4. MACHINE CONSTRUCTION
It is an articulated machine which thus has a very small turning radius. The joint is located
midway between the front and rear wheels, thus the rear wheels follow the route of the front
wheels. The joint is firmly attached from the side in order to ensure greater stability when
loads are being lifted. The machine also drives more smoothly on uneven surfaces. The
machine is controlled by a control cylinder and Orbitrol connected to the hydraulic pump,
which facilitates rotation of the steering wheel and machine even in difficult conditions.
The gasoline motor is located in the rear. The driver's cab and lifting arms are located in the
front.
Driving forward is enabled by a hydrostatic device with a pump and 4 hydraulic wheel
motors. The four-wheel drive is always connected in order to ensure optimal tractive force/
pulling force.
The respective tools (attachments) may be attached to the machine on the front and on the
back. The tools may also be lifted with the lifting arms. Furthermore, a combination of a fork
and ball joint for towing tools and carts may be attached to the machine.
