Wacker Neuson’s new compact telehandlers are versatile and can be used for yard stocking as well as for onsite duties where space is restricted

According to 1651 Wacker Neuson, its two new compact telehandlers combine versatility with mobility and good lifting performance.

With the introduction of the TH408 and TH522 in addition to the existing TH41 and TH625, the firm now has four compact telehandlers offering lift heights from 4-6m.

Manoeuvrability and versatility are key features of these machines, with the2.27tonne TH408 able to lift 800kg to its maximum lift height of 4.1m in spite of its compact dimensions being 1.4m wide and 1.9m high. Meanwhile the TH522 offers a maximum lift height of 5.5m and has a load capacity of 2.2tonnes.

Features include all-wheel steering as well as the firm’s novel vertical lift system (VLS), which offers automatic overload protection and prevents the machine from tipping, as well as a stiff single piece chassis that ensures stability. In bucket mode, the telescopic arm retracts when lowering the loading system. The ratio of automatic retraction to lowering is designed so that the machine will not be overloaded, even at maximum payload. This increases the efficiency in the loading cycle and simplifies operation.
