Was chit chatting with a few drivers in work today, we where discussing a company down the roads latest purchase, an old Scania T500 tag lift. Truely a rare sight in the UK, we believe there intention is to convert it into a show truck (they currently have a chromed up R560 they take to truckfest Scotland & others I think). Anywho we got chatting about the actual usability of such a truck and honestly couldn't think of a single advantage to the T cab (which may explain why its no longer made rolleyes ).

Genuinely curious if anyone on here knows what they where primarily used for, probably slightly embarrassing but nobody present for the discussion was old enough to hold a licence in 2005 when they discontinued the truck so we may have been missing something biggrin. The only one I could see was maybe less 'tag-bounce' from sitting nearer the centre of the chassis, also the cab seems to sit slightly lower so potentially better blind spot visibility. (like a P cab)
