“ Offroad Trucks Australia partners with major mining , construction and emergency services operations throughout Australia . The company distributes specialist Tatra trucks that have been designed , engineered and manufactured in the Czech Republic for over 80 years .
Based in Western Australia , OTA has branches in the Queensland town of Mackay , as well as over 25 other service outlets providing parts , service and technical support to customers close to their base of operations .
Spare parts for engine , driveline , suspension , and bodywork for all Tatra trucks sold in Australia are all on-site at local Tatra warehouses , ensuring maximum uptime for customers in time-critical industries .
Technical support is always current - Tatra service personnel are rotated to the factory annually for training by design and development engineers , all highly experienced in off-road operations in the most hostile environments in the world .
Tatra ’ s military and exploration reach crosses all borders , largely due to the unique Tatra driveline . The all-wheel drive systems are based on independent swing-axles that distribute traction evenly across all surfaces . Full articulation is available to each wheel , independent of its opposite number , maximising tyre tread contact with the ground .
Electronic axle and inter-axle diff locks are driver controlled , and all axles are supported on Tatra ’ s unique tubular backbone chassis , which is built in modules , allowing drive and steer axle extensions as the application demands .
As a result , Tatra trucks have the unique reputation of taking high gross weights across terrain that brings other all-wheel drive trucks to a halt .
The air-cooled V8 diesel engine is renowned globally for durability , and the absence of cooling fluids and plumbing systems is a major advantage in locations where ambient temperatures are extreme , and support is hours or even days away .
The recent availability of Allison automatic transmissions and a ROPS / FOPS integrated cab extends the useability of the Tatra range .”
