HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Low-effort steering gives short work cycle times. Powerefficient system provides good fuel economy, good directional stability and smooth ride.

Open center hydraulics with highly efficient vane pumps

allows precision control and quick movements even at low
rpms thanks to the high capacity pumps.

Steering system: Load-sensing hydrostatic articulated

steering with power amplification.

Pump: A double vane pump mounted on a power take-off on

the transmission. Pump 1works with all tilt and lift movements.
Pump 2 works with tilt out and lift up to 20 MPa (2900 psi).
A pilot-controlled selector valve cuts-in flow to the system.

System supply: The steering system is supplied from a

separate steering pump.
Pump: Variable-flow axial piston pump.
Cylinders: Two double-acting cylinders.

Valve: Double-acting 3-spool valve actuated by a 3-spool pilot

valve.
Lift function: The valve has four functions: raise, hold,
lower and float. Inductive/magnetic automatic boom kickout
can be switched on and off and is adjustable to any position
between maximum reach and full lift height.
Tilt function: The valve has three functions: rollback, hold and
dump. Inductive/magnetic automatic bucket positioner, that
can be switched on and off.
Cylinders: Double-acting
Filter: Full-flow filtration through 20 m (absolute) filter
cartridge.

CAB
Care Cab with easy entry and wide door opening. Lined with
sound-absorbent material. Sound- and vibration-suppressing
suspension. Good all-round visibility, large glass areas.
Curved windshield of laminated, green-tinted glass.
Ergonomically located controls and instruments permit a
comfortable operating position.
Instrumentation: All important information is readily visible
to the operator. Cab display for Contronic monitoring system
(option).
Heater and defroster: Heating element with filtered fresh air
and four-speed fan. Defroster outlets for all windows.
Operators seat: Spring suspended, adjustable operators
seat with retractable seatbelt. The seat is mounted on a
bracket on the rear wall. The force from the belt is absorbed
by the seat rails.
Standards: Tested and approved according to the following
standards: ROPS (ISO/3471, SAE J1040), FOPS (ISO
3449, SAE J231). Complies with Overhead guards for rider
lift trucks (ISO 6055) and Operator Restraint System
(SAE J386).

LIFT ARM SYSTEM

TP Linkage combines high break-out torque throughout the
working range with parallel lift-arm action. These features
together with high lift height and long reach make the lift-arm
system equally as good in bucket loading as in work with fork
attachments and material handling arms.

Bucket selection chart

The choice of bucket is determined by the density of the
material and the bucket fill
factor. The TP-linkage uses a very
open bucket design, has very good
roll back in all positions plus fills
the bucket very well. This means
that the actual volume carried is
often larger than the rated capacity
of the bucket. Bucket fill factor in
different materials and how they
affect the actual bucket volume are
shown below. Example: Sand and
gravel. Fill factor ~105%. Density
1,70 ton/m3. Result: The 4,2 m3
bucket carries 4,4 m3. For optimum stability always consult the
bucket selection chart.

Bucket selection chart

The choice of bucket is determined by the density of the
material and the bucket fill
factor. The TP-linkage uses a very
open bucket design, has very good
roll back in all positions plus fills
the bucket very well. This means
that the actual volume carried is
often larger than the rated capacity
of the bucket. Bucket fill factor in
different materials and how they
affect the actual bucket volume are
shown below. Example: Sand and
gravel. Fill factor ~105%. Density
1,70 ton/m3. Result: The 4,2 m3
bucket carries 4,4 m3. For optimum stability always consult the
bucket selection chart.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Low-effort steering gives short work cycle times. Powerefficient system provides good fuel economy, good directional stability and smooth ride.

Open center hydraulics with highly efficient vane pumps

allows precision control and quick movements even at low
rpms thanks to the high capacity pumps.

Steering system: Load-sensing hydrostatic articulated

steering with power amplification.

Pump: A double vane pump mounted on a power take-off on

the transmission. Pump 1works with all tilt and lift movements.
Pump 2 works with tilt out and lift up to 20 MPa (2900 psi).
A pilot-controlled selector valve cuts-in flow to the system.

System supply: The steering system is supplied from a

separate steering pump.
Pump: Variable-flow axial piston pump.
Cylinders: Two double-acting cylinders.

Valve: Double-acting 3-spool valve actuated by a 3-spool pilot

valve.
Lift function: The valve has four functions: raise, hold,
lower and float. Inductive/magnetic automatic boom kickout
can be switched on and off and is adjustable to any position
between maximum reach and full lift height.
Tilt function: The valve has three functions: rollback, hold and
dump. Inductive/magnetic automatic bucket positioner, that
can be switched on and off.
Cylinders: Double-acting
Filter: Full-flow filtration through 20 m (absolute) filter
cartridge.

CAB
Care Cab with easy entry and wide door opening. Lined with
sound-absorbent material. Sound- and vibration-suppressing
suspension. Good all-round visibility, large glass areas.
Curved windshield of laminated, green-tinted glass.
Ergonomically located controls and instruments permit a
comfortable operating position.
Instrumentation: All important information is readily visible
to the operator. Cab display for Contronic monitoring system
(option).
Heater and defroster: Heating element with filtered fresh air
and four-speed fan. Defroster outlets for all windows.
Operators seat: Spring suspended, adjustable operators
seat with retractable seatbelt. The seat is mounted on a
bracket on the rear wall. The force from the belt is absorbed
by the seat rails.
Standards: Tested and approved according to the following
standards: ROPS (ISO/3471, SAE J1040), FOPS (ISO
3449, SAE J231). Complies with Overhead guards for rider
lift trucks (ISO 6055) and Operator Restraint System
