The DT-2604 truck has a rated load capacity of 23,636 kg (52,000 lbs.). The load-sensing variable displacement hydraulics reduce heat and fuel costs, while improving the life of the hydraulic components. In addition, the optional automated lubrication system keeps the DT-2604 working longer, harder, and more productively.

The DT-2604 truck, like all Joy trucks, is designed specifically for ease of use and maintenance, with simple operation gauges and a rugged long-life structure, providing the lowest possible total costs of operation including low capital costs.

Designed for safe operation and maintenance

The DT-2604 includes multiple features that are designed to maximize safety for both the operator and the maintenance staff:

• ROPS/FOPS canopies and cabins provide protection from falling rock or rollovers
• Fail-safe braking system features a spring-applied braking system that activates when low hydraulic oil pressure or electrical failures are detected
• Operation interlocks prevent accidental machine activation
• Three-point mounting and anti-slip steps minimize slips and falls
• Hot component isolation to prevent burns

Designed for reliability

The DT-2604 has been designed for reliability and long component life, including the following features:

• Rugged steel frame
• Choice of engines from Mercedes and Cummins that are EPA and MSHA certified and feature clean emissions and class-leading fuel consumption
• MIL (military specification) components that meet international standards
• Heavy-duty all-mechanical powertrain featuring Dana components for a rugged platform and long service life; the powertrain, combined with load-sensing hydraulics, mean excellent maneuverability, faster ramp speeds, and a more comfortable ride
• Hydraulic systems with piston pumps
• Severe-duty electrical system
• Collet-style pins for lower wear and reduced maintenance

Designed for ease of maintenance

The DT-2604 includes several key features that reduce maintenance times and costs, including:
