Extensive use of high-strength, lightweight materials give these trucks the best payload-to-mass ratios and hauling efficiencies in each class.

With their oscillating frame and high-floatation tyres, Bell trucks won’t leave you stuck on muddy, rutted or hilly terrain.

The redesigned sound-suppressed cab features fatigue-beating controls, advanced diagnostic monitor and a sealed-switch module for convenient, fingertip operation of numerous functions.

Fuel-efficient emission-certified engines deliver clean power without compromise in all conditions. Leadingedge emissions technology ensures rapid engine response and dependable cold-start performance.

The new E-series range takes ADT functionality to new industry standards, with customer-focused enhancements and the highest level of automated machine protection available.

Through substantial investments in Research and Development and employing industry leading technology, advancements have been made in the key areas of performance and fuel efficiency – helping you to move more material at lower operating costs and environmental impact.

Building on pedi

Building on from the D-series platform, Bell Equipment’s evolutionary approach to design delivers optimised power-to- weight ratio and legendary fuel efficiency.

Planetary powershift transmission optimises shift points to match conditions and vehicle weight while protecting the transmission from operator error and abuse.

The transfer case inter-axle differential delivers equal torque to each axle when traction is favourable. When conditions deteriorate, the diff-lock automatically engages to deliver torque to the tyres that can best use it.

High-strength steel and widely spaced taper roller bearings in the articulation area enhance long-term durability.

A tailgate is available as an option for better material retention. The tailgate opens as the bin is raised for dumping. Spring steel straps maintain positive seal throughout the haul, ensuring minimal material is lost.

Limited-slip differentials and automatic transfer case diff-lock provide real Automatic Traction Control.

The best-in-class payload-to-weight ratio means that more of your fuel cost is spent moving the material, not running the machine, decreasing your cost per tonne.

An industry leading, fully automatic six-speed planetary transmission with torque converter lock-up maximises fuel efficiency.

Automatic retardation slows the truck when the operator backs off the accelerator pedal for more confidence on steep grades and enhanced brake life.

Electronic unit injection fuel system provides high injection pressures even at low engine speed for improved cold-starting ability, low-speed response, and reduced emissions.

The short front end provides the best approach angle that allows these ADTs to attack steep terrain.

High-travel suspension keeps all tyres in constant contact with the ground, for optimum traction.

Improved payloads, faster haul cycles

 

 

and industry leading fuel economy all

 

help you move more material at a

 

lower-cost-per-tonne than your

 

competitors.

Class leading payload-to-weight ratio means that more of your fuel cost is spent moving the material and not running the machine - for maximum productivity and profitability.

With a high oscillating frame joint, articulated steering, and high-floatation tyres, these hard working haulers won’t let wet weather or steep grades dampen your plans.

Our innovative comfort ride option is available as an option to even further enhance ride comfort by ensuring minimal whole body vibration exposure.

Productivity increases, through increased cycle times, and reduced haul road maintenance are even further benefits of the simple, but extremely successful system. Long haul cycles with rough, hard roads will see maximum benefit, especially on the unladen run.

Uncompromised durability

Built smarter, to work harder. Bell ADTs offer optimised machine weights so you spend more time and money moving material and not running the machine.

With decades of ADT experience, the new Bell E-series articulated hauler is designed and manufactured using purpose built, reliable Bell components best suited for the toughest of conditions. The central oscillation joint, high suspension travel on all axles, and balanced weight distribution provide the agility and ability to navigate hostile terrain.

The high-strength steel chassis delivers strength and rigidity without excess weight.

For comfortable productivity, front-suspension damping helps minimise vibration, while a superior suspension seat reduces the

6 roll often experienced in off-road conditions.

Rough terrain demands tough suspensions. Heavy-duty components absorb shocks and come back for more. You get best-in-class ground clearance, too.

Hydraulically actuated dry-disc brakes deliver consistent “on-the- mark” braking, even in cold weather.

Simplified design makes them easy to maintain.

Fully enclosed, dual circuit wet disc brakes offer superior braking performance and extended service life essential for wet and muddy conditions. Oil-immersed wet-disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free.

Viscous direct-drive engine fans provide cooling for the best efficiency.

Class leading engine braking coupled with automated transmission retardation, provides superior braking power and reduces service brake wear.

Other uptime-boosting features include world class on-board diagnostics with live stream functionality, solid-state sealed switches and satellite fleet management system.

High-strength welded-alloy steel chassis and reinforced articulation joints, offer superior strength and durability with optimised weight for class leading power-to-weight ratio. Lower machine mass reduces powertain and structural stress.

Operate with ease

Using the latest in automotive technology and state-of-the-art tooling, the E-series takes operator experience to new heights.

Climb into the cab of a Bell ADT and you will feel right at home. Its quiet, spacious interior, ergonomically positioned operator station and climate-controlled cabin is loaded with productivity-boosting comfort and convenience features that minimise operator fatigue and enhance the operator’s experience. Modern flowing lines, in keeping with current styling trends on road vehicles, offer unsurpassed levels of visibility.

From the state-of-the-art 10” full colour screen and automotive mouse interface with centrally located sealed display unit to air suspension seat, tilt/telescoping steering wheel and optional CD player with high-output speakers, the E-series provides everything your operators need to perform at their best.

Easy-to-understand instruments and intuitive controls wrap around the operator so they’re easier to view and operate.

A user friendly 10” colour monitor offers vital operating information, safety warnings, detailed diagnostic readings and dump body function settings.

An automotive controller with menu navigation provides for simple operation of machine functions.
