Schaffer’s 4.5tonne 5650 Z wheel loader reaches for the top

When the job is high up, then Schäffer’s new 5650 Z wheel loader with a bucket capacity of 0.8m3 and a working weight of 4.5tonne is up for the challenge. The 5650 Z has a powerful 37kW Kubota engine with four-valve technology and is the first such machine to feature electric drive control which permits significant increases in efficiency.

Schäffer’s 5650 Z wheel loader reaches for the sky
When the job is high up, then Schäffer’s new 5650 Z wheel loader with a bucket capacity of 0.8m3 and a working weight of 4.5tonne is up for the challenge.

The 5650 Z has a powerful 37kW 1265 Kubota engine with four-valve technology and is the first such machine to feature electric drive control which permits significant increases in efficiency. Electronic support helps to optimise engine output and transform it into thrust, which results in reduced fuel consumption.

The electronic control furthermore enables several new safety functions, such as overheat protection.

With a volume of 64 litres/min, the hydraulic pump transports enough oil to reliably supply power-demanding attachment tools such as pruning saws and mulchers. Good visuals to the attachment tool is guaranteed thanks to the elevated cab and the narrow front section. Also, if you change to Schäffer loaders, it will be no problem to keep and use your existing tools.

The high efficiency of the drive system makes exhaust cleaning a lot easier. A diesel oxidation catalyst is sufficient to meet the exhaust norm IIIb, which dispenses with need for the high maintenance particle filter.

Maximum lifting height of the 5650 Z is 3.4m. At up to 2.5tonne, the tipping load is likewise very high. Applications of the 5650 Z can be expanded significantly by an optional registration as tractor unit with towing capacity of up to 6tonne and the optional overdrive up to 30kph.

    Hitachi is boosting its wheeled loader line with the addition of two new ZW models, the ZW140 and ZW150. These machines join the proven ZW180, ZW220, ZW250 and ZW310 and share many technical features. High performance is claimed and the ZW140 and ZW150 are powered by powerful yet economical and durable engines, delivering 96 and 107kW respectively. Fuel consumption is reduced while productivity has been increased across a range of duties. An innovative hydrostatic drive system (HST) is fitted that is said t
  • Skid steer loader - more versatile than a jack of all trades
    February 17, 2012
    The skid steer loader has for many years been known as a jack-of-all-trades. Indeed the term loader can be a bit misleading, as a skid steer is far more than simply a digging or lifting machine. Skid steers, and their more recent compact tracked loader stablemates, are the original powered tool carriers. They are designed to work with a host of attachments, not just a bucket or pallet forks. However while this concept of one base machine and a multitude of attachments has been a big success in North America

    AUSA’s Taurulift line of telehandlers continues to connect with customers who want an “ultracompact” lifting machine. “The idea is to replace skid steer loaders with this ultra-compact machine,” said Josep Soler, country manager for AUSA. The Taurulift functions in a similar way to a telehandler but also can quickly incorporate a bucket. It handles a sizeable payload as well. The machines are extremely compact, with the lift heights of the products at 6m and below. Yet they can carry loads of 1.5 tonnes, ex

    Liebherr’s Stage IV/Tier 4 emission standards-compliant A 914 Litronic wheeled excavator, at a trade show for the first time, has an operating weight of between 14.9-17.2tonnes. Powered by a Liebherr D924 diesel engine, producing 105kW, the SCR system, which consists of an SCR catalyst system and other components such as an injector and AdBlue solution, is said to bring about a 91% reduction in nitrogen oxide (NOX). A particulate filter is not required but can be installed as an addition for special
