For operators who need a serious piece of equipment for heavy transport, this 2006 model offers a strong mix of power, durability and recent mechanical care. Rated to 90 tonnes and equipped with a 550hp Cursor engine and ZF automatic transmission, it is built for demanding work where reliability and performance really matter. This truck sits in the sweet spot between capability and value, making it a smart option for businesses that want a well maintained unit without the new truck price tag.
Located in Lexia WA and available for inspection, this unit has been cared for over the years, with key components refurbished or replaced so the next owner can hook up, load up and go to work with confidence.
Power and Driveline Built for Heavy Loads
550hp Cursor Engine for Serious Pulling Power
The 550hp engine provides strong pulling power for heavy combinations and demanding freight tasks. With a 90 tonne rating, this truck has been set up for serious haulage where engine performance and torque delivery are essential. It is well suited to long regional routes, resource sector work, and heavy on road applications where consistent power under load is a daily requirement.
ZF Automatic Transmission for Easier Operation
Fitted with a ZF automatic transmission, this truck helps reduce driver fatigue and makes work in traffic, on hills and in stop start environments more manageable. Automatic shifting takes care of gear changes, allowing the driver to focus more on road conditions, positioning and safety. For fleets with multiple drivers or for those who prefer easier operation, this setup is a practical benefit.
Hydraulics, Refurbished Turntable and Recent Upgrades
Factory Fitted Hydraulics
With hydraulics already fitted, this truck is ready to work with a range of trailing equipment that relies on hydraulic circuits. This is a major advantage if you are running tipping gear, certain trailers or specialised equipment that needs hydraulic power. Having this installed and ready saves both time and additional setup expense.
Refurbished 90 mm Turntable
The turntable has been refurbished, giving extra peace of mind when it comes to coupling and heavy load handling. A well maintained turntable is critical for safe articulation and steady control under braking and cornering. Refurbishment means wear items have been addressed, helping ensure smoother operation and less risk of unexpected problems.
New Radiator and Recent Rear Shock Replacement
A brand new radiator has been installed, supporting cooling performance and engine reliability, especially during long hauls or hot Western Australian conditions. New rear shocks were replaced around 12 months ago, which helps with stability, ride quality and better tyre contact on uneven surfaces. These kinds of upgrades show that the truck has not been neglected and that key systems have been kept in good working order.
Safety and Practical Details That Matter
Near New Tyres and New Beacon
Near new tyres reduce immediate replacement costs and help ensure traction and braking performance are up to standard from day one. A new beacon has also been fitted, which is particularly useful for work in mine sites, civil projects and other environments where visibility and compliance with site rules are important.
Mechanically Sound and Well Maintained
The truck has been described as well maintained and mechanically sound. This is supported by the list of recent work: refurbished turntable, new radiator, recent rear shocks, near new tyres and beacon. Rather than facing a long list of items to repair after purchase, a buyer can step into a truck that has already had much of the essential work completed.

Why a Pre Owned Heavy Prime Mover Can Be a Smart Choice
Buying a well maintained used prime mover can be a smart financial move. Instead of absorbing the steepest part of depreciation, you can step into a proven truck that has already had key repairs taken care of. For many operators, the goal is to balance capital outlay with reliability, and a truck like this fits that approach.
With recent work completed and a clear price point, budgeting becomes more straightforward. You know what you are paying, what has already been done, and where the truck is located. That clarity saves time and helps in planning work allocation once the truck joins your fleet.
This 2006 Iveco Powerstar Prime mover offers a combination of power, towing capacity and recent mechanical upgrades that makes it a strong candidate for anyone looking to add a heavy haul unit in Western Australia.
