MAN truck dimensions

We covered extensive topics on how best to evaluate and find information about MAN trucks.

MAN truck dimensions and payload capacity

The dimensions of German truck manufacturer MAN, like those of other vehicle manufacturers, largely depend on the chosen model, cabin, accessories, and configuration. However, let’s try to provide the average measurements of the most popular MAN TGX truck model parameters:

The overall length (from the front bumper to the rear) typically ranges from 7.5 meters to 10 meters, if configured for long-haul trips.

The wheelbase (distance between the centres of the front and rear axles) can vary from 3.8 meters (for city trips) to 6 meters (for long distances).

The length of the cargo compartment can reach 6 meters when transporting such goods as construction materials or equipment.

The standard height of a MAN TGX truck (vertical distance from the ground to the highest point of the truck) averages around 3.8 meters, but remember that this measurement largely depends on factors such as additional equipment or modifications.

The standard width of a MAN TGX (the distance across the widest part of the truck, usually measured without side mirrors) can reach about 2.5 meters, but again, it can vary considerably depending on parameters such as tire type or additional equipment.

Equally important are the dimensions of the exterior and interior cabins of the trucks. MAN TGX trucks use three cabin types, the dimensions of which are outlined in the table.

One of the most popular MAN GX cabins, which offers comfort almost equivalent to a hotel room, has dimensions and configuration designed to provide drivers with comfort during long-distance journeys. The ergonomic cabin, where everything is designed to ensure comfort, features a high ceiling, low engine tunnel, comfortable beds, and effective sound insulation. In addition to the most important cabin dimensions provided in the table above, the measurements are also presented graphically in the image below.

Among the cabins, MAN GX stands out for its comfort, and among the models, the efficient and versatile MAN TGX 18.470 4×2 BL SA (with the same GX cabin). Below, we present approximate measurements for this configuration.

The provided measurements are approximate and will always depend on the selected configuration and requirements. For more precise dimensions, consult the specifications of the specific model.
