1996 Mitsubishi FK415K20 Tipper Truck with Hydraulic Crane - 251,182 Hours
Overview
This 1996 Mitsubishi FK415K20 represents a classic Japanese commercial workhorse, purpose-built for demanding construction and earthmoving applications. The FK415 series was engineered for heavy-duty tipper operations combined with integrated hydraulic crane capability, making it a versatile multi-function platform for site work, material handling, and transport. With its proven 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and robust mechanical design, this machine remains a capable performer for operators seeking reliable, no-frills functionality at an accessible price point.
The truck presents in honest working condition consistent with its 251,182 hours of service. The white cab shows patina appropriate to its age and operational history. The tipper tray is functional with side rails intact. The integrated hydraulic crane, whilst showing surface corrosion typical of field equipment, remains mechanically present and operable. Undercarriage and chassis components display age-related rust and wear reflective of three decades of active service. The engine bay retains original badging and shows the characteristic wear profile of a well-used commercial diesel unit. Tyres are worn and will require replacement. This is an honest, unrestored example suitable for buyers seeking proven mechanical capability over cosmetic presentation.
In the current market for vintage commercial vehicles and working equipment, comparable 1990s Mitsubishi tippers with similar hours typically range from AUD 8,000 to 15,000 depending on mechanical condition and tray configuration. This example, with integrated crane capability and functional tipper mechanism, represents solid value for operators requiring a capable work platform without investment in restoration or modernisation.
