Italian Astra trucks

The company Astra, which celebrated its 65th anniversary in 2011, is part of the Iveco concern. The cars produced by it, being partially unified with similar models of the parent company, primarily for engines and transmissions, are designed for operation under more severe conditions, and therefore have a stronger and more durable running gear.

ASTRA HD9

The base family of trucks HD8 HD is a reduction from Heavy Duty, which translates as a heavy mode replaced the family of the previous generation HD7 in 2005. It includes a whole range of biaxial, three-axle and four-axle rear-wheel and all-wheel drive models, among which there are truck tractors designed for towing semitrailers weighing more than one hundred tons, universal chassis and dump trucks. They are equipped with Iveco Cursor engines from 310 to 560 liters. with., which are equipped with a proprietary motor brake and in the basic version are combined with mechanical 16-speed gearboxes ZF. Specially for these cars, fiberglass cabs have been developed on a strong tubular frame in four basic variants. The total weight of triaxial dump trucks reaches 40 tons, four-axle – 50 tons.

To work in quarries based on Astra HD8, the company produces specially modified Astra HHD8 (Heavy Heavy Duty) dump trucks with a 6X6 wheel arrangement. To withstand more severe operating conditions, they received additional reinforcement of the chassis and more sturdy bodies.
