New Landing Gear And Streamlined Product Offering
SAF-Holland has announced that it has streamlined its North American landing gear offering with the introduction of the Atlas and Classic Series. The Holland Mark V Series will retain its position as the flagship model in the Holland Landing Gear product line. Market accepted features and technologies from former Binkley, Austin-Westran and Holland products have been integrated into both the Atlas and Classic Series’ product lines. All Atlas Series models will feature a three-gear Constant Mesh gearbox, as well as FloatingNut and TwinBulkhead. The first release in the Atlas Series, the Atlas 55, will offer a 170,000 lbs. load capacity, a 30,000 lbs. side-load capacity, and a 55,000 lbs. lift capacity. It will be followed by the release of the Atlas 65 in early 2011 with even greater load capacities.
The Classsic Series offers many of the same engineering features as the Atlas Series, but with a more cost-effective two-shaft Constant Mesh gearbox design and lower capacity ratings to meet the market demand for value performance. The Classic has a 140,000 lbs. load capacity, a 27,000 lbs. side-load capacity and a 39,000 lbs. lift capacity. SAF-Holland Write 102 On Reader Service Card Or visit successfuldealerdigital.com/info
