SELF - PROPELLED SNOW & ICE EQUIPMENT
THE NEXT GENERATION MUNICIPAL VEHICLE
The multi-purpose PowerPlatform offers high speeds, maneuverability, a large cargo capacity and excellent operator visibility while still main-
taining a road legal 102 inch tire width. This innovative machine will become a valuable tool in snow removal.
SNOW EQUIPMENT
FOUR SEASON VERSATILITY
Attachments to the PowerPlatform can utilize the front and rear
3-point hitches and tongue hitches in addition to the front and rear
PTO. The PowerPlatform features a category III-N, 3-point hitch
with an 11,000 lb capacity. It’s PTO is designed for heavy duty
applications, offering 140 hp in the front and 180 hp in the rear. The
quick change rear platform can be easily up-fitted with sprayers,
spreaders, dumpers, silage boxes, etc. to meet multiple needs.
SPEED AND STABILITY
Fully loaded at 52,000 lb, the PowerPlatform travels up to 40 mph.
Optional gearing allows the machine to reach maximum road speeds,
with a top cargo capacity of 26,000 lb, while still providing a smooth ride.
POWER AND SMOOTH SHIFTING
The PowerPlatform is powered by a reliable 275 hp Cummins
6.7L Tier III engine mated to a 6 speed ZF powershift
transmission to provide maximum power, torque and fuel
efficiency. The full time 4-wheel drive system features a
transmission lockable interaxle differential that can be locked
“on-the-go” with the touch of a button, making sure you never
get stuck.
MANEUVERABLE
Three modes of steering and stability control create excellent
maneuverability and safety.
• Front steering
• Coordinated steering:
the rear axle wheels the opposite direction
as the front to achieve a tight 20.2' curb-to-curb turning radius.
• Crab steering:
the rear axle wheels the same direction as the front
and is useful where inclines can cause vehicle sideslip or where
individual wheel marking is preferred to alleviate soil compaction
on soft ground.
SELF PRESERVATION
Total and individual axle weights are constantly monitored to
determine if the machine is loaded, overloaded, or severely
overloaded.
COMFORT ALL DAY LONG
The PowerPlatform’s forward mounted cab provides plenty of room
for both the driver and a passenger and offers unparalleled visibility
with floor-to-ceiling glass. The spacious, climate controlled cab fea-
tures an adjustable air suspension seat, three-position steering
wheel, a cooler box, and a full size passenger seat. To keep work
going late into the night a total of 11 work lights provide almost
360 degree lighting.
CONTROLS
All controls are conveniently located on the ergonomic right hand
console (RHC) that glides forward/back and “floats” with the air-
ride seat. The multi-function joystick easily fits into the hand for
complete transmission control while simultaneously operating two
hydraulic remote circuits. RHC controls include: additional
hydraulic remote circuits, dump box control (if applicable), 3-point
hitch control and raise/lower switch, engine cruise control functions,
front/rear PTO switch (if applicable), hydraulic remote lockout,
front/rear suspension lock, axle/transmission differential lock,
4-wheel steering functions, and exhaust brake control.
DISPLAY
A 6.5 inch color LCD display provides all instrumentation and con-
trols in four easy to use screens. The Primary screen displays basic
instrumentation, fault codes, warning/indicator lamps, transmission
shift information, fuel economy, fuel remaining, hydraulic oil tem-
perature, air system pressure, and date/time. The Flow Control
screen display provides adjustment of hydraulic flow. The Weight
Control screen displays total weight along and cargo or net weight in
either pounds or kilograms. The Camera
screen displays all the standard instru-
mentation in abbreviated form
plus a rear view camera.
