AUTOMATIC DRIVER AIDS
Through their Responsive Drive System ( RDS ), Cat EP25-35AN trucks seem to know how the driver wants them to behave at any moment . RDS adapts performance characteristics rapidly in reaction to the speed of accelerator pedal and hydraulic control movements . It also smooths out all stops and start .
Other automatic aids include PowerBurst , which kicks in when an extra burst of acceleration or climbing torque is needed to maintain rapid motion . Intelligent curve control ensures smooth and safe cornering , while electronic differential locking boosts confidence on slippery surfaces .
Two advances in automated hydraulic technology - the SmoothFlow hydraulic system and automatic hydraulic control tuning - enable smoother , faster , and safer load handling , optimising mast and fork movements according to load weights and lift heights . During higher lifts , passive sway control allows absorption of mast tilting forces by the chassis .
A POSITIVE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
