The Ultimate Ice Resurfacer 29
MILLENNIUM
H
The OLYMPIA Millennium H has a Mig welded structural chassis. This applies to the chassis, the
conditioner, the snow dump tank, the frame of the snow tank cover, the steel structure of the
driver’s platform and all metal parts that, for technical reasons, should not be manufactured
from any other material.
Self-supporting chassis
The chassis consists of 5/6” wall carbon steel. It is supported on the front and rear axles. The
front axle is designed as a floating axle. The rear axle is designed as part of the chassis which is
welded directly to the mainframe rails. As well as the the driver’s platform and the mountings
for the conditioner, the brush and other parts are part of the chassis.
The snowbin cover, all parts of the hydraulic systems, engine, transmission, water supply and
paneling are bolted to the chassis.
The front axle
The front axle is of structural tube steel construction. It holds the front drive units, and the
hydraulic steering components.
The drive units are supported in spindles attached via upper and lower king pins. They
absorb all radial forces. The vertical forces are absorbed by a bearing ring. This extends the
serviceable life of the bearing assembly.
Steering is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder that is mounted between the spindles of the front
wheels at the axle. In conjunction with a hydraulic orbit control and the hydraulic pump, this
arrangement ensures smooth and low-maintenance steering.
