Agricultural An ever-growing world population, coupled with an increasing appetitefor biofuels, will continue to boost demand for agricultural machinery in the decadesto come. Agricultural customers are looking to increase the yield from their landand improve efficiency in harvesting their crops — all while complying with evolvingemissions standards and improving operator safety and comfort.Agricultural products vary greatlyfrom region to region, and OEMs mustsupply a wide variety of vehicles to helpfarmers bring their crops to market.Through advanced technology andstreamlined operations, Dana servesas a major supplier of drivetrainsspecifically designed for the uniquedemands of agricultural tractors,articulated and non-articulated tractors,vineyard tractors, compact tractors,specialty harvesting equipment,and combines.Dana proactively addresses the specificrequirements of the agricultural marketby producing front drive axles anddrivetrain products that are ruggedenough to work on uneven groundunder constantly heavy loadingconditions. Spicer ® front drive axles foragricultural machinery are engineeredwith optional wet service brakes toenable high-speed transport.With a complete portfolio ofsuspended axles, Dana suppliestechnology that allows agriculturalequipment to work faster and maximizeproductivity while keeping operatorscomfortable and alert.AgriculturalSpicer ® drivetrain systemshelp maximize yield andimprove efficiency.

Construction Every construction vehicle performs a different task on the job site,but they all have a few characteristics in common. As demands for productivityincrease, they all must perform at high levels of efficiency with little maintenance whileworking in hostile environments that exert high torques and loads on the equipment.Dana supports a broad range ofconstruction vehicles from four to55 tons (3,600 to 50,000 kilograms)with axle and transmission solutionsthat deliver the required tractive effort.Spicer ® high-horsepower pump-drivesolutions provide responsive lift-cycletimes for buckets, scoops, stabilizers,forks, and other hydraulically drivenaccessories.ConstructionTraction is key for both productivityand safety on the varied, uneven, andunpaved terrain found at constructionsites, and Dana offers several torquebiasingdifferential options, eachcustom-engineered to suit specificground traction conditions acrossvehicle applications.Drivetrain systems for constructionequipment are designed withinternal, fade- and maintenance-free,liquid-cooled brakes, lube-for-lifedriveshafts, and other innovations thatminimize equipment downtime andmaintenance costs.And Dana addresses operatorfatigue through electronic controlsthat improve shift quality and reduceacceleration jerk while supplyingseamless transitions for the entirerange of equipment maneuvers.OEMs rely on Dana to produceintegrated drivetrain systems fora variety of equipment used onconstruction sites, including wheelloaders, wheeled excavators, telescopicboom handlers, aerial work platforms,compactors and rollers, backhoeloaders, wheeled cranes, pavers,haulers, and ditchers and trenchers.Traction is essential onconstruction sites, and Danaoffers several torque-biasingdifferential options.14

Forestry and Mining Vehicles used in forestry and mining operate in themost severe environments in the world, and yet they are expected to moveenormous volumes of materials quickly to waiting trucks or a central staging point.Working continuously in remote, inaccessible locations, this equipment is subjectedto abuse from the elements and rough treatment from operators.Dana has designed complete drivetrainsystems that supply improvedpositioning, traction, braking, andreliability, as well as many other uniquefeatures specifically engineered tomaximize the productivity of forestryand mining vehicles.Spicer ® axles for forestry and miningequipment offer many differentialdesigns that supply the excellent torquebias performance and requiredtraction on varying ground conditions.For example, the Hydraloc torquebiasingdifferential provides optimummaneuverability and traction on thewidely varying ground conditionsfound in logging environments.Dana maximizes flexibility for vehicledesigners by offering converter andtransmission packages with integral,mid-mount, and remote configurations.Spicer transmissions also featureinnovations such as advanced chargepump systems, which provide increasedoil flows to maximize performance inhigh-energy duty cycles as well ascold temperature environments.Simple and reliable liquid-cooled brakingsystems increase stopping powerand decrease brake temperatures bydistributing the braking effort over a highpercentage of the axle surface envelope.In fact, the Posi-Stop fail-safe servicebrakes predominantly used in rampmining vehicles are world-renowned fordelivering high-integrity, high-reliabilityperformance through spring-appliedhydraulic-release (SAHR) actuation.Dana makes customized drivetrainsystems for high-volume forestryvehicles including log skidders,feller bunchers, tree harvesters,and forwarders.Mining vehicles using Dana drivetrainsinclude scoops, shuttles, mine trucks,load-haul-dumps (LHDs), personnelcarriers, self-propelled blast-hole drills,and site utility vehicles.Forestry and MiningThe Spicer ® Model 58R397 axleis designed for high-performance,low-maintenance operation onlarge load-haul-dumps (LHDs)and mining trucks.15

Material Handling Working around the clock and seven days a week to movehigh volumes of goods, material handling vehicles are the key to profitability in thetransportation industry. Speed and load capacity are particularly important, becausefaster turnaround time — and therefore higher volume — equals a better profit margin,with safety a key requirement as well.Material HandlingDana supplies OEMs with drivetraincomponents for a wide variety ofmaterial handling vehicles from two-ton(1,800-kilogram) forklift trucks to 50-ton(45,000-kilogram) reach stackers.These drivetrains are equipped with thepower to handle any load, combinedwith simplified controls to increasehandling and safety for operators witha wide range of skill levels.Spicer ® transmissions supply reliablepower for accessories used to engage,lift, and transport heavy loads managedby an advanced electronic controlsystem that provides electronic clutchmodulation (ECM), electronicallycontrolled inching (ECI), and safetyinhibit protection.Performance and safety are enhancedwith an oil-immersed wet brake system,available on even the smallest materialhandling vehicles. Utilizing a fullyenclosed design, these brakes aresealed and protected from water, dirt,and other contaminants encountered inports, terminals, container yards, heavyindustry sites, and distribution centers.Wet brakes also help keep bothequipment and operators working atpeak efficiency for extended periods oftime by reducing brake wear and noise.Dana produces drivetrain componentsand complete systems for manufacturersof forklift trucks, reach stackers, straddlecarriers, terminal tractors, railroadterminal tractors, and gantry cranes.Spicer ® drivetrains for materialhandling vehicles are designedwith the power and precise controlneeded to maximize productivity.16
