The truck is powered by a four cylinder diesel engine
which forms a complete unit with the torque-converter and final
drive assembly. The torque-converter dispenses with the clutch
pedal and so allows two pedal control by use of the accelerator and
brake pedals. Forward and reverse drive is controlled by a
selector lever incorporated in the transmission assembly. |

Notes |
The truck is designed to lift, transport and stack
with the aid of pallets, dunnage strips and other suitable equipment
can deal with loads of various size and bulk.
The chassis is a fabricated construction produced
from heavy section steel plate and utilises both the fuel and
hydraulic fluid tanks to form integral parts of the chassis.
The transmission assembly incorporates an epicyclic gearbox and
dispenses with the clutch pedal and so allows two pedal control by
use of the accelerator and brake pedals. Forward and reverse
drive is controlled by a selector lever incorporated in the
epicyclic gearbox. |
