Uncompromising quality is once again the maxim governing the assembly work. Swing and final drive units as well as the wheel loader axles are assembled on the conveyor belt while the switch units, splitter boxes, large transmissions, escalator drives, excavator and tandem axles are assembled in stationary groups. The planetary carriers and differentials are preassembled in separate working groups.

State-of-the-art testing facilities make sure that each part is repeatedly inspected during the assembly process. Standard checks for pressure and tightness are complemented by noise and braking force measurements, torsional backlash and various functional tests.

All this makes sure that each and every product shipped from the Hattingen plant satisfies ultimate standards of high tech and high quality.
