Bell has introduced a 4x4 version of its B30D articulated dump truck (ADT). The machine has the front chassis, cab and engine of the standard 6x6 but comes with a shortened rear chassis and a single axle.

According to Neville Paynter, managing director of Bell UK, the machine’s short wheelbase reduces the turning circle by around 25%, making it ideal for use in underground mining and on narrow benches. Production volumes of the 4x4 are expected to be low and will include the E series with the suspended front axle, the Allison transmission with an integral speed-holding retarder and all-round wet discs.

All E series machines come with a new cab, a keyless start system and a user settable inclinometer, which prevents the body tipping if the ground is 15° from horizontal. It also has a turbo wind-down system, hill assist and additional protection features to prevent misuse.

Production versions of the E series machines start in June.
