This is how Leonhard Weiss hauled sand and brick to the construction site

Leonhard Weiss founded in 1900 already is a construction company that dynamically traversed the roads of the Federal Republic during the years of Germanys Economic Miracle and that relied on the dependable air-cooled Magirus lorries made in Ulm. The square hood from the sixties is still considered to be a perfect emblem of its time as the highly manoeuvrable construction material transporter tirelessly supplied the construction site all day long. The square hood with short wheel base and tipper was one of the main drivers of Germanys Economic Miracle as it supplied the sand and bricks that were needed. Similarly to Leonhard Weiss, other construction businesses put their trust in this compact tipper and came to appreciate this air-cooled howler from Ulm. WIKING is releasing the Magirus square hood with a fresh chassis and a new flatbed in an effort to close a gap in the model maker's lower weight class. The flatbed can, naturally, be set upright, causing the freely swinging tailgate to open automatically.
