Extra Ground Clearance for Underbody Scrapers

Mack Trucks recently released its Mack Granite Axle Forward model with 6 extra inches in the chassis ride height for more ground clearance for underbody scrapers, making it ideal for snow removal. The Granite model also grants:

• A full range of motion for the underbody scraper to articulate in excess of 45 degrees in both directions, enhancing the ability to remove snow in the winter and grade roads in the offseason.
• A shorter wheelbase for greater maneuverability and decreased weight.
• Simple plow installation without the need to move other chassis components like fuel tanks and exhaust after-treatment systems.
• Availability with the Mack MP7 or Mack MP8 engine, and the mDRIVE HD 14-speed automated manual transmission with creeper gears.
• The Mack ClearTech One single-package exhaust after-treatment system, which combines the diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction and diesel exhaust fluid into one unit.
• Mack GuardDog Connect, the company’s diagnostic and repair planning system to enable the quick diagnosis of issues, proactive scheduling for repairs, and confirmation that needed parts are in stock and ready to install, all while the truck is still on the job.
