JAC launches 20-tonne N200 with third steering axle

The impetus for the creation of such a modification was the feedback from large retailers who had previously purchased two-axle JAC N200. True, against the backdrop of tightening transportation rules, customers could load cars only to 70% of their maximum carrying capacity – about 7 instead of 10 tons.

The customer may also request that the machine be equipped with a rotating axle. This version of the chassis is designed for the municipal sector and is intended to be used for garbage trucks and other special equipment.

The third axle fastening elements are specially manufactured for the Russian market in a reinforced design. The new mounts will also be used on all versions of the JAC N200 6×2 with lift axle.

The presence of a rotating axis allows not only to increase the weight of the transported cargo without exceeding weight and dimensional standards, but also to increase the maneuverability of the equipment: the turning radius has decreased from 7.7 to 6.1 m.

The chassis load capacity of the new JAC N200 6×2 with a gross weight of 19,980 kg is 13,300 kg. The load distribution between the two rear axles is standard – 50 to 50%.
