The Magirus M 10 was a pickup truck in forward control drive. Magirus produced a total of 1022 pieces of this type in 11 series between 1933 and 1937. It was the brand's only pickup truck; there was no predecessor or successor.
technology
The frame of the M 10 consisted of longitudinally continuous pressed steel girders with welded cross braces. The car had a closed cabin with only one rear-hinged door on the passenger side as standard . For the transport of long loads, the M 10 was also available with an opening front instead of the side door, comparable to the front door hinged on the driver's side of the competitor Goliath Atlas and the later Iso Isetta scooter . There was also an optional folding top instead of the fixed roof. The payload was between 1 t and 1.3 t, depending on the structure. In addition to the flatbed truck , panel vans and fire engines ( motorized syringe trucks and 12-meter turntable ladder trucks ) as well as superstructures for the military were manufactured. All versions had a wheelbase of 2400 mm.
A four-wheel drum brake (Perrot system) was operated mechanically by means of a pedal and cables ; the handbrake only worked on the rear wheels. The tire size was 5.00-18 and 5.25-18 respectively.
An air-cooled two-cylinder two-stroke in-line engine from ILO was installed under the seat, which drove the rear wheels via a single-disc dry clutch, a three-speed gearbox from Hurth (Tap G34T) and a cardan shaft. Two engine versions were available: either 594 cm³ (bore 69 mm, stroke 80 mm) with 15 hp or 665 cm³ (bore 73 mm, stroke 80 mm) with 18 hp; the maximum output was achieved at 3000 rpm in each case. Turbine-shaped blades on the engine's flywheel supplied the cooling air, which was directed to the cylinders by appropriately shaped metal sheets. Directly on the crankshaft was a Dynastartanlage that could work as an alternator and starter. The tank was installed between the engine and the seat; it held 15 liters of fuel.
The top speed of the transporter was 50 km / h.
In 1933 the price for an M-10 flatbed truck was 2,150 RM , in 1936 the chassis cost more and the panel van 2550 RM.
Meaning of the M 10 for Magirus
In the history of Magirus, the M 10 occupies an apparently insignificant place with its short construction time and small number of pieces. However, it was more important than the numbers suggest. Because he helped Magirus to survive the economically difficult period that had triggered the global economic crisis . Orders for large trucks, such as those built by Magirus before and after, were largely absent, and demand for vehicles and equipment in the area of fire protection, which made up a large part of Magirus’s business, also declined. The small and technically interesting M 10 was an addition to the sales range that should not be underestimated.
