Details
Vitrac is powered by the KDW 1404, a modern, compact, low-maintenance engine by Kohler that weighs only 98 kg / 216 lbs. Its low profile and deep positioning in the frame ensure a low center of gravity. The engine steering assembly is located in the cylinder head and is driven by a maintenance-free belt. This four-stroke diesel engine features a cast iron cylinder block and a water-cooled design, with the engine head made of a special aluminum alloy. Operating at a working speed of 2,600 rpm, the engine is both fuel-efficient and low-noise.
Thanks to its large radiator, Viroc stays cool, even on scorching days, efficiently cooling the hydraulic oil and engine under high external temperatures. The protective grille can be easily removed without tools for cleaning, simplifying maintenance, and ensuring the cooling system runs at peak performance.
Before the air even reaches the filter, it is pre-cleaned by an additional cyclone separator.
Vitrac’s diesel engine drives an electronically regulated dual axial piston pump: the first pump, responsible for propulsion, supplies 100 l / 26.4 gal of oil, while the second pump, delivering 50 l / 13.2 gal at 250 bars, powers the accessory units. Additionally, there are two gear pumps for steering and cylinder movement. All hydraulic components ensure optimal efficiency and a long service life.
Only electronic components tested and designed for off-highway applications are used to control the vehicle. All mechanical safeguards and switching elements have been substituted where possible by shortcut-proof and overload-proof components so that nothing can get in the way of trouble-free and comfortable operation!
