General points
The Tornado3 Horizon is the flagship product of the range of JOSKIN muck spreaders with narrow body and spreading table. Their basic concept is based on the Tornado3 with vertical beaters and has the same basic principles: lightness, sturdiness and easy maintenance. Both durable and extremely maneuverable, the Tornado3 also proves to be economical, both from a budgetary and energy point of view. Thanks to its specially low, narrow body combined with wide, large-diameter wheels, it provides an easy traction and a great ground clearance (for less pressure on the ground), whatever the terrain.
Narrow Body
At first glance, one might think that a narrow body has less capacity than a wide one, but when comparing volumes, it quickly turns out to be an optical illusion. This is because the narrow bodies are lowered and have side walls that are a little bit higher than on muck spreaders with a wide body, for an easier loading. The monocoque body as well as various other components, such as the drawbar and the beater frame, are made of high tensile steel. This steel is characterised by its resistance and dynamic properties. It is thereby not necessary to add any body side reinforcements and it offers a considerably reduced empty weight. For maximum protection and therefore an increased durability, the Tornado3 Horizon is also treated with a 2K industrial paint. The 1,370-mm high body has a loading capacity from 11.50 m³ to 17.60 m³ (or even more if extensions are added). The moving floor consists of 2 Ø 16 mm marine chains with grade 80 (the highest grade in traction chains currently available) bolted to slats with closed profiles.
