Chassis

The chassis system consists of the frame, hitch, steering and suspension. These components work together to form the basis of a true off-road hauler. Heavy-duty front and rear frames are joined by the rotating hitch to eliminate frame twist and to ensure good ground contact. Self-compensating hydro- mechanical articulated steering provides steering accu- racy in high-speed operations as well as rough terrain mobility. Operator comfort for high average speeds is maximized by the three-point suspension concept with independent wheel movement.

Advantages • Rotating hitch gives superb off-road mobility and eliminates frame twist. • The combination of the hitch and articulated steer- ing provides good traction and off-road mobility in demanding applications. • Heavy-duty frame designed for severe off-road operations. • High hitch placement maximizes stability and ground clearance. • Permanent greased hitch bearings eliminate all ser- vice, leaving more time for production and reduc- ing operating cost.
