Drive
Brakes
The fully automatic park brake is applied once the truck stops and is de-activated, once the accelerator pedal is pressed. The standard Auto Deceleration System automatically slows the truck when the operator’s foot is removed from the accelerator pedal, extending brake life.
Steering
The 36.0kW AC motor drives a pump which provides oil pressure for all the hydraulic functions and steering, eliminating the need for a separate steering motor and pump. The gas spring assisted steering column is mounted on the truck’s cowl providing unrestricted floor space. It is infinitely adjustable in a range of 26° and is contoured for easy on/off access. Telescopic adjustment of 75mm and memory tilt are available as an option. The continuous Stability Enhancement System is a passive mechanical system that optimizes steer axle geometry to reduce truck lean by limiting articulation. Transmission of surface shocks and vibrations to the operator and load when travelling over uneven ground conditions are also reduced. The system is 100% maintenance free.
Low lifetime costs
Lower maintenance costs are delivered through reduced maintenance. This reduction is primarily achieved through the use of Hall Effect sensors, 'O' Ring face seals, an electric park brake, CANbus and AC technology. The VSM (Vehicle Systems Manager) monitors and controls key truck components and systems. The advanced thermal management system monitors component temperature and gradually adjusts performance to prevent damage to key components. Auto regenerative braking also reduces service brake usage contributing to an increase in the life of parts. 1000 hours service intervals are standard on most components.
