Drive
Brakes
The truck is equipped with automatic park brake and oil immersed brakes. Automatic YaleStop™ park brake: spring applied, electro magnetically released park brakes are mounted at the end of both motors. The park brake is automatically set by the control system, so that the brake is always set whenever the truck is not moving, and no traction has been requested. Moreover, the park brake provides controllability on ramp applications.
Steering
A 12 KW AC motor drives a pump which provides oil pressure for the hydraulic pump and for steering, eliminating the need for a separate steering motor and pump. The steering column is infinitely adjustable in a range of 26º. During cornering, the speed of the drive motors is continuously adjusted independently by the traction controller, ensuring smooth operation. Twin steer tyres provide long tyre life, low power consumption, and increased stability.
Low Lifetime Costs
Lower maintenance costs as a result of less maintenance by oil immersed brakes, electric park brake, and CANbus and AC technology. Transmission is sealed for life, eliminating the need for service. LED light packages are offered as an option. There is a 1000 hours service interval for most components. Auto Regen Braking optimises the shift life of the battery and contributes to an increase in the life of parts.
