Model Details

Add realistic road traffic and construction activity to your HO scale model railway with the Viessmann CarMotion Mercedes-Benz Actros 2640 3-Axle Skip Loader. Finished in municipal orange and equipped with authentic rotating warning beacons, this highly detailed functional vehicle is based on the powerful Mercedes-Benz Actros 2640 6x4 fitted with a MEILLER AK 14060 skip loader body.

Part of the innovative CarMotion range, this model features advanced infrared-controlled operation, realistic driving characteristics, and a fully functional lighting package. The underfloor drive system leaves the loading area unobstructed, making the vehicle ideal for construction sites, civil engineering projects, track maintenance scenes, and industrial layouts. Combined with other CarMotion vehicles and accessories, it creates a highly realistic road transport system alongside your railway operations.

The model is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery providing up to 4–6 hours of operation under normal running conditions. Additional functions include cab lighting, brake lights, reversing lights, indicators, hazard warning lights, dipped and main beam headlights, a visible driver figure, and a 5-pin coupling for CarMotion trailers and semi-trailers. Easy magnetic switching via a reed contact allows convenient operation, while remote-control functionality enables precise manoeuvring, including short-distance reversing without mechanical guidance. Charging and programming connections are integrated for simple setup and maintenance.
