Advanced chassis engineering to protect the ground

8-wheel chassis for your benefit

Protecting the ground is gaining in significance due to the use of heavier machines and heavier axle loads. The 8-wheel chassis on Jumbo loader wagons distributes heavy loads over a large surface area to minimise pressure transmitted to the ground. More efficiency and power for your benefit. Find out more about this technology and operational experience from the field.

  • The tridem chassis distributes high loads across a large footprint so that the pressure on the ground remains low (0,83 kg/cm2)
  • Lower fuel consumption, 20% savings
  • Up to 50% lower traction requirement in the field
  • Lower loading height
  • Optimal driving comfort due to hydraulically dampened suspension

Practical experience:
„There are no tracks to be seen, even under the most difficult conditions. The hydraulic swing-axle compensation of each wheel pair permits incredible stability, especially when operating on slopes. To say nothing of the engine smoothness. I’ve carried out a rigorous cost-benefit analysis. The higher price pays for itself thanks to having attracted new customers because of the low-compaction system, the lower traction requirement in the field and the lower loading height which shortens the forage’s journey into the loading chamber. All in all, it’s like another world. You have to use the trailer yourself to fully appreciate its value.“
