The Bell E series range of wheel loaders is driven by a mechanical driveline.
QUICK TAKE
The choice of a driveline is one of the principal influencers of a wheel loader’s efficiency on site
“The driveline choice directly impacts wheel torque, machine responsiveness and fuel efficiency.”
Stephen McNeill, marketing manager – Alliances at Bell Equipment
The hydrostatic driveline is more efficient in short cycle loading as the power losses are not as high as with a torque converter
The Continuously Variable Transmission is a combination of a hydrostatic driveline and mechanical transmission. It’s an efficient but complicated and very expensive solution
A key benefit of the mechanical drive is the provision of high end torque at the wheels and its simplicity to maintain
