The KRONOS 140 4WDM forestry trailer has a sturdy
set of bogey axles based entirely on mechanical transmission,
with the power generated by the drive shaft being transmitted
via a drive gear and a differential gear system to the bogie
housings on both sides of the machine.
There is no elastic or disc clutch inside the bogey housing,
the gears being in constant contact with each other. Road
safety is guaranteed via multiple-disc brakes.
A standard fixture of the drive gear is its differential
gear lock, which enables all four wheels to pull at the same
speed. The trailer's set of drive shafts is provided with
an overload clutch to deal with inadvertent overloading. The
gear ratio between the tractor and the trailer has been adapted
in the trailer's front-end gearbox, the gear ratio of the
trailer being variable by changing a pair of gear wheels or
the entire gearbox.
When the trailer is being pulled with the power transmission
off, the set of drive shafts is disengaged, freeing the front-end
gearbox from unnecessary rotation, and thus making the trailer
easier to pull.
