Latest transmissions developments from ZF Services UK prove popular ZF Services UK, one of the newest members of the Construction Equipment Association, sees rising demand for its 8EP range of large ERGOPOWER (LII) transmissions. Their Nottingham facility is now fully equipped to service the entire ERGOPOWER range. ZF Services recently revealed its latest addition to the Ergopower range, the 8EP (LII) transmission, as used in articulated dump trucks. With its forward-thinking approach, ZF UK has been developing and producing parts for the construction equipment sector for decades, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023. The 8EP range is available as a new or remanufactured unit from its UK Centre of Competence in Lenton, Nottingham as part of its ‘Remanufacturing Excellence Programme.’ A crucial part of this transmission is the ‘ZF Direct Drive Lock-Up Torque Converter,’ delivering fuel saving and a high level of economic viability, specially developed for construction machinery, with engine torques of 500 to 2,600 Nm and hydrodynamic diameters from 280 to 440mm. For decades, ZF’s UK Centre of Competence has had the capability to service the ERGOPOWER range of power-shift transmissions widely used in construction, material handling and airport ground support (ASG) equipment, known as ERGOPOWER S, M and L ranging from 2 speed to 6 speed, up to a 320 KW engine match. This new development means that the state-of-the-art ZF facility can now fully service the entire ERGOPOWER range, including the 8 speed ERGOPOWER LII.
