Extremes are no problem for VITRAC: With its dual articulation,
this vehicle can manage a turning radius of about 80° without losing its
stability. The central positioning of the central joint means that the
turning axle runs parallel to the vehicle’s longitudinal axis even
during steering, and the electric proportional valves allow even the
smallest steering movements to be carried out with absolute precision.
Manoeuvrability & soil protection
Steering becomes child’s play with dual articulation.

Narrow, compact and manoeuvrable
With its precise steering, an overall length of 2.25 m or 2.55 m and a width VITRAC can enter the next row straight away without repeated manoeuvring from a row distance of 1.30 m. And with zero tail swing to worry about, the driver need only take care of the front.
Perfectly balanced
VITRAC’s front section is perfectly balanced, as the internal combustion engine and the hydraulic components are laid out centrally with the driver’s weight positioned above the centre of the wheel. The back section of the truck is also balanced, as the sprayer is located above the centre of the wheel. The entire machine is, therefore, in perfect equilibrium with barely any pressure on the central joint.
Stable chassis
VITRAC combines maximum stability with lightness. The intricate structure of the high-tensile steel frame is both lightweight and stable. To prevent damage from collision, the underside is armoured with front and rear steel panels. The central joint also guarantees perfect ground adjustment.
Soil protection thanks to low weight
The truck’s weight was kept at a low 750 kg in order to preserve the sensitive bio system of the soil. Owing to the tyres’ optional width of 25 cm, pressure on the soil is also low. The symmetric design of frame and steering ensure that the wheels run in precise tracks, which means no tension in the drive train and a vehicle that is gentle on the ground.
