- Maximum economic efficiency with up to 10% fuel saving combined with maximum operator comfort with effective noise reduction
Smart Attach (fully hydraulic quickhitch system)
- Coupling of hydraulically driven attachments with the automatic connection of the hydraulic circuit, without the need to get out and in
- Increased productivity as a result of cost and time savings
- Attachments changed within seconds for full flexibility
Entry and exit from both sides
- Increased safety thanks to entry and exit on the side facing away from traffic
- Increased flexibility thanks to access from both sides
7" LCD display
- All relevant machine data at a glance summarised on the display
- Operating and setting the machine’s parameters easily and intuitively using the jog dial
- Safe jog dial operation possible, even when driving
Further Highlights
All-wheel steering
- High stability even at full steering lock thanks to the undivided frame
- Maximum maneuverability thanks to steering angles of up to 40° on both the front and rear axles
- Consistent payload independent of the steering angle for constant leverage ratios
One-piece vehicle frame
- High stability, even on rough terrain
- Constant payload due to the constant leverage ratios. Independent of the steering angle, the payload always remains the same
- Great maneuverability due to the high steering angle. Therefore, some steering movements are superfluous, and travel and cycle times are reduced
Two-circuit pneumatic brake system
- Pneumatic braked trailers can be towed on the road
- Enables use of the vehicle’s maximum approved trailer load
Color-coded switches
- Uniformed color scheme for hydraulic, electric, driving, and safety features
- Increased safety due to minimized danger of mixing up switches
- Operating concept that reaches across all models to simplify the handling of the fleet
Front axle steering
- Safe and familiar road travel at high speed
- Precise guidance of special attachments
- Easy maneuvering in trailer mode
EC tractor approval
- Application as a towing vehicle for trailer transport with material
- No restrictions regarding the loads alongside the separate attachments
- It is possible to travel on the road with an attachment subject to the legal provisions
Crab steering
- Easy maneuvering in confined spaces
- Gentle driving on sensitive surfaces
- Simple control in combination with special attachments
Hydraulic two-circuit trailer brake
- Hydraulic braked trailers can be towed on the road
- Even older trailers with a hydraulic one-circuit brake can be used (downwardly compatible)
- Enables use of the vehicle’s maximum approved trailer load
Panoramic cabin
- Everything in view - A panoramic front windshield far to the rear with narrow cabin pillars ensure for an optimal view of the attachment at any time with an extended view upwards
- The operator also has a particularly good view of the attachment, even with a maximum stacking height
- High degree of work quality and safety as the work area can be optimally viewed
Low-speed device and hand throttle
- Easy operation of attachments that are operated with a constant rpm and a simultaneously low travel speed
- Engine rpm and travel speed can be set individually
- Maximum productivity and a best-possible work result, even on long working days
Auto-stop
- Automatic switch-off of the diesel engine after a preset time
- Saving of fuel and reduction of CO2 emissions
- Protection of the environment and machine components
ecospeed: Variable hydrostatic overdrive transmission
- Variable acceleration without interruption to the tractive force or gear-shifting from 0 km/h to 40 km/h
- Full pushing power and tractive force in all work situations
- Maximum efficiency and low fuel consumption as a result of the optimal interplay between the engine and drive train
Gear pump with LUDV
- Load-independent flow distribution with load-sensing characteristics
- It is possible to operate several hydraulic functions at once
- Fast loading cycles and more efficient motion processes increase productivity
Easy maintenance access
- Easy access to the engine compartment thanks to the wide-opening hood
- Optimum accessibility of all important components for checking fill levels
- Quick implementation of service work thanks to vertically mounted filters and additional maintenance openings
Automatic central lubrication system
- Longer service life and value retention of the machine thanks to automatic lubrication of all lubrication points
- Time and cost savings thanks to low and bundled maintenance of the centralized lubrication system
- Optimum lubrication thanks to adjustable time intervals and grease quantities
Automatic bucket return
- The automatic bucket return is ideal for loading work that repeatedly necessitates a particular bucket position
- The desired position can be individually set and stored
- Safe and fatigue-free working as a result of the automatic motion processes. The charge cycles are becoming clearly more efficient
Smart Steering
- Speed-independent steering support.
- The required rotations of the steering wheel at low travel speeds are significantly reduced. Greater steering angle per steering wheel rotation.
- Fast turning maneuvers and reduced effort increase productivity and enable quick maneuvering.
Two-layer paintwork on the axles
- Excellent protection against corrosion
- The axles are clearly more robust and durable
