Cummins N14-C400 Tubo Charged and Aftercooled, 4 stroke, high torque rise diesel engine, Tier 1/Stage 1 certified emmision level.

Ether cold start aid with optional oil & coolant heater.

Cyclone cleaner, main filter of paper type and catch-all safety filter.

Extraction fan mounted on engine.

Allison CLBT 754. Automatic planetary-type transmission with built-in retarder and 2nd gear start.

Allison TC-498. Torque converter integral with transmission with lock-up on all gears (except reverse).

Fully floating axle shafts with planetary hub reductions.

Optional tires, brands and treads available.

Note: Certain job conditions may require higher TKPH (TMPH) in order to maintain maximum production. Evaluating the job conditions and consulting the tire manufacturer to make proper tire selection are recommended.

Load volume complies with SAE J/ISO 6483.

Approximate change in Net Machine Weight:

One three-stage telescopic cylinder, two stages are double-acting. A hoist stop is built into the cylinder.

Load-sensing hydrostatic system.
One engine-driven piston pump mounted on the transmission's power take-off. Common pump and reservoir for steering and hoist.
Steering is always given priority over the hoist system.

Uses dual circuit air-operated drum brakes on all four wheels. Brake system complies with ISO 3450

Circuit 1 supplies the front brakes. Circuit 2 supplies the rear brakes.

Separate circuit. Spring-actuated drum brakes on all four wheels.

374 L/min (13.2 cfm)

Foot-operated valve activates retarder incorporated into the transmission.

Load-sensing hydrostatic steering system of closed-center type.

Double-acting, one for each wheel, mounted between the steering knuckle arm and brackets on the front axle.

One engine driven, variable piston pump mounted on the transmission's power take-off. Priority is always given to the steering system over the hoist system.

A supplementary steer pump is activated when the pressure in the system falls below 0,5 MPa 73 psi. Meets J/ISO Emergency Steer System Requirements.

Two 12-volt batteries connected in series.

ROPS-tested and approved steel cab. Cab mounted on rubber pads in the center-of-gravity line. Heat and sound insulated. Heater and defroster. All windows of tinted safety glass. Cab Meets J/ISO 3471

Sprung and shock-absorbed with arm rests, head restraint and seat belt. Adjustable to operator's weight. Individual adjustment of both seat and backrest. Seat for instructor.

Same suspension cylinders on all four wheels.

A fabricated box beam A-frame connects the wheels to the machine frame through a well-sealed spherical bearing, and gas-over-oil suspension cylinders. This three-point mounted axle provides excellent oscillation and stability.

Similar to the front axle, the rear suspension utilizes an A-frame structure bolted to the rear axle. The assembly is connected to the main frame by a spherical bearing at the front, and two air-over-oil suspension cylinders in the rear.

When the machine is loaded, the main frame rests on the rear axle for maximum stability.

Robust body made of hardened and tempered abrasion-resistant steel plate. The longitudinal stiffeners, made of high-grade steel, eliminate stress concentrations and distribute the force from impacts over the entire length of the body. A flat, sloping floor with rugged, uniformly spaced stiffeners ensures high durability.

The body is geometrically optimized to provide a compact yet spacious unit with a low load height and a low center of gravity for efficient loading. Rubber pads between body and frame.
Exhaust-heated body.

Robust construction with beams of carefully selected steel grade with high yield strength. Main beams of all-welded box section with a minimum of joints. Cross members, gussets and brackets have smooth junctions to the frame. Stresses are distributed evenly over the entire frame.

All vital parts such as engine, transmission, differential and hub reduction are easily accessible for service and maintenance.
