Multiple disc clutches and brakes meet SAE J1026 at APR90

Hydraulically released, spring applied
Cooled by pressurized oil
No adjustment required
Each assembly serviceable as a unit
Clutch hand controls
Two brake foot pedals
Mechanically actuated, spring applied parking brake

Counterweights

Provides machine stability

Fully hydraulic, single-lever control
Layout-pivot point design provides good side and ground clearance
New design gives better visibility

Undercarriage

Tubular design resists torsional loads

Lifetime lubricated rollers and idlers are directly mounted to roller frame
Roller frames attach to tractor by pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar
Large pivot bushings operate in an oil reservoir
Optional high flange track guiding rollers
Recoil system fully sealed and lubricated

Number of shoes (each side)	44

Winch and Boom

Boom and hook drawworks are driven by independent hydraulic winches.
Oil-disc brakes provide smooth operation, positive retention of boom and hook positions.
Modular design allows fast replacement, easy field service and testing.
Infinitely variable speed controls for both boom and hook allow precise control.
Tubular, cast-steel boom is rugged, delivers better fatigue life.
Replaceable boom-mount bearings.
Symmetrical boom simplifies installation.
Emergency free-fall function on load line control allows the operator to drop the load quickly.
