The off-road grip of Caron transporters

April - May 2020 | Back

Two new series of transporters for the Italian and foreign markets. Created by Caron from Pianezze (Vicenza), they expand its catalogue with a line of rugged and versatile machines designed for use in the forestry, agricultural and municipal sectors. The CTS series is the flagship of the range, built around the innovative chassis with CHS system. The CHS technology, explains the Veneto-based company with a technical note, offers independent hydro-pneumatic suspensions with overlapping triangles, self-levelling with electronic control of the rollers, and with locking, raising and lowering functions. In other words, the suspension with CHS technology ensures traction, grip (therefore safety on slopes), stability, and high load capacity, both in off-road applications and on the road. The self-propelled machine from Caron can easily transport the most diverse types of materials on any type of terrain, even the most demanding. Powered by 4-cylinder Common Rail engines up to 110 horsepower, the CTS models offer a load capacity of up to 7 tonnes, while the traction capacity reaches 14 tonnes. The CTM series, another new entry at Caron, shares many salient features with the CTS, starting with the 4-cylinder Common Rail engines and the synchronized 36-speed gearbox (for the CTS/CTM 80.V and 110 EU6 models, the version with the 36-speed automatic/sequential gearbox is also suitable for working on slopes and developed by the Vicenza-based company) with synchronized reverser and Hi-Low. However, it stands out for the independent spring suspension system on the four wheels (those of the CTS, as already mentioned, are hydro-pneumatic). The load and towing capacities are also different from the CTS line which, with the CTM series, reach 5.5 and 14 tonnes respectively. In other words, they are in line with the production needs of a large number of operations.
