A body that combines the good properties of a dump truck for fieldwork and the positive features of heavy-duty bodies from the construction sector would therefore be ideal. It is precisely this all-around vehicle that Fliegl created with the new TMK 266 S PROFI.

In order to be able to combine these requirements in one vehicle, Fliegl relies on extremely
high-quality material and a large loading capacity at the same time. The halfpipe body is
made of the fine-grain steel S700MC, which promises a high strength potential with
simultaneous weight savings.

The body is built on a tandem axle chassis with a painted frame and has a permissible total weight of a maximum of 22,000 kg. A hydraulically sprung towing device ensures improved driving comfort and convenient adjustment of the trailer height depending on the requirements of the towing vehicle. With the optional body side extension of 500 mm, the volume of the trailer is increased by approx. 8 m³ to approximately 33.0 m³.

The maneuverability is particularly important in the transport of heavy goods and so you
can elegantly get around every corner with the optional forced steering. The possibility of
forced steering increases driving safety considerably as the body runs smoothly behind
the tractor and can be easily controlled at any time, even when there are sudden changes
of direction or cornering.

Also to be emphasized is the better slope stability, which plays a major role, for example in gravel pits with greasy surface soil on slight hills. The Gigant Plus JUMBO axle unit which is installed as standard provides a high level of stability and a significant increase in driving comfort. In this chassis, springs are installed underneath the axles which ideally dampen vibrations and ensure that the vehicle has a low center of gravity.

Many other equipment options are waiting to be used with the all-rounder with its steely
arguments: Fliegl TMK 266 S Profi.

“The trend for a single large-capacity scraper pulled by either an articulated dump truck or large tractor continues to grow as an earthmoving solution for many contractors. Combining the advanced features of the proven John Deere 460E-II ADT or 9R Series Scraper Tractor, along with the quality and durability of the new John Deere scraper, will provide a powerful solution for customers.”

said Jason Daly, global director, production systems, technology, marketing, John Deere Construction & Forestry.

Designed to be pulled by the John Deere 460E-II Articulated Dump Truck or 9R Series Scraper Tractor, the addition of the greater than 27 cubic yard scraper solution will help boost efficiency in large-capacity earthmoving applications and increase machine versatility. To further enhance job site performance, the John Deere large capacity scrapers will be available with technology solutions, including automation features, with plans to add new offerings such as an earthmoving productivity system in the future. The John Deere earthmoving productivity system debuted at CONEXPO 2020 and when launched will provide a solution to measure volume in the scraper in real-time, helping maximize trip capacity and prevent spillage.

The system will be available through an in-cab monitor, as well as offboard in the JDLink dashboard, giving the operator visibility to the inside of the scraper as well as key production data. As a result, customers will be able to improve worksite efficiency and more accurately bid, plan and invoice jobs. By developing the scraper earthmoving productivity system, John Deere is broadening its offerings in precision construction solutions and equipment innovations.

Initially, the John Deere scrapers will be distributed through construction and agriculture equipment dealers in the U.S. and Canada, with the start of sales to be announced at a later date.
