Increased tire life, higher payload-to-weight ratio, and improved traction are three advantages resulting from revolutionary 50-50 weight distribution concept introduced by International Harvester in its new 45-ton capacity, 4×4 model 180 Pay hauler; "180" is described as tandem axle unit with wheel base of driving axles spread from 70 to 140 in. and dead front axle removed; weight saving results from design, because there is one less axle, 5 ft less frame, and tandem bogey suspension is eliminated.
