Mercedes Benz Arocs Turbo Retarder Clutch TRC

Sometimes it is a question of inches even for the big boys among construction vehicles. Maximum precision is of the essence when tractor units with loaded low-bed trailers are labouring to get to their destination, when bulk goods are being spread at slow speed and special-purpose vehicles such as concrete pumps are being manoeuvred. Frequently this also calls for sheer power, for example during off-road operations in surface mining or lumber transports. In these cases the turbo retarder clutch, which is optionally available for the Arocs, aids the driver and protects the drive components. The one-of-a-kind turbo retarder clutch in the Mercedes-Benz Arocs combines a hydrodynamic starting clutch and a retarder. As a result, it ensures a wear-free start and strong braking power. The optionally available turbo retarder clutch is one of the special features of the Mercedes Benz Arocs. It combines a hydrodynamic starting clutch and a retarder in a single component and has already proven its merits in the new heavy-duty tractor units Actros SLT and Arocs SLT. The turbo retarder clutch is compact in design. It is lightweight and serves at the same time as a very powerful retarder. It enables wear-free starting with fine control as well as manoeuvring at slowest speeds – both of importance for many uses of a construction vehicle.
