Technical description
Introduction
The tow tractor and the carrier have been de-
veloped to meet the most arduous application
requirements. They comply with all current Eu-
ropean directives. The tow tractor and the car-
rier have a nominal towing capacity of 6.2 to
8 tonnes and an unladen traction speed of up
to 20 km/h.
There are three different models:
●
The 7-tonne model
●
The 8-tonne model
●
The carrier model
Driver's compartment and controls
For optimal ergonomics, a low step facilitates
access to the driver's compartment. Adjusting
all the controls and the seat contributes to op-
timum driver comfort and efficiency.
The arrangement of the pedals, controls and
steering wheel (automotive), together with the
electronic control, provides smooth handling.
The accurate recording of the tow tractor's
shift time, the hour meter and battery dis-
charge indicator allow:
●
Better management of maintenance inter-
vals
●
Minimised risk of battery damage. The truck
can be equipped with an electrolyte level
sensor
Chassis
The chassis is designed for maximum strength
and rigidity. A low centre of gravity ensures
safe road handling, and its compact size en-
sures excellent manoeuvrability. The traction
motor and electronic control are protected
within the chassis but remain easily accessible
for servicing. The battery is located between
the two axles to obtain maximum stability and
to allow quick and easy removal.
Drive and transmission
A powerful 4.5-kW traction motor (AC technol-
ogy) is mounted transversely on the drive
axle. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels
through a reduction gearbox as well as a dif-
ferential.
Electrical equipment
These tow tractors are fitted with advanced
48 V microprocessor-based high-frequency
control systems.
Steering
The single front wheel steering is both light
and responsive to reduce driver fatigue. This
system ensures excellent manoeuvrability and
improves overall handling efficiency.
Brakes
The tow tractor has three independent braking
systems:
●
Hydraulic drum brakes on all three wheels
●
Automatic parking brake
●
Lift off braking. The tow tractor brakes elec-
trically and comes to a standstill when the
accelerator pedal is released
Tow coupling and carrying compartment
The tow tractor has provision for various tow-
ing couplings at the rear and an optional tow
coupling at the front.
The carrying compartment behind the driver's
seat has a load capacity of 150 kg.
Carrier
The carrier version is also available.
This allows you to carry a load of 800 kg.
Equipment available as standard or as
an additional option
