The first light-rescue trucks had gross vehicle weight ratings from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds and payloads of 2,000 to 4,000 pounds. At that time body manufacturers were building mostly from steel. When the body was fabricated and only a small amount of equipment added, the unit was overloaded.Today the light-duty rescue can be built on a two- or four-door cab chassis with GVWR up to 19,000 pounds for two-wheel drive, and 17,500 pounds for four-wheel drive. This range allows for more options and greater flexibility.

Like all of Bobcat''s skid-steer loaders, the A220 can accommodate myriad-powered and nonpowered attachments everything from angle brooms and augers to wheel saws and whisker brooms. And it''s that versatility, along with the all-wheel steer capability, that has the company licking its chops in anticipation of a range of new markets. "We have several test machines in the field right now at a wide variety of customers," Fitzgerald said. "We''ve got one at a recycling plant where they''re running in scooters all-wheel steer 100 percent of the time because of tire wear. They''ve taped the switch so the guys can''t run in skid-steer mode. They''ve got three other machines there and they go through approximately $12,000 worth of tires a year. If the plant can reduce its tire cost significantly, the price difference between an 863 and A220 can easily be justified. The other area of concern is a landing area by a conveyor. Current operating methods wear out the concrete surface. Grooves get worn deep enough into the concrete that they need to mill it out and repour the concrete. The A220 is a lot easier on the surface.

7. Upgraded tests for brake lining classifications. Trade associations like the SAE are establishing standards to offer closer tolerances on friction characteristics that would be improvements over the standard edge-code markings. One computer model test revealed that an 80,000-lb tractor trailer traveling at 60 MPH would stop at 241 feet with OEM lining and 302 feet with replacement lining even through both had the same edge-code markings.8. Non-asbestos and semi-metallic brake lining have replaced asbestos brake lining to comply with US environmental protection regulations. The track record on the new lining has been good, and no major problems have developed.9. Long stroke brake chambers are now replacing the conventional types. Consider that the Type 30 brake chamber offers 1/2 inch of reserve stroke before the piston bottoms out and braking force is lost. A long-stroke chamber provides three-quarters-inch of reserve stroke. Also, look for visible adjustment indicators to ensure proper brake adjustment.
