Brockway Trucks History
Brockway is an American company known for its dump trucks and other special vehicles. It existed from 1912 to 1977. The basis of production was taken from the car building plant, formed back in 1875.
The Second World War brought the company more fame, thanks to a 6 ton dump truck with a 6 x 6 drive. Their patency during the war became legendary. They were used in various operations, they successfully built fast fortifications with their help.
At the end of the First World War, Brockway specialized in models with a payload capacity of 1.5-5.0 tons with the gadgets of other manufacturers. Already in 1917, the chain drive replaced them with cardan ones. The "S2", "K3", "K" R2 "and" T "models were of the same design and were equipped with Continental or Wisconsin motors, Brown-Lif boxes with Timkken bridges, pneumatic tires were available on request only for light models In the year of 1928, 5,500 trucks were produced, and the profits from their sale allowed the company Indiana to be bought back, but during the great depression it had to be sold to White.
Since 193x, Brockway has started producing and lifting trucks from 250 kg to 7 tons. To reduce costs, the company offers the same chassis for equipping them with gasoline or electric engines. By the mid-30's. "Brockway" has already started up 26 hood models of the "X" series (from "78X" to "260" with a carrying capacity of 1.5-9, with 6-cylinder engines "Continental" powerful 71-135 hp and 5-speed gearboxes In 1934, Brockway produced one of the heaviest trucks at that time - a 30-ton V1200 with an American LaFrance engine with 240 hp, which provided the car with a speed of 72 km / h. The Second World War strengthened financial position of the firm, which built 1165 army 6-ton trucks model "666" (6x6) modeled on a car company "White."
In the early 50's. "Brockway" offered 20 models, which became the development of pre-war models. The novelties on the heaviest 260X series are only Eaton 2-speed rear axles and cabins with a sleeping place. Gradually the company began to lose its won positions: if in 1946 it produced 4212 cars, then in 1954 - only 611. The result did not take long to wait: in August 1956 Brockway became a division of Mack. Having initially relative independence, the company in 1958 introduced a new series of hood trucks Huskie or Husky with the logo in the form of a dog of husky, who worked in sled dogs in the northern American territories.
In 1961, this range consisted of 16 models with a gross mass of up to 17.5 tons, which first appeared diesel Cummins and Detroit Diesel with a capacity of 125-200 hp, and later Caterpillar. Increased influence of the company "Mack" began in 1963, when a heavy 3-axle series "400" installed a cab over the engine from trucks "Mack" series "F", later applied to a series of 2-axle tractors "500".
