RoadwayR Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I have always wondered about Mack's inverted camelback bogie. I only saw a few on older R models, not sure what it's purpose was. How did it compare to regular camelback, and what years was it offered?

j hancock Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Seemed to be used for line haul operations utilizing lighter weight tandems and rode a little better than a conventional setup. Think I have seen it up to about 1989 or so. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadwayR Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 What you say makes sense, seems I have seen the setup in a brochure for a Western RL 700. Never seen inverted camelback on a dump or mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Inverted camelback rode like a Cadillac. Camelback lasts longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
