Hitachi Construction Machinery VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING Hitachi says its EH1700-3 rigid frame haul truck features a low center of gravity, a simple steering geometry, and a front trailing-arm suspension coupled with NEOCON suspension cylinders, a unique variable front-to-rear brake proportioning that maxi- mizes stop performance under slippery road conditions. The dump body features a single sloped floor that is exhaust heated to muffle the exhaust and evenly shed material during dumping. Horizontal floor- and side-rail stiffeners distribute load shocks evenly over the entire body length. Closely spaced floor stiffeners reduce wear due to impact loading. Write 4 on reader card.
