The Ultimate Ice Resurfacer 29
The OLYMPIA is available in either mainly structural stainless steel, or structural black steel
chassis design. This applies to the chassis, the conditioner, the snow dump tank, the frame of
the snow tank cover, the steel structure of the driver’s platform and all metal parts that, for
technical reasons, should not be manufactured from any other material.
The electrical control cabinet is made of aluminium.
Self-supporting chassis
The chassis consists of 5/16” thick structural steel tube. It is supported on the front and rear
axles. The front axle is designed as a oating axle. The rear axle is designed as part of the
main chassis welded directly to the main frame rails. As well the battery holders, the driver’s
platform and the mountings for the conditioner, the brush and other parts are part of the
chassis.
The control cabinet, the snow bin cover, all parts of the hydraulic system, power supply, water
supply and panelling are bolted to the chassis.
The front axle
The front axle is of structural tube steel construction. It holds the front drive units (gear with
motor), and the hydraulic steering components.
The drive units are supported in spindles attached via upper and lower king pins. They
absorb all radial forces. The vertical forces are absorbed by a bearing ring. This extends the
serviceable life of the bearing assembly.
Coupling of the front drives consists of two solid, adjustable steering links, which are
connected to the gears via link ttings.
Steering is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder that is mounted between the steering links of the
front wheels at the axle. In conjunction with a hydraulic orbit control and the hydraulic pump,
this arrangement ensures smooth and low-maintenance steering.
