Mack Trucks Granite Vocational Truck Is Updated With A New Look And Led Headlights

Arefreshed version of the Mack Granite vocational truck debuted at World of Concrete, showing off a new, more modern look with an updated chrome grille and self-heating LED headlamps that offer brighter illumination.

The new grille and air intakes modernize the look of the Granite, and the choice of two grille treatments offers customers another way to customize their vehicles. The standard grille features blacked-out cross bars surrounding the chrome Mack badge with the optional grille being all chrome.

Self-heating LED headlights round out the updates and add to the suite of safety features already on previous Mack Granite models. The integrated heating elements automatically sense the ambient temperature and turn on to keep ice and snow from building up in colder environments and an anti-fog coating prevents condensation in warmer, humid environments to improve visibility.

The new LED technology is designed to fully illuminate the road and job site, including the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle, to reduce eye fatigue while helping operators detect objects sooner.

Safety is also improved during daylight driving through integrated amber daytime running lights that double as turn signals, making the truck more visible to oncoming traffic and on the job site.

The LED headlights are designed to be long-lasting through their high-impact polycarbonate lenses with additional hard coating protection to prevent cracking, scratching, or damage to the headlight from road or job site debris.

In the event of damage, the headlight assemblies are de- signed to be easily replaced and are also backwards compatible with earlier truck models if current Granite owners choose to upgrade.

Granite models can be equipped with a number of features that improve uptime and driver con fidence. Notably, Command Steer is available on the Granite, which makes steering the truck much easier on drivers. An electric motor combines with the truck’s hydraulic steering, and sensors monitor terrain, driver inputs, and environmental elements. The electric motor provides assists to the steering when needed, adding torque to make it easier to steer through challenging terrain like ruts, potholes, dips, and other potential problem spots. A return-to-centre feature automatically centres the wheel in forward and reverse to make tight maneuvers easier. The end result is that the driver can keep the truck on its path with less effort.

Mack GuardDog Connect telematics can be used to monitor the truck and keep track of potential issues that may arise. It allows technicians to quickly diagnose problems that may occur, and fleet managers to develop proactive approaches to repairs as well as confirmation of parts availability. Through GuardDog Connect users can also benefit from remote software updates, among other overthe-air uses.
