LAMMA 2019 preview
Smart loader technologies take centre stage The 8620 T impresses with its wide range of configurations, says Schäffer.
Schäffer will showcase its latest generation of loaders; machines packed with the latest smart technologies developed for lower fuel consumption, reduced maintenance, increased comfort and eco-friendliness, says the company. Its stand will feature the 9640 T, 8620 T and 6680 T loaders – successful in many different applications. These new generation machines demonstrate the
company’s unrivalled build quality and wealth of bespoke options, as well as a raft of technologies focused on a more efficient conversion of fuel into performance, while increasing driving comfort – all developed to meet customers‘ needs, says Schäffer. The latest functions and features include HTF, or ‘High Traction Force’, which automatically regulates the thrust so the loader can supply the highest possible thrust even in a high
gear. HTF uses a new axial pistonbent axis motor that regulates speed automatically depending on the traction. This is particularly useful in an uphill position as the driver does not have to switch to first gear. HTF comes into its own when digging into aggregate material – if more thrust is required, the hydraulic motor adapts automatically, without the driver having to interfere manually, increasing driving comfort and speeding up work. SPT or ‘Schäffer Power Transmission’ is an electronically regulated drive adapted to the torque of the diesel engine, delivering multiple advantages as operating costs decrease and fuel consumption is reduced. SPT comes as standard on the 6680 T, 8620 T and the machines of the 96 series.
Dual Clutch Transmission The patented ‘SDCT’, or Schäffer Dual Clutch Transmission, is standard on machines in the 96 series. Two
driving modes are available which can be shifted under load. In driving mode 2, the loader runs at speeds of up to 40kph, with all the advantages of a hydrostatic drive. In driving mode 1, the loader develops enormous thrust forces thanks to a dual clutch transmission. The patented drive allows most work to be carried out without shifting, and the transmission operates with a high degree of efficiency, so that the fuel is converted into power very economically. As the name suggests, Eco Mode offers fuel savings and a more environmentally-friendly operation. If conditions permit, the motor speed will reduce automatically while maintaining the same speed. This allows a fuel saving of up to 10 per cent. As well as reduced operating costs, benefits of ECO Mode include lower noise levels. And when higher performance is required again, the electronics automatically switch to the full rotational speed – a smart solution for efficiency and comfort. ■ Hall 18, Stand 18.604.
