This 2017 Scania R500 6×4 tractor head is available now from Dar Of Equipment, one of Dubai’s trusted sources for used heavy trucks and construction equipment. Built on Scania’s R-series platform and powered by the DC13 V8 engine, this unit was designed for serious haulage work long-distance transport, tanker operations, and heavy trailer combinations across the UAE and wider GCC region.
The 6×4 configuration means this truck carries a tandem drive axle setup, giving it stronger traction than a standard 4×2 when pulling loaded trailers off soft ground, construction sites, or port yards, while still delivering comfortable, efficient highway performance on long runs between emirates or across borders. Paired with Scania’s Opticruise automated transmission, the drivetrain is built to reduce driver fatigue and fuel burn on extended routes two of the biggest cost factors for fleet operators running this class of truck in the region.
This particular unit has passed our inspection process and is sold ready to work, whether you’re adding to an existing fleet, replacing an ageing prime mover, or sourcing for export. Scania’s strong parts and service presence across the UAE also means ownership costs stay predictable long after the sale, which is a major reason used Scania tractor heads consistently hold their resale value better than many competing brands in the Dubai used truck market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The R500’s DC13 V8 and Opticruise gearbox remain competitive for GCC heavy-haulage work, and a 2017 unit typically still has significant service life remaining when maintenance records are clean and mileage is reasonable.
The 6×4 configuration is built for high gross combination weights and is commonly paired with tri-axle or B-double trailers for hauls well beyond 60 tonnes GCW, depending on trailer spec and UAE axle load regulations.
