Bell – other models: the collective page of articulated dump trucks and tractors outside the named ranges, from the 904AF to the 4206D, 67 to 310 kW, Deutz, Mercedes-Benz and John Deere engines from Richards Bay
This page gathers the machines of the South African maker Bell Equipment the register could not assign to a named range – besides tractors also the articulated dump trucks for which Bell, from Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, is best known today. Bell was founded in 1954 by the Bell family and initially built farm machinery and tractors for South African forestry and agriculture, before the company specialised in articulated dump trucks for mining, construction and forestry, now sold worldwide. Model names such as the 1206, 1756 TL4C, 2406B, 2808C or 4206D use their number to order the size and power class; the engines come from Deutz, Mercedes-Benz, John Deere and ADE Atlantis, the South African engine maker that built diesels under licence.

Bell Equipment is the largest Africa-based construction-equipment maker and, with its articulated dump trucks, present worldwide in mining, construction and forestry, while tractor production today chiefly serves the southern hemisphere.
On used articulated dump trucks, operating hours, the condition of the articulation joint and axles, tyres and the body's hydraulic cylinders count; on the tractors, engine condition and hydraulic pump; corrosion on frame and cab needs checking given service in mining and coastal climates. Parts run through Bell's worldwide dealer network.
