BELL Dump Trucks Service, Repair Manuals

BELL

Bell Equipment is a South African heavy-equipment maker founded in 1954, now operating globally and best known for its E-series articulated dump trucks (ADTs), including 4×4 variants with payloads up to 55 t (e.g., B60E). 

From the late 1990s, Bell and John Deere ran a strategic alliance: Bell-designed ADTs were sold in the Americas under the Deere badge (starting 1999), with North-American production shifting to Deere’s Davenport Works in 2005. Deere later launched its own ADTs (E-series) as the licensing arrangements wound down. 

In 2020, the companies announced they would end their longstanding relationship, and Bell expanded its direct U.S. presence via Bell Trucks America. Today, Bell and Deere compete head-to-head in the ADT market.
