• maximum safe load: 6000 kg

• overload volume: 3150 liters

• level volume: 2550 liters

• water volume: 1650 liters

• reinforced steel base 8 mm
  

• Power Swivel system with 180° total rotation range

ENGINE AND POWER FOR HEAVY CONDITIONS

The Thwaites 6-ton dumper with a +/-90° swivel dump is equipped with a reliable turbo diesel engine Yanmar 4TNV98CT with water cooling, direct injection, and DPF particulate filter. Specifications:

• power: 53.7 kW / 72 hp at 2100 rpm

• torque: 295 Nm

• 4 cylinders, turbo, emissions aftertreatment

The engine is optimized for low consumption and stable traction under full load.

DRIVE, SPEEDS, AND MANEUVERABILITY

The model uses a hydrostatic transmission with high and low range, a column lever for direction, and a precision movement function. The Thwaites 6-ton dumper with a +/-90° swivel dump offers:

• speed 1: 6.1 km/h

• speed 2: 25.0 km/h

• equal speeds forward and backward

• turning radius: 12 m

• This provides excellent control when working in tight construction sites.

WEIGHT AND TRANSPORT PARAMETERS

For planning transport and logistics:

• empty weight: 4240 kg

• transport weight: 4116 kg

These values make the machine suitable for easy relocation between different sites.

BRAKES AND TERRAIN STABILITY
