The TORION 738 T SINUS is the first CLAAS telescopic wheel loader, and offers outstanding manoeuvrability and stability. The new loader is equipped with numerous high-tech features.
Bucket pivot point height of 4.96 m
A key benefit of the TORION 738 T SINUS is the central telescopic boom with an impressive bucket pivot point height of 4.96 m. A maximum payload of 2,300 kg in pallet fork mode on level ground is reliably accommodated even in articulated position, with the boom fully extended. The maximum tipping load articulated is 3,800 kg. The maximum loading and stacking height with loading forks is 4.80 m, and the maximum reach is 2.69 m. The Z kinematics of the mast impress with high breakaway force and a fast dumping speed. The implement carrier, with a 172° turning angle, has been kept very compact to ensure optimum visibility for the operator. Operator comfort is further enhanced with a fast implement changer and end-of-travel damping for the telescopic boom as standard equipment. Many of these impressive performance parameters are made possible by the unique SINUS steering system.
Ample hydraulic power for lifting and stacking tasks is always available, with hydraulic capacity of 93 l/min. Large oil consumers can be accommodated with an optional additional high-flow pump, providing a further 28 l/min for external implements such as sweepers and mulchers. The maximum operating pressure is 230 bar. A double-acting control circuit can be fitted as additional equipment at the rear, while at the front, a maximum of two control circuits can be optionally fitted for external implements. The hydraulics also feature free flow return and an oil overflow line on the implement carrier.
Extreme stability and manoeuvrability
A machine that lifts heavy loads to great heights has to keep its feet firmly on the ground. This is where the SINUS steering system of the TORION 738 T SINUS comes into its own. Thanks to the unique combination of articulated and rear axle steering, maximum manoeuvrability is achieved with a maximum articulation angle on either side of just 30°. For this purpose, the rear wheels are directly connected via two steering rods to the front section, providing synchronised steering capability on turning of the articulated joint to a maximum wheel angle of 25°. This results in an outstanding turning radius at the bucket edge of only 4.22 m – unparalleled in this equipment class – and the inside turning radius is just 1.49 m. The articulated pivot joint allows the front and rear sections to pivot by up to 8° on each side. Layered springs fitted as dampers in the articulated pivot joint noticeably boost operator comfort, particularly on the road.
