June 26, 2007 • Dana Corp., Toledo, Ohio, announced today the availability of the HSR08 transmission for telescopic handlers with side-mounted engines. This transmission accommodates the short wheelbase of these vehicles and allows for a high level of maneuverability and ground speed control.

 

Unique in its design, the HSR08 powershuttle transmission offers an engine-dependent mechanical PTO for implement drives and second auxiliary pump drive, while retaining an overall length shorter than competitive hydrodynamic transmissions.

 

“The new HSR08 was engineered to address the compact nature of these vehicles, where the space demands of Tier 3 engine cooling packages are adding further constraints,” said Alan Stoyell, Dana product director. “At the same time, a mechanical PTO option is offered in response to demands from the agricultural sector for increased vehicle versatility,”

 

The HSR08 transmission features horizontal offset output and offers four forward and reverse speeds for balance of tractive effort and travel speed. A 300-mm diameter torque converter matches to 120-hp engine ratings and an 800 Nm input torque capacity.

 

It comes standard with an auxiliary pump drive and helical gears for low noise. The electrohydraulic control system ensures smooth forward/reverse shifting. An optional second auxiliary pump drive also is available for applications that require additional hydraulic demand, and a disc park brake is fitted on the transmission output.
