Mainframe Strength
Helping you get more done with maximum availability, the durable design of the mainframe makes repair and maintenance easy. The D11T/D11T CD mainframes are built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces during severe dozing and ripping applications. It is not uncommon to see these machines rebuilt several times using the same frame, with only minor welding.
- Frame rails have a full box section design which keeps components rigidly aligned.
- The main case, equalizer bar saddle, and front cross member are heavy duty steel castings incorporated into highly loaded areas of the mainframe to improve stress distribution for improved durability.
- Top and bottom rails are made from continuous rolled sections which provide superior mainframe durability.
- The main case elevates the final drives well above the ground level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants.
- The pivot shaft and pinned equalizer bar maintain track roller frame alignment and allow the roller frame to oscillate for smoother ride.
- Heavy cast saddle has a ribbed design which increases frame life.
- Tag-link blade mounting brings the blade closer to the machine for excellent maneuverability, machine balance and blade penetration.
