German term or phrase: Frontaufstieg
Innen sorgt die Konstruktion für vollständige Entleerung und barrierefreies Abrutschen des Ladegutes. Damit muss der Fahrer nicht gesondert Reinigen, was ihm vor allem beim wechselnden Transport von Baustoffen und Lebensmitteln (z. B. Getreide) zugute kommt. Trotz der glattflächigen Konstruktion erreicht die Mulde bekannt hohe Stabilitätswerte.
Obwohl der Kipper mit 28.000 Kilo Nutzlast einen mehr als konkurrenzfähigen Wert realisiert, lässt sich das Leergewicht um weitere 200 Kilo reduzieren – dann allerdings unter Verzicht auf einen Teil der umfangreichen Serienausstattung (Frontaufstieg, Stützwinden, etc.).
