Project background
The land export record covers two different ISUZU vehicles travelling through the Erenhot road border to Ulaanbaatar. One is a double-cab tow truck; the record does not describe two identical tow trucks.
The tow truck has a 5,200 mm wheelbase, with a 5,400 × 2,300 mm platform and a 4-ton winch. Its double cab provides crew space. The cab, recovery body and carried vehicle all need to be accounted for in the completed mass and axle distribution.
Record scope
The available record covers export and shipment. It does not document arrival, local registration or commissioning.

Specifying a similar recovery vehicle
Use these points for a new specification. The original buyer's reasons for choosing this configuration are not documented here.
Crew space and remaining payload
The double cab and recovery body use chassis capacity before the casualty vehicle is loaded. Work out the required seating and usable deck space, with restraint positions, before calculating the remaining payload. The recorded gross mass is not cargo capacity.
Route geometry
The 5,200 mm wheelbase affects turning and breakover geometry. For a similar order, state overall-length limits and loading access, then check the finished vehicle’s approach and departure angles.
Preparing for winter duty
Air conditioning, ABS and a differential lock do not establish winter capability. Specify the minimum temperature and starting requirements for your route. Suitable fluids and hydraulic components need to be selected for those conditions, with local parts support considered as well.
Suitable work
Recovery work requiring crew accommodation alongside a defined platform envelope.
Reasons to revise the specification
Tight urban access may favour a shorter wheelbase; heavier vehicles may need a different chassis and recovery system.

Prepare a new order
We need to check component availability and the equipment package again for a new order. The new quotation and signed specification determine the supply. This project record is not a standing offer or approval for use at the destination.
Understanding the recorded specification
- What does the 5,400 mm value describe?
- It is the recorded platform length; the platform width is 2,300 mm. The chassis wheelbase is a different value, 5,200 mm. Neither dimension is a statement of carrying capacity or winch pull.
