The CLAAS chassis.
The exclusive CLAAS chassis design is based on a modular bolted frame construction, which offers significant weight savings in comparison with conventional axle assemblies. A choice of mechanical suspension with parabolic springs or a hydraulically suspended chassis is available. Thanks to the modular design, some tandem axle models can have axle loads of 18 or 20 tonnes, or with tridem axles as much as 27 or 30 tonnes.
The brakes.
The CARGOS features generously dimensioned brakes for optimal operating safety in the field and on the road.

Optimal tyres.
Individual tyre sizes.
Depending on the model and requirements, CARGOS can be equipped with a choice of tyre sizes to suit all operating conditions – 22.5", 26.5" or 30.5".
BKT 710/50 R 30.5
ALLIANCE 885 800/45 R 30.5
Maximum soil protection: 30.5".
A maximum-size contact area is easy on your wallet and on the soil: improved roll-off and roll-over behaviour with 30.5" tyres, for example, makes for extremely fuel-efficient loading operations and road travel.
Alliance I 380 750/45 R 26.5
The best of both worlds: 26.5".
Large-size 26.5" tyres ensure optimum trailing characteristics, especially on wet ground.
This large tyre size with a large contact area and easy roll-off behaviour provides an excellent solution when focusing on limiting wagon height.
Vredestein 710/40 R 22.5
A low centre of gravity and wide footprint: 22.5".
Smaller tyres provide a very low centre of gravity, giving maximum stability on slopes, especially in hilly terrain.
