Dana Nears Start of Production on Spicer® Axles for Rough-Terrain Cranes
Dana has built on its leadership in supplying transmissions and driveshafts to the crane market by offering axles with superior pick-and-carry, over-end, and over-corner load-lift performance. In addition to rough-terrain cranes, these axles can also accommodate aircraft ground-support pushback tractors.
These axles were developed at the Dana China Technical Center with engineering support from Dana's other global technology centers. They will be manufactured by Dana in Wuxi,
"With decades of experience serving off-highway heavy axle applications, Dana has the technical expertise to deliver reliable, full-system solutions that keep machines running in demanding environments," said
Using a monolithic axle construction to enable the highest integrity design for demanding tractive load and carry conditions, this lightweight series of axles can enhance vehicle performance and maneuverability on any terrain. These axles have been designed on a customizable platform with the flexibility to meet specific original-equipment manufacturer needs.
An optimized length and wheel bearing system fits the most popular tire track width applications, and a proven sealing system handles extreme duty environments to ensure a long lifespan. In addition, a robust straight tie-rod design minimizes the likelihood of obstacle impact during operation.
Dana will debut its complete drivetrain system for rough-terrain cranes at Bauma China in hall N5, stand 210. To learn more, visit www.dana.com/offhighway.
