Description
TA9 & TA10 Dumper 0803-2 November 2009 5-4
Chassis
The two part chassis is of the centre pivot articulating type and
is of a design which enables both front and rear axles to be
attached directly to the chassis members.
The front and rear frames are connected in the middle by a
vertical pivot in spherical bearings and a horizontal link, which
connects between the spherical bearing of the vertical pivot and
an additional spherical bearing located in the rear frame.
This arrangement is illustrated in the diagram below and shows
full movement of the chassis in both horizontal and vertical
planes, thus ensuring maximum wheel adhesion at all times.
Chassis
Torque Converter & Shuttle Gearbox
The dumpers are fitted with an ITL PowerShuttle gearbox with
integral 4 speed synchronised transmission and a Borg Warner
Torque Converter.
This system provides 4 forward and 4 reverse speeds.
Transfer Box
The transfer box transmits the drive from the gearbox/torque
converter to the front and rear axles.
