Increasing load volumes and transport speeds necessitate a robust chassis that protects the ground. PÖTTINGER has invested a great deal of effort in this topic. A rugged chassis with wide tyres is the answer.
The single-axle versions
These axles are designed for driving speeds of up to 40 kph. A wide track width is especially advantageous for working on slopes. On the low-profile loader wagons, the single axle has a track width of 2020 mm; the tandem axle 2130 mm.
Suspended tandem axle with compensator arm
The compensator arm distributes the pressure exerted on the ground evenly between the two axles. When driving over rough ground and while braking, the forces are split evenly to both axles.
Air brakes for single-axle and tandem-axle versions
Tandem axles: The 4–wheel air brake system with automatic load-dependent braking system (ALB) ensures safe braking at high speed and with heavy loads. Single axle with hand brake power regulator.
Hydraulic brakes
Hydraulic brakes can be supplied dependent on local legislation.
Overrun brake (Germany) up to 8 t overall weight
