Versatile Vehicle Carries Various Cargo
Custom Chassis (customchassisinc.com) introduces the PowerPlatform vehicle that is designed as a high-speed on/off highway vehicle for agricultural, municipality and construction markets. This multi-application vehicle features four-wheel drive with lockable on-the-fly inter-axle and axle differentials, a two-passenger forward-mounted cab, a mid-mounted 260-hp Cummins engine and six-speed ZF powershift transmission. The unit also features four-wheel steering for improved turning radius and reduced compaction, as well as a standard top speed of 32 mph or an optional 45-mph speed provides a quick transport time.
The 12-foot cargo platform with optional 12-yard dump box can accommodate 26,000 pounds of cargo capacity at high speed and 44,000 pounds of cargo capacity at 5 mph or less. The PowerPlatform is available with an optional front/rear 11,000-pound three-point hitch and PTO, as well as a front/rear hydraulic swing arm suspension with a built-in on-board scale.
“The PowerPlatform is much like the skid-steer loader with the ability to mount multiple accessories and perform many jobs,” says Mike Huhn, vice president of engineering for Custom Chassis. “It is a high-speed construction site vehicle that when fitted with the quick-attach platform can be used as a water truck, maintenance truck, crane truck, plow truck, etc.”
