Bell B45E
Building on from the D-series platform, the Bell B45E articulated truck’s evolutionary design delivers optimized power-to-weight ratio and legendary fuel efficiency. Thanks to its high power and carrying capacity, the B45E can be used to realize the most demanding earth moving and land development tasks.
Bell B40E Features
Bell E Series articulated truck line-up is extended with the introduction of the B45E, which offers a rated payload of 41 tons. Powered by the latest six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz off-highway diesel engines and driving through Allison transmissions, the large E Series ADT range all benefit from increased payloads and Bell promises a 6-7% lower cost per ton for all E Series models when compared with previous D series trucks. To accommodate the larger 7-speed transmission, Bell removed the automatic retarder on the transmission and opted to incorporate this feature into the wet brake system. The trucks have also adopted a Jacobs engine brake.
According to our motto, “Strong reliable machines, strong reliable support,” the Bell B45E is the ideal choice for heavy hauls and ambitious production schedules. This truck offers a nominal payload of 90,390 lbs (41,000 kg) and is equipped with a 523 hp at 1700 rev/min engine. The auto tailgate extends the bin capacity to 26m³, while resistant bin liners offer additional protection against abrasive loads.
