Dump trucks

Originally introduced in the USA in 1936 as the type 1FD, the majority of the R-15 machines imported into New Zealand were actually built in the UK and were available with a choice of five engines: Leyland, AEC, Cummins, Rolls-Royce or GM.

Two body styles could also be fitted depending on the machines intended application; standard (with parallel side sheets) and quarry (with tapered side sheets and added external and internal reinforcing). Both were rated at 15 tons capacity and held approximately 12 cubic yards. Examples of both body styles were imported.

It was replaced by the R-18 in the USA commencing around 1957 and by the R-17 in the UK in 1968.
