New Bell B60D to debut at bauma Africa

Bell Equipment plans to make a strong impact locally by showcasing its strides in innovation with the debut of its 60tonne articulated dump truck, the B60D. The B60D has full articulation and oscillation steering but differs from most conventional ADTs in that it has two driven axles, giving it 4x4 capability.

Bell’s new E-Series ADTs will be exhibited
1240 Bell Equipment plans to make a strong impact locally by showcasing its strides in innovation with the debut of its 60tonne articulated dump truck, the B60D. The B60D has full articulation and oscillation steering but differs from most conventional ADTs in that it has two driven axles, giving it 4x4 capability. With a 60tonne payload the company believes it will be able to move considerably more dirt than a regular ADT, at a lower cost/tonne than comparative rigid haulers. “At the same time the truck offers much better off-road capability than a rigid hauler and has the ability to work in worse underfoot conditions to increase days in production,” said Bell Equipment.

“Apart from our B60D, we will also be displaying our new B50D Ejector as well as the E-series ADT and upgraded Fleetm@tic fleet monitoring system, which were very well received at 688 Bauma Germany earlier this year,” said Stephen Jones, Bell Equipment marketing manager.

Jones says the company will also use 7459 bauma Africa to introduce the new Bomag MPH 600 soil stabiliser and asphalt recycler as well as to announce the expansion of its 718 Liebherr range of equipment in Southern Africa to include three larger dozers, the Liebherr PR744, PR754 and PR764 models. “Our stand is alongside that of our newest partner, Finlay, who will display its range of mobile material processing equipment that Bell distributes in Southern Africa.”
