Steel Tandem Walkways.
Perforated raised steel walkways cover
the tandems. This provides a sturdy
platform for standing and walking, and
additional protection for the brake lines.
ROPS/FOPS Cab. Isolation mounted to
the frame to reduce vibration and sound,
the integral ROPS/FOPS structure meets
ISO and SAE criteria for operator
protection.
Operator Presence System. The Operator
Presence System keeps the parking brake
engaged and hydraulic implements
disabled until the operator is seated and
the machine is ready for safe operation.
Secondary Steering System. The standard
secondary steering system automatically
engages an electric hydraulic pump in
case of a drop in steering pressure,
allowing the operator to steer the
machine to a stop.
Speed Sensitive Steering. The steering
software automatically provides an
infinitely variable ratio between the
joystick and the steer tires, resulting
in less sensitive steering as the ground
speed increases.
Low Sound and Vibration Levels.
Isolation mounts for the cab, engine and
transmission maximize operator comfort
and help to minimize sound and vibration.
These modifications provide a quieter and
more comfortable working environment,
optimizing operator focus.
Hydraulic Lockout. A simple switch
located in the cab disables all implement
functions while still providing machine
steering control. This safety feature is
especially useful while the machine
is roading.
Brake Systems. Brakes are located at
each tandem wheel to eliminate braking
loads on the power train. In addition, the
brake systems are redundant and utilize
accumulators to enable stopping in case
of machine failure, further increasing
operational safety.
Drop-Down Rear Lights. Optional drop-
down lights fold out from the rear of the
machine. This creates a wider, lower
profile to be better aligned with
passenger cars.
