HBM NOBAS BG 240 T-4

Grader

The BG 240 is one of the most powerful graders worldwide. Its hydrodynamic tandem drive provides an extremely high torque at the four rear wheels for starting and guarantees excellent acceleration even under full load. In combination with the hydrostatic front wheel drive (AWD), it can handle the heaviest jobs without difficulty. When the ground conditions are very difficult, the standard installed differential lock can be engaged on the front and rear axle to prevent spinning of the wheels. This makes the machine ideal for difficult jobs on building sites as well as for maintenance work on unpaved roads in complicated environmental conditions and for other extremely heavy grader work. There is more to it than that: With our drive philosophy we account for the demand on flexibility with high-speed grader works. By applying the torque converter lock-up (optional), the BG 240 changes into a machine with direct mechanical drive without conversion loss in the drive line. Its travelling performance with a maximum speed of about 50 km/h in this mode speaks for itself. Now, with the BG 240, complicated shifting and controlling by the operator are things of the past. After selecting the required mode, the grader is able to adjust automatically to the requirements of the particular operating mode. The grader is alternatively equipped either with NAIS (rods) or with joystick controls. Good panoramic view and ergonomically designed controls further facilitate the operator’s work either in the standard cabin or the optional low-profile cab.
