With a true 41 tonne payload and unique design features, this machine offers excellent driving stability, equal weight distribution and superior traction. These features include a free swinging rear tandem bogie, forward-mounted turning ring and sloping rear chassis. Its exclusive transmission design increases power, torque and weight distribution, while the automatic internal retarder in combination with the engine exhaust brake provide outstanding retardation without using the service brakes, greatly reducing maintenance costs over the life of the machine. Exceptional operator comfort is given by the semi independent hydro-pneumatic front axle suspension and the quiet (72 dBA), spacious cab. Safety is enhanced by the unsurpassed operator visibility, while the simplicity of operation reduces driver fatigue.
