gicknordon Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Lift axle. 64 means 6 wheels, 4 driven and 84 means 8 wheels, 4 driven. Tri drive would be 86 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-484721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhook Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Why would they have separate model based solely on lift axle? Doesnt make much sense. What about 5,6 or 7 axle Granite's? Lol.

Bullheaded Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 You sure it is for lift axle and not twin steer? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-484724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true, it could be either steer or lift. Just means non driven.

Bullheaded Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 OK, I haven't paid real close attention lately, but I had thought I seen that designation used on the twin steers that are quite common up here.

Pac man slim Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That's not the difference we have two 64 that are tandoms Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-485484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 If your tandems are both drive axles that would mean it's a 64 6 wheel position 4 drives 2 steering is the way I understand the explanation Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-485488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say 6 wheels, I mean 6 wheel locations. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-485509 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Here's an 84B https://www.truckandtrailer.ca/en/content/2022-mack-granite-84b-dump-truck-maple And a 64B for sale. https://www.truckandtrailer.ca/en/content/2022-mack-gr64b-dump-truck-maple-0 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-486066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gicknordon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 To add to to confusion, here is an 84f. https://www.truckpaper.com/listings/trucks/for-sale/196313959/2020-mack-granite-84fr The 64b above has the same axle setup outside of location, but the lift axle was not installed by the factory, so it gets the 64b designation. The 84f had its lift axle installed at lvo, so it gets that designation. The F and B is for setforward or setback front axle.

Bullheaded Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I wish our Tri-axles were like that one gicknordon. Nice and short, instead of these ridiculous 266 inch wheelbase 21/22 foot boxes. I miss the days of tandems with 15 foot boxes. Not hard on the truck, and go anywhere. And not hauling giiant loads for the same rates, LOL Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68878-granite-64-fr-vs-84fr/#findComment-486109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
