Trucks for Sale in Peru: 8x4 Tippers and Concrete Pumps for Andean Road and Tunnel Projects

Looking for reliable vehicles for a road or tunnel project in Peru? You might haul spoil out of a tunnel heading in the central highlands, pump lining concrete at 4,000 metres, or move fill and aggregates on a highway project between the coast and the sierra. In each case, Schaften Automotive is your European partner for trucks, commercial vehicles and complete fleet solutions. From our headquarters in the Netherlands, we supply 8x4 tippers and truck-mounted concrete pumps from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO and other leading European brands, with bodies and equipment specified for your project. We arrange everything from A to Z, so your vehicle arrives ready for work.

More Than a Supplier: Your Sparring Partner from A to Z

Few construction environments are as punishing as the Peruvian Andes. A truck that loads at sea level near Lima can be working at Ticlio within a few hours, close to 4,800 metres, where thin air costs a diesel engine a significant share of its power and leaves far less margin on cooling and braking. The descent back to the coast is one long test of your engine brake. Mountain roads are narrow, with tight switchbacks where turning circle and overhang matter more than extra payload. In the rainy season, landslides and washouts close routes without warning. And in a tunnel, you add confined space, restricted ventilation and a continuous cycle of loading, hauling and placing concrete that leaves no room for a vehicle that is not up to the job.


That is why we don’t start from a catalogue. We start by understanding your project: the altitude you work at, the gradients on your haul route, the tunnel profile and ventilation, the concrete volumes and placing points, the cycle times you need and the service capacity you have on site. Based on that, we advise you on engine rating, braking, cooling, filtration, wheelbase, body design and pump specification. Once you have made your choice, we take care of the rest: bodybuilding, export documentation, support with homologation and registration, and transport to Callao or another Peruvian port. You have one point of contact for the entire process.

6x4 Tank Trucks for the Oriente

Tank trucks are the backbone of road logistics in the Ecuadorian oil fields. A 6x4 chassis gives you two driven rear axles, which is what you need when a loaded tanker has to pull away on a wet ramp or a soft well pad, and it carries the weight of a full tank without overloading a single axle.

What We Supply

  • Crude and produced water transport between well pads, batteries and collection points, with tanks specified for the density and temperature of your product.
  • Fuel tankers for supplying camps, generators, drilling rigs and equipment, with multiple compartments, pumps and metering systems.
  • Water tankers for drilling operations, road watering and camp supply.
  • Drilling fluid and chemical transport, with tanks, linings and fittings specified for the product and built to the applicable requirements for dangerous goods.
  • Vacuum trucks for tank cleaning, pit and sump work and spill response.

How We Specify the Tank

The tank decides whether the vehicle is an asset or a liability. We have tanks built by specialised European manufacturers and specify them around your work:

  • capacity and baffles matched to the chassis and to Ecuadorian weight limits, with internal baffles to control surge on steep and uneven ground;
  • materials and linings suited to crude, produced water, fuel or chemicals, including stainless steel and coated options;
  • pumps, valves and fittings chosen for your loading and discharge points, with couplings that match your existing operation;
  • safety equipment such as emergency shut-off, earthing, spill containment, fire extinguishers and reflective marking;
  • certification according to the applicable requirements for the product you carry, so the vehicle can be put to work without discussion.

4x4 Service Vehicles for Remote Locations

Not every job needs a tanker. Much of the work in a block is done by lighter vehicles that have to reach places a heavy truck cannot. A 4x4 chassis with reduction gearing, differential locks, good ground clearance and a short wheelbase keeps working when the access road has turned to mud.


Typical Applications

  • Mobile workshops and maintenance trucks with a crane, workbench, generator, compressor and parts storage, so your crew can work at the well instead of towing equipment back to base.
  • Crew and personnel transport with crew cabs, built to the safety standard your operator requires.
  • Crane and utility trucks for installation, lifting and recovery work on location.
  • Small tankers and service units for fuel, water, lubricants and oils, where a full-size tanker cannot reach.
  • Emergency and response vehicles for fire fighting support, spill response and medical support at camps and platforms.


We supply 4x4 vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz Zetros and Atego 4x4, the MAN TGM 4x4 and the IVECO Daily 4x4 and Eurocargo 4x4, depending on the payload and access you need.

Specified for Altitude, Humidity and the Amazon

The difference between a vehicle that works and one that stands still is in the specification. We advise you on:

  • altitude: engine rating and turbocharging for routes that cross the Andes, where power and cooling margins drop sharply;
  • descents: a retarder or strong engine brake for long loaded descents from the highlands into the Oriente;
  • traction and clearance: differential locks, suitable tyres, protected underbody components and the right wheelbase for narrow, rutted access roads;
  • humidity and corrosion: coatings, sealed electrical systems and protection against permanent moisture, mud and vegetation;
  • water and mud: wading capability, raised air intakes and breathers where your routes require it;
  • serviceability: component choices for which parts and support are available in Ecuador, and fuel systems suited to local diesel quality;
  • operator standards: cameras, beacons, speed management, fire suppression, roll-over protection and markings according to the HSE standard of the operator you work for.

