Advantages and Features
RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON
- Reduce downtime and operating cost through improved serviceability, fuel economy and reduced maintenance, maximizing availability.
- Major components are modular, so most can be removed and reinstalled without disturbing other components for peak repair efficiency.
- C13 engine has been optimized to be as efficient without compromising performance. Eco mode can be activated to control high engine idle speed and ensure the engine is performing as efficiently as possible, offering additional fuel savings.
- Center shift section of the front frame is a heavy-duty steel casting improving stress distribution for enhanced durability.
- Rear frame structure is lengthened providing easy access to components in the engine enclosure as well as improved machine balance.
- Front axle steering cylinder enhances durability and hydraulic lines are routed to improve reliability.
- Modular cooling package provides simple removal and installation of components on the cooling system reducing service time.
- Engine enclosure doors provide complete access to the engine without any enclosure post.
- Extended maintenance intervals reduce the number of touches and downtime.
- Fluid monitoring systems help prevent critical components from damage when levels are low.
- Information Display in cab shows service/maintenance concerns and diagnostic codes are logged.
PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTIVITY
