The Spicer 318 HCVT from 2254 Dana Holding is for wheeled loaders with six- to nine-tonne operating weights and telescopic boom handlers with six- to 10 tonnes lift capacities.

The 318 HCVT blends controllability with efficiency from its use of two hydrostatic motors capable of working together to accommodate several displacement combinations.

Typically configured, the Spicer 318 HCVT offers full CVT functionality without torque interruption as well as an increase in efficiency at higher travel speeds - expect more than 20 per cent more efficiency over standard hydrostatic transmissions, said Dana.

    Transmission technology continues to evolve and ZF’s cPower transmission finally serves up a CVT gearbox (Continuously Variable Transmission) suited to wheeled loader use, eliminating the need for a torque converter. Using its experience gained in the agricultural tractor sector, where CVT gearboxes have been in use for over 10 years, the cPower transmission uses a blend of hydrostatics and mechanical drives to split power throughout the entire working speed range with the aim of managing and reducing engin

    JCB has launched its first five-stage-boom Loadall telescopic handler. The 540-200 has a 20m working height and a maximum lift capacity of 4tonnes. Using the same driveline as the 540-170, the machine is powered by JCB’s 75kW Dieselmax engine. The Loadall has a four-speed powershift transmission and uses a single servo joystick to control all boom functions.

    January 6, 2017
    Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems, the joint venture Dana and Bosch Rexroth, is to launch the R2 hydromechanical variable transmission (HVT). The modular transmission uses both a hydrostatic drive and a mechanical gearbox to deliver fuel savings of up to 25% compared to a torque converter transmission. Designed to work with engine outputs of 134-193kW (180-260hp), the R2 is suitable for use in wheeled loaders, motor graders, lift trucks and a variety of off-highway applications.
