Drive
AC Technology
The AC technology traction motor is suitable for the most arduous applications with smooth forward and reverse directional changes.
Brakes
The fully automatic park brake is applied when the truck stops and is de-activated once the accelerator pedal is pressed. The Auto Deceleration System (ADS) automatically slows the truck when the operator’s foot is removed from the accelerator pedal.
Steering
The AC motor drives a pump providing oil pressure for all the hydraulic functions including steering. The adjustable steering column is mounted on the truck’s cowl providing unrestricted floor space. The maintenance free Continuous Stability Enhancement system (CSE) optimizes steer axle geometry to reduce truck lean by limiting articulation. Transmission of shocks and vibrations to the operator and load when travelling over uneven ground conditions are reduced.
Low Lifetime Costs
Lower maintenance costs are achieved primarily through the use of Hall Effect sensors, ‘O’ Ring face seals, an electric park brake, CANbus and AC Technology. The Vehicle Systems Manager (VSM) monitors and controls key truck components and systems. An advanced thermal management system monitors component temperature, gradually adjusting performance to prevent key component damage. Auto-regenerative braking reduces service brake usage contributing to an increase in component life. 1000 hours service intervals are standard on most components.
