What Eaton offers is a both fully synchronized and non-synchronized manual transmission which drives the big rigs. In addition, you can find Eaton produced automated manual transmissions that can be found across a wide range of applications. Equipment manufacturers from around the world rely on the experience of Eaton Fuller when it comes to transmissions that offer greater reliability, safety, drivability and efficiency.

How the Roadranger Works for Trucks

As any truck driver will tell you, driving a big rig is a different experience than your average car or pickup. The size, weight, and bulk of the big truck makes driving it a real challenge, especially on roads that are more designed for smaller vehicles and may require quick downshifting or shifting up to compensate for changing road conditions .

The Roadranger Gearbox offers a number of features that make it different than the old fashioned crash box that you find in older trucks.

Smoother Gear Change: While the Roadranger still has the familiar “crash” sound, it is not nearly as prevalent as with the older designs. This creates greater longevity and higher durability of the gears.

Greater Efficiency: One of the secrets to getting more fuel efficiency is having a sleek, clean transmission gearbox that shifts when commanded. This means that the driver can concentrate more on the road and shifting when necessary instead of being distracted by the crashes of the gears.

Modern Thinking: Eaton Fuller needs to be given credit for a unique design that has substantially upgraded the old crash box into a modern transmission system. For decades, basic truck transmission designs have been relatively the same with some upgrades over the years. Fuller’s Roadranger is a considerable upgrade that offers drivers a better system than what they had before.
