8.1. General description
The dumper has been built according to state-of-the-art technology and in compliance with recognised
technical safety standards.
8.1.1. Frame
The load-bearing components of the Bergmann dumper consist of a torsion-proof rigid welded
construction. The front and rear frames are connected with a centre pivot and steering cylinder. The rear
frame carries the trough and the hydraulic cylinders operating it. The diesel fuel tank is located to the right
in the front frame. The front frame bears the diesel engine, the hydraulic tank, the oil tank, the cab with
operator stand and the engine bonnet.
8.1.1. Axles, wheels and travel drive
The rear axle is rigidly mounted below the rear frame. The front axle is attached to the front frame and is
a self-aligning, flat-spring axle. The vehicle is driven by a hydro-mechanical torque converter with
downstream multi-speed powershift transmission and integrated transfer box. The converter serves as
wear-free starting gearbox, and its speed and torque can be continuously adjusted to the actual
requirements. Depending on the operating conditions, the dumper can be equipped with different tyre
sets. For further information regarding the selection of tyres, please contact our technical customer
service.
