Capabilities and Features.
2.
a. Capabilities.
Container handling capabilities:
(1)
(a) Stack or unstack 8 ft 6 in. and 9 ft. 6 in. (2.59 and 2.90 m) high ISO containers, stacked three high,
with a gross weight of 53,000 lb (24,040 kg) in the first row.
(b) Stack or unstack 8 ft 6 in. and 9 ft 6 in. (2.59 and 2.90 m) high ISO containers, stacked three high,
with a gross weight of 27,500 lb (12,474 kg) in the second row.
(c) Stack or unstack 4 ft 3 in. (1.30 m) high ISO containers, stacked seven high.
(d) Container tophandler adjusts to 20 ft (6.10 m) or 40 ft (12.19 m) ISO container lengths.
(e) Container tophandler oscillates 7 degrees left and right.
(f) Container tophandler rotates 105 degrees clockwise and 40 degrees counterclockwise.
(g) Container tophandler tilts 12 degrees forward and 8 degrees to the rear.
(h) Container tophandler side shifts 15 in. ( 381 cm) from the center on each side.
(2)
Forklift kit is operator installed and attaches to the tophandler. The fork tines are adjustable from 24 in. (61
cm) center-to-center to 81.5 in. (207 cm) center-to-center. Lift capacity is 44,000 lb (19,958 kg).
(3)
Maximum speed of RTCH is 23 mph (37 kph) on level ground with NO LOAD; maximum speed on level
ground LOADED is 15 mph (24 kph).
(4)
Maximum fording depth is 60 in. (1.52 m).
(5)
Operation in temperatures from -25F to +125F (-32C to +52C), and to -40F (-40C) with arctic kit
installed.
b. Features.
(1)
Electronically controlled 400 hp (298 kW), six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.
(2)
Electronic semi-automatic shift controlled transmission with 4 ranges forward and 3 reverse. Operator
selects range and electronic control module (ECM) controls shift points.
(3)
Drive axles provide traction for 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive.
(4)
Limited slip differentials and multi-disc-wet brakes are an integral part of the axle assemblies. Multi-disc-
wet brakes are hydraulically cooled to prevent overheating. Accumulators store energy for the emergency
braking system.
(5)
Steering system is capable of 2-wheel, 4-wheel, crab, and emergency modes of operation.
(6)
Parking brake is hydraulically released and spring-applied by disc brake assemblies mounted on the front
and rear differentials.
(7)
Operator's cab has a fully adjustable operator's seat, fresh air (filtered) ventilation system, and heater/
defroster/air conditioning systems.
