R 70
Capacity 6.0 - 8.0 tonnes

THE R 70 FOR 6.0, 7.0 AND 8.0 T
The big R 70 bristles with technical refinements to face the biggest challenges. It is powerful, yet compact and precise, and with far fewer wearing parts than usual. Unlike conventional transmissions with many wearing parts, torque conversion on the R 70 is achieved through an electric motor. In addition to this the R 70 brakes electro-magnetically and wear-free – from full speed right down to a standstill. Hydraulic disc brakes provide additional safety. Thanks to the electronic controller, inching and plugging is also much simpler: without an inching pedal the driver can drive smoothly and slowly and simultaneously hoist and tilt quickly.

For safety: trucks with an 8.0 t capacity come as standard with dual wheels at the front (a narrow track width optional). These can be supplied on request on trucks of 6.0 t and 7.0 t capacity.

THESE ARE THE BIG HIGHLIGHTS:

• Greater economy due to diesel-electric drive principle and the variable-displacement hydraulic pump
• Ergonomically improved due to reduced oscillations and vibrations of the rubber buffer-mounted driver’s cab
• More easily serviced with electric motors providing torque conversion
• Quieter thanks to speed-optimised diesel engine
• High economy, low fuel consumption and lower emissions thanks to modern water cooled DEUTZ engine with turbo-charging and charging-air cooling
