Ease of Operation
COMMAND CAB III
Double wall construction of 11 gauge inner and outer steel panels produces a more structurally sound cab.
Foam rubber lining material along with foam rubber backed carpeting and multiple layered floor mat act to absorb sound and control interior temperature.
A properly maintained cab from Hitachi, tested with doors and windows closed per work cycle procedures in SAE J1166, results in an operator sound exposure Leq (Equivalent Sound Level) of 81 dB(A).
A three-point rubber iso-mount arrangement to the deck surface minimizes vibration to the operator compartment.
Superior Suspension
The Hitachi ACCU-TRAC suspension system delivers excellent maneuverability, even at higher speeds. The trailing arm layout offers greater ease of servicing while improving truck performance compared to suspended king-pin designs. The pivot mounting of the trailing arm design allows only axial input to the strut and allows wheel movement to the vertical plane only.
Features
- Lateral forces that act on the front wheels are minimized, resulting in reduced tire scuffing.
- Dynamic friction (side-wall force) within the strut is low due to the features of the ACCU-TRAC design, allowing the use of a lighter strut engineered to a smaller diameter and longer stroke.
- The necessary frame bulk (horse-collar structure) needed to mount a suspended king-pin is non-existent.
- The elimination of the "horse-collar" member provides greater engine access.
- The NEOCON strut used with the ACCU-TRAC suspension, improves operator and component isolation, provides better hauler stability and predictable operational control.
- Locating the king-pin close to the wheel assembly and at a slight angle results in low "Dry Park Steering" effort.
- Development of the compressible media, NEOCON-E (TM) fluid (proprietary, silicone based, environmentally friendly) for use in the suspension strut with Helium gas, results in an improved energy absorption (isolation) system and an improved energy release (stability) system that responds favorably whether traveling empty or with payload in a wide range of ambient temperatures.
The ACCU-TRAC suspension design allows the front struts to be removed and installed without removing the trailing arms, brakes or tires. This relates to fewer tools and less labour required to perform the repair, which aims to reduce the amount of hauler downtime, increasing productivity.
Auto-Lubrication System
A pump fed system automatically applies grease to lube points via plumbing.
The lubricant is automatically delivered in time controlled and metered quantities to all connected lube points in the system.
Centralized Fire Suppression System (Optional)
This dry chemical fire suppression system can be activated manually or automatically.
Immediately upon activation the dry chemical agent is expelled from many stratigically placed nozzles.
