This build review covers a TT20 tilt tray delivered to Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast on a Mitsubishi Shogun 360 6x2 platform — a civil-ready, metro-capable configuration built for operators working primarily on sealed roads and hardstand sites across South East Queensland.
The Shogun 360 6x2 is a deliberate chassis choice for this type of work. Not every tilt tray needs all-wheel capability. For civil infrastructure delivery, plant hire, and urban construction support where most operating happens on formed or sealed surfaces, the 6x2 configuration offers some practical advantages — and some limitations that are worth understanding before you commit to a spec.
The Mitsubishi Shogun 360 6x2 Platform
The Shogun 360 is a proven platform in Australian civil and commercial fleet applications. The 6x2 configuration — with a single driven rear axle and a trailing lift/load axle — is a common choice for operators where on-road efficiency and payload capacity take priority over off-road traction.
For the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland market, where much of the civil work involves infrastructure delivery between urban sites, road construction on formed surfaces, and plant hire supporting residential and commercial development, the 6x2 is frequently specified. The platform suits the work.
6x2 — Advantages Worth Knowing
- Increased payload capacity — the trailing axle configuration typically reduces tare weight compared to a driven equivalent, which means more legal payload per load cycle
- Better fuel efficiency on road — reduced rolling resistance from one less driven axle, relevant for operators doing significant road kilometres between jobs
- Smooth on-road ride — particularly on highways and well-maintained hardstand
6x2 — Limitations to Consider
- Limited traction on soft or uneven ground — no crosslocks on the trailing axle means reduced traction in wet, steep, or unsealed conditions
- Site access restrictions — operators working regularly on rough or muddy access roads, or in wet weather environments, should consider whether a driven rear axle configuration better suits their work
This is a specification conversation worth having with your builder before committing. The right chassis configuration depends on where and how the truck will actually operate — not just the majority of jobs, but the edge cases too.
The TT20 Body Specification
The TT20 body on this build is built to ATT's civil specification:
- HARDOX 450 deck floor and high tensile sides — wear-resistant steel specified for tracked plant and heavy repeated loading, with good strength-to-weight characteristics
- 20,000lb hydraulic winch — rated for plant and fleet recovery work
- Hydraulic stabilising legs — outrigger positioning to support safe loading and unloading on varied surfaces
- QuickLash tie-down system — fast, secure load restraint to reduce time between jobs
- Side access toolboxes — lockable, accessible storage integrated into the body profile
- Lodar wireless remote with hydraulic backup — remote operation capability with manual backup control for operator safety and flexibility
Who This Configuration Suits
This build configuration is well suited to:
- Civil infrastructure contractors in South East Queensland delivering plant between sites on sealed or formed roads
- Plant hire companies operating in urban and peri-urban environments where site access is predominantly formed surface
- Operators prioritising payload efficiency and on-road running economy over off-road versatility
- Fleet operators where presentation and professional finish are part of the client-facing brand
If your operation regularly takes you onto unsealed mine access roads, steep or soft ground, or remote project sites, a 4x4, 6x6, or 8x4 configuration is worth discussing. We build across the full TT20 class range — the right chassis depends on the job.
Delivered to Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast
This build was delivered through our long-term relationship with Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast, who spec and supply tilt tray bodies on behalf of their commercial fleet customers. It's a relationship built on consistent build quality and reliable delivery — the kind of partnership that works because both parties understand what the end operator actually needs.
This is a build review for a completed project. Specifications vary by build. The suitability of a 6x2 chassis configuration for your application depends on your operating environment and site conditions — we work through those decisions with you before finalising a specification.
Any Type Trucks builds TT20 tilt tray bodies across all class sizes for civil and hire fleet operators across Queensland and Australia. View the TT20 range or call 07 5476 8499.
