Cummins diesel engine, 6 cylinder, Model 6BT5.9, 359 CID, 118 HP @ 2400 RPM, Max Torque 312 lb-ft @1600 RPM.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM: Coolant capacity – 25 quarts (23 liter)

FUEL TANK: 40 gallon removable tank (151 liter). Welded 12- gauge steel construction.

Powershift Transmission. Three speeds forward, three reverse with dual lever controls.

POWER TRAIN: Heavy wall steel drive shaft with heavy duty U-joints to differential. Heavy duty drive axles connect differential and drive heads. Rear wheel drive is standard.

DIFFERENTIAL: John Deere 1200 series differential.

CHAIN AND SPROCKET DRIVE: Connects driving head with drive wheel. 1 ½” pitch A.S.A. roller chain with chain guard.

Four wheel hydraulic steering is standard. Single steering cylinder with double rod mounted to tie rods activates four wheel steering for improved maneuverability.

Drum- type brakes mounted in all four wheels. Parking brake mounted to differential.

Positive displacement gear pump - tandem or dual pumps. One operates steering and brakes. One operates lift and swing. Directional control valve and rotary flow divider/ combiner provide superior hydraulic lift synchronization. SAE 100R2 hydraulic hoses and standard SAE and JIC fittings. Components rated for 3000 psi, and include adjustable relief valves. Removable 25 gallon anti-surge tank (12 gauge welded steel with 25 micron in-tank return filters.

Lift function features four double acting, hydraulically synchronized cylinders mounted in pivoting lift channels. Anti-friction rollers mounted in lift channels control vertical movement. The lift cylinders connect to two structural steel shoes (8” high x 6” x 1” thick). Lifting is hydraulically synchronized for improved shoe alignment.

The swing shoe function features four hydraulic cylinders to move shoes in and out for easy positioning over loads. Exclusive Gerlinger design locates swing pivot point over the load, resulting in positive inward swing of shoes to more securely hold the load. Two levers are provided, one for lift control and one for swing control.

Independent suspension system with heavy duty steel coil springs mounted in all four corners. Springs are contained in a housings and protected against damage from dirt and moisture. External shock absorbers provide a smooth, controlled ride.

Heavy duty wheels mounted on stationary axles with tapered roller bearings. Wheel sprockets are mounted on wheel hubs and attached to wheel flanges by studs/ bolts and nuts. Wheel forks are single prong fork leg cast from high strength alloy steel to withstand shock and wheel loads. This design reduces down time for tire changing and brake service.

Heavy duty steel box construction. Each corner is box welded with rugged internal gusseting. Frame reinforced with cross members (front, center, and rear). Removable interior access panels provide superior service access to frame mounted components.
