provides additional braking capability without relying exclusively on the service brakes, particularly useful during loaded operation and long descents.
ADR Type AT Equipment Configuration
Some heavy transport operations involve tanker semitrailers or other specialised transport equipment.
The specification includes dangerous goods equipment in accordance with ADR Type AT. This makes the chassis configuration particularly relevant for operators considering applications involving specialised semitrailers where an ADR Type AT vehicle configuration is required. Any final operation with dangerous goods remains subject to applicable certification, vehicle approval, body or trailer specification and national legislation.
MAN TN Cab – Built Around the Driver
Heavy transport frequently means long working days.
The MAN TN cab combines relatively compact exterior dimensions with the additional cab length required for professional long-distance and project operations. The vehicle specification describes the TN cab as a narrow, long cab of normal height. Driver equipment includes:
- Air Conditioning
- Air-Sprung Comfort Driver's Seat
- Driver's Seat Armrests
- Multi-Function Steering Wheel
- Adjustable Steering Wheel Height & Angle
- Professional 12.3" Instrumentation
- Cruise Control
- Electrically Adjustable & Heated Exterior Mirrors
- 1 Driver's Bunk
- 110 mm Comfort Mattress
- Interior Storage Compartments
- 12 V & 24 V Sockets
- USB Charging Connection
- Central Locking
- Interior Curtains
The result is a practical MAN working environment suitable for operators spending extended periods with the truck.
Heavy-Duty Lighting & Protection
Transport operations do not stop when road conditions become difficult.
The MAN TGS includes a practical exterior lighting and protection package designed around commercial working conditions. Equipment includes:
- H7 Front Headlights
- H7 Fog Lights
- H7 Cornering Lights
- LED Daytime Running Lights
- Stone Protection Guards for Front Headlights
- LED Side Marker Lights
- Manoeuvring Light
- Two Yellow Revolving Beacons on Cab Roof
- Three-Piece Steel Front Bumper
315/80 R22.5 Bridgestone Tyres
The tyre configuration also reflects the intended heavy-duty use.
The front axle uses Bridgestone 315/80 R22.5 M-STEER 002 tyres, while the driven rear axles use Bridgestone 315/80 R22.5 M-DRIVE 002 tyres. Twin tyres are fitted on both driven rear axles. This configuration combines dedicated steering tyres on the front axle with traction-oriented tyres on the driven rear axles, supporting the 6x4 drivetrain under loaded operating conditions.
Compact 3,600 mm Main Wheelbase
Heavy-duty capability does not necessarily require an unnecessarily long tractor chassis.
The MAN TGS uses a 3,600 mm main wheelbase, combined with 1,400 mm spacing between the two rear axles and a 700 mm rear frame overhang. The relatively compact tractor dimensions help maintain manoeuvrability when working with semitrailers, low-loaders and other specialised trailer combinations. The technical data lists an overall vehicle length of approximately 7,415 mm, while the unladen overall height is approximately 3,396 mm.
