Boosting Off-Road Traction Without Sacrificing Payload

Driving medium-duty work trucks through muddy job sites forces fleet bosses to pick between getting stuck or carrying heavy gear. Fortunately, Eaton Mobility made the new DURA4TRAK transfer case for work trucks weighing 6 to 15 tons. The two-speed system splits power evenly between front and back wheels. Consequently, work trucks get solid grip on slick ground without adding extra truck weight. The light metal body weighs just 86 kilograms, which saves crucial space for tools and heavy cargo. Therefore, work crews can drive through tough off-road spots without losing precious payload space.

Flexible Options Simplify Vehicle Body Assembly

Adding heavy drivetrain parts to a work truck often creates big headaches for busy shop builders. However, Eaton built this transfer case with flexible mounting choices to make body setup fast and simple. Body shops can pick direct or remote setup options based on the truck frame. Additionally, the unit includes a rear power port to run hydraulic pumps and specialized work gear. Drivers can switch into four-wheel drive at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour when wheel hubs lock. As a result, drivers keep moving when going from paved roads straight into thick mud or loose rock.

Lowering Repair Bills and Protecting Truck Lifespans

High repair bills can quickly turn a profitable job into a costly mess. Fortunately, the gear setup uses curved teeth that run quieter and reduce tool wear over time. The entire part lasts for up to 500,000 kilometers under tough daily work conditions. Furthermore, the two-speed setup lets drivers use standard two-wheel drive on main highways. Meanwhile, switching to four-wheel low range doubles power to pull heavy loads out of deep dirt pits. Ultimately, keeping truck weight down while boosting low-speed power helps fleet owners cut fuel costs and protect truck value.
