Arocs up to 500 tonnes
Very impressive.
This truck makes it easy for you when things get difficult: The Arocs for heavy-duty transport moves up to 500 tonnes of gross vehicle weight to the construction site and supports you on the road with numerous features.
Highlights
Move heavy loads easily.
With the Arocs up to 500 t, you can also move really heavy loads to your destination – whether forwards, backwards, uphill or downhill. With smart technology, high comfort and easy operation.
- Sensitive manoeuvring
- Working and living comfort
- Application-oriented drive programmes
Thanks to the turbo retarder clutch, you can manoeuvre with impressive precision. It protects the load with almost jerk-free transport and finely metered braking characteristics – and supports you in being able to manoeuvre with precision.
Technology
Power meets precision.
Your Arocs up to 500 t is equipped with powerful and reliable technology so that you can get heavy loads to their destination in comfort: With Euro VI-engines, PowerShift Advanced automated gearshift and turbo retarder clutch, the Arocs up to 500 t will not let you down even on extreme trips. With its highly resilient drive, it delivers the performance required in heavy-duty transport even at maximum load. To achieve this, your truck is equipped with a particularly robust chassis, suspension and frame design.
The turbo retarder clutch
Manoeuvre sensitively and to the millimetre.
Almost wear-free moving off, almost jerk-free transport and finely metred braking characteristics: the turbo retarder clutch protects the load and makes manoeuvring comfortable. At walking pace, the primary retarder provides continuous brake operation with high braking power.
You can manoeuvre particularly precisely when carrying out manoeuvres that require driving in the opposite direction to the engaged gear: this allows you to reverse with millimetre precision while a forward gear is engaged without applying the service brake. You control how fast you roll with the accelerator pedal.
The reverse is also true: if you drive forwards with a multi-vehicle combination in reverse gear when driving downhill, for example, the vehicle behind the trailer can brake and keep the entire combination stretched out. Here, too, you brake using the accelerator pedal without having to use the service brake.
Inlets in the side panelling ensure a very good supply of cooling air – so that your truck doesn’t break a sweat even during heavy-duty use.
Your truck will use very little compressed air when carrying out finicky manoeuvres, even on uphill or downhill gradients. The turbo retarder clutch operates permanently, temperature-stable and almost completely wear-free. This allows you to move the truck forwards and backwards hydraulically or to stop the truck even with very heavy loads. The advantage for you: In these kinds of demanding driving situations, you'll rarely have to use the service brake.
Safety
Attentive helpers on board.
On the construction site and on the way there: Innovative assistance systems keep you safe on the road. This allows you to detect dangers at an early stage, brake in good time and keep an overview of the traffic situation.
