RH 8×4
Built for high payload vocational applications
The International RH 8×4 is designed for operators who need increased payload capacity for construction, aggregate, and heavy vocational work.
With Cummins X15 power, Eaton transmissions and Meritor axle combinations, the RH 8×4 delivers controlled performance under heavy loads. Its reinforced chassis and advanced suspension systems make it ideal for tipper and specialised body applications.
Engineered with NZ’s lowest tare cab and chassis in its category, the RH 8×4 helps maximise payload without compromising strength or reliability.
