If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

Built for 20 ft Container Transport
Remote transport operations often require equipment that can perform far beyond conventional road conditions.
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs 1836 AK combines a permanent 4x4 drivetrain with a purpose-built container carrier platform designed around the dimensions of a standard 20 ft ISO container.
The body has been constructed by Schaften Automotive using a heavy-duty steel support structure integrated with the truck chassis. Dedicated twistlock positions secure the container at its corner castings, creating a stable connection between vehicle and load while still allowing the container to be removed when operational requirements change.
This makes the truck particularly useful for operations where containers are used as mobile workshops, equipment stores, technical units, command centres, mobile hospitals or general cargo modules.
Schaften Automotive In-House Container Body
A container carrier used in demanding environments needs more than a basic flat platform.
The body has been developed in-house by Schaften Automotive with durability, simplicity and practical field operation in mind. The structure is designed to distribute the container weight across the chassis while providing a robust mounting foundation for repeated commercial use. The integrated twistlock layout allows a standard 20 ft container to be positioned and secured directly onto the carrier platform. This creates a versatile vehicle that can work with different containerised solutions without permanently dedicating the chassis to one application. We even added a modified stair for easy entering the container if needed.
By engineering and assembling the body in-house, Schaften Automotive combines proven Mercedes-Benz chassis technology with a practical body solution constructed according to Dutch quality standards.
Dragon Winch 10 Ton for Recovery & Site Support
Off-road projects rarely take place under ideal conditions.
A heavy-duty Dragon Winch with a rated pulling capacity of 10 tonnes has therefore been installed at the front of the vehicle. The front-mounted winch provides additional support during challenging site operations and can be used for recovery assistance, controlled pulling operations and positioning equipment where normal vehicle traction alone may not be sufficient.
Combined with the permanent 4x4 drivetrain, differential lock and high-clearance construction chassis, the winch adds another layer of versatility for mining sites, construction areas, remote infrastructure projects and difficult-access locations.
Permanent 4x4 Mercedes-Benz Drivetrain
Reliable container transport in remote environments starts with dependable traction.
The Arocs 1836 AK uses a permanent 4x4 drivetrain with a Mercedes-Benz VG 2800 transfer case, front differential lock and heavy-duty planetary rear axle.
The straight front axle, reinforced suspension and cross-country 365/85 R20 tyres provide the ground clearance and traction required for operation on sand, gravel, mud and unpaved project roads.
Mercedes PowerShift 3 with PowerShift Advanced manages the 360 HP delivered by the OM460 engine, while the dedicated off-road driving programme adapts the transmission behaviour to demanding operating conditions.
Designed for Hot, Dusty & Remote Environments
Commercial vehicles operating in remote regions must be prepared for more than rough terrain.
This Mercedes-Benz Arocs is equipped with a cooling package for very hot regions, elevated air intake behind the cab, cyclone filter for coarse dust, construction-site filtration and an additional chassis-mounted fuel pre-filter. These factory-installed features help protect important engine and fuel-system components when the truck is operating in hot, dusty or remote environments where vehicle reliability is critical.
The steel bumper corners, towing equipment and metal headlamp protection further reinforce the vehicle's construction-focused specification.
