Model Details

Bring rugged modern construction realism into your HO scale collection with the Scania XT 17 Dump Truck 4-Axles in grey-yellow from Herpa. This highly detailed 1:87 scale model represents a heavy-duty Scania XT construction tipper fitted with a large Meiller dump body, finished in the distinctive grey and yellow construction livery used across European infrastructure and site operations.

The model captures the tough, purpose-built design of the Scania XT off-road series, featuring its reinforced bumper, high ground clearance stance, and aggressive front styling designed specifically for demanding construction environments. Herpa faithfully reproduces the four-axle chassis configuration, giving the vehicle a strong load-bearing presence suitable for heavy materials transport such as soil, gravel, and demolition waste.

The Meiller tipper body is the focal point of this model, accurately reflecting real-world dump truck systems used on construction sites. Its high-sided structure and functional design represent the standard configuration used by contractors across Europe for efficient loading and unloading in civil engineering and infrastructure projects. The grey and yellow colour scheme reinforces its role as a professional-grade construction vehicle commonly seen in coordinated site fleets.

Historical Background

The Scania XT series was developed as a dedicated off-road and construction-focused extension of Scania’s heavy-duty truck range. Designed for harsh working environments, it emphasizes durability, traction, and structural reinforcement, making it ideal for mining, quarrying, and large-scale infrastructure projects.

Dump trucks like this play a crucial role in modern civil engineering by transporting excavated materials such as soil, crushed rock, and construction debris. Their robust chassis and hydraulic tipping systems allow them to operate efficiently in repetitive loading cycles under demanding site conditions.

Meiller is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of tipping bodies, widely used in professional construction fleets. Their systems are known for durability, precision engineering, and compatibility with heavy-duty chassis such as the Scania XT platform.
