Nate- The mobile cranes I know that use V6 engines are: 1)Terex-Demag 2)Grove These two both use a Daimler Chrysler OM 906 LA V6 in the crane operator's section, and both use a Daimler Chrylser OM 502 LA V8 for the main drive. If you want to find (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

I was only talking about big rigs. Do European tractor trailers actually have V6's? Do their mobile cranes actually have V6's? I just wondered because it seems that TLC uses a V6 in every truck design. The Airtech Rig in 1994 had one. The New crane (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

Maybe I'm crazy, but don't most trucks with a 6-cylinder engine have the cylinders inline? Every Lego truck or crane has a V6. Their designs have been like that for over 10 years. Is this just because a "V" fits in well, or do European trucks (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)
