Suspension and Traction Control
Performance and Productivity.
Front Suspension
The three-point front suspension oscillates ±6° to provide
a smooth ride, allowing the operator to travel at speed over
rough terrain and softening impact loads on structures and
components. Large bore, low pressure cylinders are purpose
designed for tough applications and offer a soft, smooth ride.
Enclosed, Oil-Cooled Brakes
Multi-plate, oil-immersed brakes are fitted to both front
and center axles. These brakes provide outstanding stopping
capability, while maintaining maximum durability and low
wear characteristics.
Rear Suspension
Features a walking beam geometry with Caterpillar designed
rear suspension mounts which provide a reliable and stable
ride for excellent load retention.
Traction Control
The traction control system is comprised of a wet clutched
inter-axle differential and wet clutched cross-axle differentials.
All differentials can be engaged and disengaged on-the-go for
maximum versatility. When used together, the differentials
provide 100 percent driveline locking.
Inter-Axle Differential Lock
Locks all three axles in unison and modifies torque distribution
for excellent traction in poor underfoot conditions and on
grades. It is operated by a switch located at the footrest.
Cross-Axle Differential Locks
Provides full driveline locking – all three axles and all six
wheels – for maximum performance in the most adverse
conditions. Acts in unison with the inter-axle differential
lock when the footswitch is actuated and the dash-mounted
switch is selected.
