Pivot steer and ZF Ergo Power
Pivot steer with 12° oscillation
912D is based on an articulated chassis with two hydraulic stabilizers in the pivot. The construction is manufactured in high tensile steel in order to provide high strength and low weight.
Incredibly flexible and compact
Weight transfer through the centre pivot for maximum stability
Centre pivot ensures constant tracking alignment of the front and rear wheels, maximum tractive effort, and only one track in the terrain, thus resulting in minimum damage to the ground.
Small turning radius
Precise positioning of the rear end when unloading
Intelligent transmission
Thanks to modern technology it has become very easy to drive a Hydrema dumptruck. Electronic monitoring of the transmission ensures continuous optimum gear selection, something even the best driver cannot hope to achieve. Hydrema has equipped 912D with a 6-speed ZF ERGO-power transmission with intelligent gear selection, e.g. the transmission shifts up two gears if there is no load on the transmission. Combined with the engine's high torque, this results in rapid and smooth acceleration, even when operating with a full load.
The benefits are obvious: Engine power is utilised in the optimum manner and this means lower fuel consumption. The intelligent transmission also means a high level of driver comfort and reduces stress on the other transmission components.
