Designed to match the output of the smaller excavators, the 3 Cubic Yard Shuttle Dumper was built primarily for off-road operation. Powered by either diesel or petrol engine of 42 B.H.P., with four forward speeds and two reverse, it will carry its full load up any gradient where the wheels can grip. Over rough ground its stability inspires confidence, whilst driver fatigue is lessened by ease of control, easy riding and good visibility. The system of two-way steering and control eliminates reverse driving hazards-the driver can always face the direction of travel. It permits easy working in narrow gully cuts or tunnels and speeds the get-away from the excavator when space is restricted. Whilst gravity tipping can be employed, positive ejection of the load is assured by a patent device utilizing the torque reaction of the brakes. This device also permits controlled tipping.
