Bell Equipment will be showcasing three new products at NAMPO, each designed to add value to an operation and make work easier whether you need precision grading, powerful haulage, or versatile material handling.

The much-anticipated Bell Motor Grader, which goes into full production in Q3, is the showstopper. The range offers three base models, available in four-wheel drive or six-wheel drive to suit a customer’s specific needs. These machines are powered by quiet and efficient Cummins engines paired with smooth ZF transmissions, ensuring reliability and fuel efficiency. Designed for longer roading, Bell Graders feature enhanced trunnion bearing life and integrated axle cooling, extending brake life.

A precision-sealed circle bearing ensures exceptional grading accuracy while minimising wear and maintenance. The hydromechanical transmission with tandem axle creep provides superior control, while the cantilevered ripper ensures the most effective ripping angle. Additionally, an on-the-go automatic differential lock delivers traction precisely when needed.

In addition, Bell Equipment is expanding its trusted Series 5 Tractor range with a 4x4 200hp model, the Bell 2006AF, which will be on display. Offering more power for an improved power-to-weight ratio and increased fuel economy, this model is a game-changer for those requiring a robust and efficient agricultural workhorse.

Powered by a robust and reliable John Deere engine that delivers 785Nm of torque through an Allison automatic transmission, the 2006AF achieves haul speeds of up to 40km/h and handles undulating terrain with ease, thanks to its automatic 4x4 feature, which detects wheelspin and engages 4x4 until full grip is restored. Rear disc brakes provide safe and effective braking performance.

A prototype, tested extensively by a Namibian customer, has already clocked over 5 000 hours hauling 40-tonne loads of timber on haul cycles of up to 65km and had earned the title of “the best machine on site."

The JCB 3CX Pro Backhoe Loader completes the line-up and is engineered for maximum efficiency and cost savings. Featuring a redesigned ROPS/FOPS-certified cab for improved visibility and safety, this machine enhances operator comfort and productivity.

A simplified single-lever loader control with an integrated directional switch allows for one-handed operation, while the EasyShift transmission streamlines gear changes. Enhanced hydraulics with a variable flow pump further improve fuel efficiency.

Powered by a 68.6kW turbo engine, the JCB 3CX Pro is equipped with seat-mounted servo controls, a front 6-in-1 bucket, and optional tools like flip-over forks and an ‘extradig’ dipper for added versatility.
