The E-Series models are equipped with an updated 7-inch high-resolution LCD monitor for easy access to onboard diagnostics, digital gauges and vital system indicators
Bolstered with big updates, the new 370E, 410E and 460E articulated dump trucks (ADTs) are designed to keep materials moving and profits flowing. The three models are highlighted by an EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV John Deere PowerTech diesel engine and a pressurised Deere-designed cab - both of which combine to boost productivity and uptime, while minimising daily operating costs.
"The new E-Series articulated dump trucks are the result of our most important asset, our customers," said Mark Shea, ADT product consultant, John Deere Construction & Forestry. "We worked with our customers to find out what they need in an articulated dump truck to make their jobs more safe, efficient, and productive.
The E-Series is equipped with several features to accommodate these requests. Efficiency and productivity are boosted by standard best-in-class diff lock and powerful transmission retarder; while safety is paramount through ground-level daily service, auto horn, rollover protection and remote park-brake release."
Designed and built in Dubuque and Davenport, Iowa, the E-Series ADTs feature 422 hp (370E), 443 hp (410E) and 481 hp (460E), delivering impressive power and torque with exceptional power-to-weight ratios and fast cycles. A purpose-built ZF transmission includes eight forward gears and four reverse gears, and a high-capacity retarder to increase service brake life.
In addition, the John Deere hauler axles are designed for heavy-duty applications and include on-the-fly differential locks and outboard planetaries, and each axle is independently pressure lubed and filtered. The E-Series axles use internal wet disc brakes that utilise independent cooling circuits.
Perhaps the biggest change to these new models is the updated cab. The ultra quiet, redesigned cab is sealed and pressurised to keep out dust and noise, affording enhanced operator concentration and efficiency.
