This powerful 6-cylinder 5.8Ldiesel engine delivers excellent power to meet the needs of the most demanding applications.DB58S diesel engines comply with EPA emission regulations.
Operator Pedals
The operator pedals are set out in an automotive style with the accelerator, brake and inching pedal ergonomically positioned to reduce operator fatigue even during long shift operations.
The pedal shafts are mounted under the driver compartment floor to give a clear, spacious area.
Steering
The fully hydrostatic steering system with its tapered roller bearing steer axle, is designed to outlast conventional steering systems, in high impact applications. With no mechanical connections between steering wheel and steer axle the operator enjoys low-effort steering and faster steering response.
Infinitely variable gas strut operated steering column adjustment ensures a comfortable driving position is easily achieved.
Disc Brakes
A shoe brake system is standard with the option of oil cooled disc brakes which eliminate outside contamination, and decreases maintenance costs. They have service intervals of five times longer than conventional shoe brakes. Oil-cooled disc brakes are recommended for applications in humid, abrasive or corrosive environments. They are ideally suited to ramp loading and unloading applications.
