Samil 50 4×4 Recovery
These trucks were used by the South African Military over a number of years and have proven to be reliable under extreme all-terrain conditions. The trucks are ideally suited to African conditions, and are widely recognised as some of the best and most versatile heavy-duty all-terrain trucks on the market.
SAMIL 50s have only recently become available to the private sector, and were immediately popular with mining groups and government institutions, NGO’s, Aid Agencies and similar organisations.
The Samil 50 has an unparalleled reputation for its rugged durability and its ability to work hard and heavy in Africa’s unforgiving terrain and climate.
