New telehandlers from Wacker Neuson

Wacker Neuson has launched two new telehandlers - the TH408 and TH522 -adding to the company’s compact series, which now comprise four models with lift heights of four to six metres.

The four metre TH408 has a maximum capacity of 800kg, an overall width of just 1.4 metres and an overall height of 1.9 metres, total weight is just 2,270kg, making it easy to transport by standard two axle trailer. In addition it has a very compact inside turning radius of just 595mm, making it ideal for smaller warehouses, greenhouses and landscaping applications.

The TH522 has a maximum lift height of 5.5 metres and a lift capacity of 2,200kgs and is 1.8 metres wide by 1.95 metres high, total weight is 4,200kg.

The new machines include Wacker Neuson's Vertical Lift System (vls) overload protection. The system prevents the machine tipping in a longitudinal direction without interrupting the working cycle through a partial automation of the telescopic movement. The operator can choose between two modes of operation, bucket mode or stacking mode.

In bucket mode, the boom is always retracted while lowering, the ratio of the automatic retraction to the lowering movement is designed so that the machine does not enter into the overload range, even at maximum payload. This is said to increase the efficiency of the loading cycle and simplifies operation through automatic movement sequences.

In stacking mode the boom angle is taken into consideration and at an angle of less than 40 degrees the boom retracts upon reaching the overload range. The retraction is stopped as soon as there is no longer a chance of an overload. At angles greater than 40 degrees it is always retracted when lowering. It still is possible to lower and simultaneously extend the telescopic arm until the overload range is reached.
