[. . . ] Optimizing the unloading time is what it is all about when it comes to machine selection. [. . . ] You can load many types of machines inside a shiphold but none would provide the perfect match for the application as the Track-Type Loader can thanks to the combination of tracks giving traction, loader arm for the reach and engine at back for the machine balance.

Track-Type Loaders
Shiphold/Port Handling
Infinite Variable Speeds (hydrostatic transmission)
· Smooth controls, more operator comfort · Increased operator productivity
Joysticks for Transmission and Work Tools
· Easy to maneuver · Intuitive controls minimize training requirements
High Reach Work Tool
· Loader arm allows cleaning of the walls of the hold · Increases versatility of the machine
Track-Type Undercarriage
· Low ground pressure for better traction in some materials · Several shoe widths available or can be manufactured at order to meet customer requirements · Optional center hole shoes reduce track packing and track chain tightening which extends undercarriage life
Lifting Eyes
· Front eyes welded on the Track Roller Frame (TRF) · Rear eyes mounted on the main frame · Wide spacing for good stability during lifting
Sound
· Sound suppressed cab and air suspended seat reduce operator fatigue and increase concentration · The sound levels measured per ISO 6396 reach 74 dB(A) for 953D, 76 dB(A) for 963D and 77 dB(A) for 973D
Visibility
· Large windows all around operator and clipped engine enclosure provide excellent view to the environment and the work tool · Day and night operations are lighted with 8 halogen lights: 4 lights facing frontward, 2 lights facing rearward and 2 facing sideways

Track-Type Loaders
Shiphold/Port Handling
Rear Engine and Cooling System Location
· Improved machine balance · Engine less exposed to dust, increase engine life · Limit plugging of radiator core · Better visibility at front · Reduce O&O cost
Reversing Fan
· The air flow can be either automatically or manually reversed. Maintains proper heat transfer by blowing material out of the radiator core. EPA Tier 3, EU Stage 3A and Japan MOC · Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel measured per ISO 9249 or SAE J1349 when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, muffler and alternator · For the 953D and 963D, no derating up to 3000 m (9, 842 ft) altitude · For the 973D, no derating up to 1219 m (3, 999 ft) altitude
