SCORPION performance update

The SCORPION telehandler range has received a facelift to further improve operator comfort, while smaller models also have new engines with more power.

The six-model SCORPION range offer lift capacities from 3.2t up to 6.0t, stacking heights from 7.0m to nearly 9.0t and power outputs of 143 and 156 hp. While all are powered by efficient, powerful four-cylinder Deutz engines, the 3.6 l Stage V engine in the SCORPION 732, 736, 741 and 746 models have been optimised for greater efficiency and performance in cooperation with LIEBHERR. As a result, the SCORPION 732, 736, 741 and 746 models each have 50 Nm more torque and an increase in power output of 6 hp. On the SCORPION 741, 736 and 732 drive is through a hydrostatic VARIPOWER 2. The braking behaviour of all SCORPION has also been further optimised by new components such as the brake valve and brake pedal along with new software tuning. An automatic parking brake is standard as is a braking assistant for uphill and downhill gradients, which prevents the machine from rolling away.

INCREASED CAB COMFORT

Changes in the cab see the addition of a new air conditioning system with increased air volume. There is also a new, angle- and height-adjustable steering column with automatic indicator reset, plus the steering mode switch-over has been optimised so that the four steering modes can be set even more reliably and precisely.

UPDATED HYDRAULICS

All SCORPION telescopic handlers feature a sensitive working hydraulic system on the telescopic arm and attachment with end position damping standard. Larger SCORPION 960 to 746 models also have automatic telescopic boom arm retraction when lowering. Together with the optional automatic bucket return, loading cycles are child’s play for the driver. From now on, all SCORPION models will also have regenerative working hydraulics. The load-free lowering is decoupled from the engine speed and the speed adjustment dependent on the joystick deflection also reduces the noise level and fuel consumption.
