Véhicule chargeur à chenilles à répartition des masses facilitant les déplacements de la benne

A rigid frame riding on tracks carries forwardly directly lift arms pivoted to towers at the central portion of the vehicle. The engine is disposed over the rear track sprocket axis and is spaced rearwardly from the lift arms providing for an operator's compartment which is between the engine and the arms and which overlaps the front of the engine. Fuel and hydraulic tanks are shaped to conform with the region below the lift arms when the arms are in the lowered position. The construction provides a weight distribution facilitating load handling and provides an operator station combining good visibility, easy access and safety.
