Technical characteristics

Engine

Model RD32 equipped with Cursor engines with a displacement of 10 litres. The version of the RD 40 is set Cursor power unit with a displacement of 13 litres. Both engines TIER 3 with an electronically unit injectors and camshafts due to the excellent performance of torque throughout the rev range and a new exhaust brake in the exhaust system provide excellent elasticity cars and great stopping power, which is very important in the operation of a vehicle on site. 
Modern technology allows achieve high fuel efficiency, resulting in a significant increase in fuel economy while respecting environmental standard TIER 3. On the RD 50 is set high performance engine Deutz 680 cv TIER 3, which gives the highest power density among trucks weighing 50 tons. Torque 2800 Nm already available at 1300 rev / min.

transmission

Automatic transmission with selectable Eco mode or Power. Lock all gears. "Maintenance-free" universal driveshaft.

Frame

The frame consists of rectangular beams made f steel with high tensile strength by molding. The increased width between the side members provide high torsional stiffness, excellent driving stability and optimum position and tipping: cylinders arranged in the frame, have a short length and fully protected from damage. 
Used on the RD 50 central annular box element guarantees a high degree of torsional stiffness and bending and also improves the level of comfort.

Suspension

Front Suspension

Car suspension provides great comfort, safety and production efficiency of the vehicle and the operator.

  • Independent driven wheels
  • Hydropneumatic cylinders (gidroazotnye) with the function of the shock absorbers.

Rear Suspension

Semi-independent suspension with the reaction rods for RD32 and balances on the RD 50 and transverse thrust Panara allows you to easily overcome the difficult terrain: two double acting hydraulic cylinder with the function of the shock absorbers are installed in front of the bridge, so they have great speed and optimally absorb vertical vibrations, providing maximum comfort.

Cabin

The entire model range complies with ROPS-FOPS. The cab is designed for operator: rounded lines, excellent review, insulation and improved ergonomics for maximum safety and comfort control. 
Front panel with electronic devices allows you to track all of the functions of the car.Multiplex system installed on all model line RD, for fast troubleshooting writes data in vehicle 3 levels of memory corresponding to the engine, transmission and vehicle.
