Some outstanding features of the E Series Bell ADT

An articulated dump truck that is both capable and more than ready to perform, it is no surprise that it sports a number of other outstanding features.

Equipped with a six speed planetary fully automatic transmission, it also boasts torque converter lock up, resulting in a fuel efficient ADT ready to take on the world. Coupled with some of the best payload to weight figures in its class, faster haul cycles, improved payloads and fuel economy, your costs per tonne are decreased.
Automatic Traction Control (ATC) is guaranteed in poor and tough terrain thanks to the ADT’s limited slip differentials and the electronically controlled automatic Inter-Axle Differential Lock (IDL). These dumpers for sale also have short front ends, articulated steering and high travel suspensions, helping to make tough driving conditions a breeze.
Other outstanding features you can look forward to in the Bell E Series ADT includes automated transmission retardation coupled with superior engine braking, cooling in the form of viscous electronically controlled direct-drive engine fans and dual circuit hydraulically actuated dry disc brakes with a simplified design for easy maintenance.
Cab Interior and Tech in the E Series ADTs
The cab of the E Series was designed with the operator in mind. With a spacious interior, climate control, reduced noise levels and an ergonomically positioned operator station, operator’s fatigue is reduced and, with modern design lines, visibility is increased.
The controls and instruments are not only easy to understand, but also positioned (almost wrapped) around the operator for ease. The Bell E Series ADT is also equipped with a 10” colour monitor that supplies the operator with operating information, diagnostic readings, the settings for the dump body and even safety warnings.
Equipped with an automotive controller that provides the operator with menu navigation on the 10” colour monitor, you will also find a sealed switch module offering numerous productivity settings at your fingertips. These functions include everything from Keyless Strat and Retarder Aggressiveness, to Dump Body Upper Limit and Speed Control.
Other outstanding interior features include a fully adjustable air suspension seat, adaptive transmission control, a standard sound suppression package, a full glass access door, an HVAC climate control system and a high visibility mirror.
