Built to Last

Long Frame Life

Smooth frame transitions minimize stress
concentrations and steel castings effectively
distribute input loads.
Proven design and manufacturing methods
with state-of-the-art ultrasonic testing ensure
a quality product.

Technologically Advanced
The EH1700 is designed for mining and quarry
applications where hauling those several
extra tons per trip really matters. It provides
low operating costs, unparalleled productivity,
and overall quality through its superior structure
and systems designs.

Unique Body Design

A single sloped floor evenly distributes material shedding
during dumping. A continuously exhaust-heated body reduces
carry-back of material, and muffles exhaust.
Horizontal floor and side rail stiffeners distribute load shocks evenly over
the entire body length, minimizing stress concentrations in any one area.
Closely spaced floor stiffeners reduce wear due to impact loading.

Robust Frame
The frame and suspension are designed to work together
to provide maximum structural integrity and operator
comfort. The formed rectangular frame rail construction Front Rear
provides superior resistance to bending and torsional
loads while eliminating unnecessary weight.

Reinforced Body
Built for quarry and mining applications, the EH1700 body
uses an 17 mm (0.67") floor plate and 8 mm (0.31") side
plates made of 400 BHN high-tensile steel. This provides
high resistance to wear and impact. A low loading height
and large target area allow easy, quick loading by a variety
of loading tools.
