Wheel Undercarriage System
The wheel undercarriage system provides excellent mobility and maneuverability along
with a smooth ride for optimum performance.
Excellent Mobility. The sharp turning radius and high propel
speeds allow the paver to move quickly around the job site.
Three Propel Modes. Pave, travel and maneuver modes provide
good control and versatility. The new maneuver mode provides
a 1.4 m turning radius for excellent maneuverability in tight
quarters.
Speed Control. A speed control dial located on the operating
control console allows the operator to set a maximum propel
speed. When the propel lever is moved to the full forward
position, the paver returns to the preset speed.
Steering Assist. A position sensor located in the left steering
cylinder provides good maneuverability by adjusting the drive
speed of the propel motors according to the steering angle of
the front wheels. This feature allows the machine to turn while
maintaining a consistent travel speed, leading to better mat
quality and less wear on the drive system.
Large Drive Tyres. The 16.00 x 25 radial tyres provide good
tractive effort and a smooth ride.
Large Steering Tyres. The 559 mm x 330 mm, solid rubber
steering tyres provide maximum ground contact, leading to
good turning capability.
Front Suspension. Four, front solid rubber steering wheels are
mounted on pairs of oscillating bogies, providing a smooth
ride.
Long Wheel Base. The long wheel base provides good tractive
effort and stability on soft base materials.
Front Wheel Assist (Optional). The front wheel assist feature
provides power to the front bogie wheels for additional tractive
effort.
All-Wheel Assist (Optional). The all-wheel assist feature
provides power to the front and rear bogie wheels, maximizing
tractive effort.