Beyond Oil and Gas: Other Work in Ecuador

Many of our customers combine oil field work with other operations. Alongside 6x4 tankers and 4x4 service vehicles, we can arrange:

  • tipper trucks and construction vehicles for access roads, well pads and civil works;
  • truck-mounted cranes and low-loaders for moving equipment between locations;
  • tractor units for haulage between Quito, Guayaquil and the Oriente;
  • refrigerated trucks for camp catering and for the export of bananas, flowers, shrimp and other fresh products;
  • support vehicles for mining projects in the southeast of the country.


Because we deliver everything through one point of contact, you can combine several vehicle types in one order and one planning.

Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO & More

Our range covers the leading European commercial vehicle brands:

  • Mercedes-Benz: the Actros and Arocs for heavy tanker work, the Atego for medium duty, and the Zetros for extreme off-road conditions.
  • MAN: the TGS and TGM, with strong drivetrains and all-wheel-drive configurations.
  • IVECO: the T-Way and X-Way for heavy work, and the Daily 4x4 and Eurocargo 4x4 for access vehicles.
  • Scania: a popular choice for heavy haulage and long-distance work.


Other brands are available on request. Ecuador drives on the right, so European left-hand-drive vehicles are a natural fit, and the major European brands are represented in Ecuador with service networks. Not sure which brand or configuration suits your operation best? We compare the options with you objectively, based on your routes, loads, budget and service requirements.

How We Arrange Your Purchase from A to Z

Step 1: Consultation and Field Requirements

We discuss your blocks and routes, altitudes and gradients, access road conditions, products carried, weight limits, operator HSE standards and budget. As your sparring partner, we translate these into clear technical requirements for chassis, tank and body.

Step 2: Selection and Configuration

We select the right 6x4 or 4x4 chassis and specify the tank or service body with our bodybuilders. You receive a clear proposal with specifications, pricing and planning. Before you commit, we check with you which Ecuadorian import, homologation and registration requirements apply.

Step 3: Bodybuilding and Technical Preparation

The tank, workshop body or crane installation is built by a specialised European bodybuilder, following the chassis manufacturer’s guidelines. We oversee quality and planning and can arrange an inspection or share progress photos before completion.

Step 4: Documentation, Homologation Support and Customs

We prepare the export documents and shipping paperwork, including the European Certificate of Conformity, proof of EU origin where applicable and the technical documentation your importer needs for homologation and registration with the ANT. We also coordinate with your customs agent so import clearance runs as smoothly as possible.

Step 5: Transport and Shipping to Ecuador

We organise transport to the port of departure and shipping to Ecuador, usually to Guayaquil, with Manta, Posorja or Esmeraldas as alternatives depending on your destination. Depending on the vehicle, this can be by RoRo, container or break bulk. We keep you informed at every stage until your vehicle arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trucks for Sale in Ecuador

  • We supply chassis from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO and other leading European brands. For 6x4 tanker work that includes the Actros, Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO T-Way or X-Way. For 4x4 service vehicles that includes the Mercedes-Benz Zetros and Atego 4x4, the MAN TGM 4x4 and the IVECO Daily 4x4 and Eurocargo 4x4. We combine these with tanks for crude, water, fuel and chemicals, vacuum systems, mobile workshops, crane installations and crew cab configurations built by specialised European manufacturers.

  • No. As a member of the Andean Community, Ecuador applies the automotive sector agreement, under which only new vehicles of the current or the following model year may be imported. The import of used vehicles is therefore not permitted, apart from a small number of exceptional cases set out in specific legislation. For that reason, our offer for Ecuador focuses on new vehicles. We check the current rules with you and your customs agent before you commit, so you never buy something that cannot be registered.

  • A vehicle must be homologated against the applicable Ecuadorian technical requirements and registered with the national transport authority before it can operate. For the import itself you need a commercial invoice, a bill of lading, export documents and a certificate of origin, and your customs agent files the import declaration. Vehicles of European Union origin may qualify for preferential import duties under the trade agreement between the European Union and Ecuador, provided a valid proof of origin is supplied. We provide the European Certificate of Conformity and the technical documentation needed for homologation, and coordinate with your importer and customs agent.

  • Absolutely. We regularly supply multiple vehicles for oil and gas operators and service contractors. We help you plan the right mix of tankers, vacuum trucks, mobile workshops, crane trucks, crew vehicles and construction support units. We align delivery with your campaign schedule and coordinate bodybuilding, certification, documentation and shipping for the whole fleet. You have one point of contact throughout, and we remain available for fleet expansions or follow-up orders.
