Compact articulated truck

Bell Equipment is offering a special narrow version of its B30E truck for use on-road. The machine has narrower tyres than the standard model, giving it a width of just under 3m. This allows it to be used on-road, with customers also able to specify it with a full package of road equipment such as suitable mudguards, lighting and licence plates.

Bell Equipment B30E

The same six-cylinder Mercedes diesel rated at 260kW that meets Stage V/Tier 4 Final emissions requirements is fitted to the special narrow variant as to the standard machine and this also drives through the same six-speed Allison transmission. The payload also remains the same at 28tonnes, though the dumpbody is revised to keep it within the 3m width limits. The machine offers a top speed of 50km/h and is equipped with an automatic retarder, while the dumpbody retains its heating kit to ensure efficient tipping with sticky materials. The machine has been developed to meet the needs of those earthmoving contractors or quarry firms that sometimes have to move machines on road.
