Durability features
Durability
The front frame and rear
frame of GD955-7 keep their
performance and durability
for a long time even in
severe work.

Front frame structure

The frame is strong against bending
and twisting due to large section
structure with high tension steel
plates, simplified structure, and
optimum plate thickness. The
durability life is twice as long as
before.
Rear frame structure
The frame is light in weight and high in
durability due to “C-section structure”
with high tension steel plates.
Maintainability is greatly improved
compared with the current models by
optimizing the power line layout.

From our experience of motor grader development, we believe that industrial standard lever pattern will
provides the operator most precise operation. So that our new control system keeps same approach, but
expand comfort with the fingertip control levers next to the operator seat. And the GD955-7 still has steering
wheel, this is based on the customer feedback, who emphasize safety on road-going equipment.

Less effort
New control system reduces the movement of arm
and relieves stress, owing to ergonomic console
layout. The cab also has more room behind the
seat, gives more adjustment capability of the
backward of the seat.
