The four smallest models, the G1100 and G1200 and their tele-versions, have been constantly optimised in recent years. Lots of new extra options for these machines are also now available.

Since their appearance some years ago, the smallest members of the Tobroco-Giant wheel loader family became very popular not only in construction, but also with companies working in landscaping and gardening.

In a time when well-trained employees are scarce while work and deadlines create more and more pressure, the importance of having a versatile and compact motorised helper has considerably increased. At the same time, it is also very important to improve the working conditions for employees. This enables them to manage the great variety of different duties in a safe and healthy manner.

For this reason, today many tasks, such as delivering of material within the building site, minor transporting and excavating tasks, which have been done by hand for a long time, are now delegated to compact machines. They have to be able not only to work within limited space while providing a high performance, but simultaneously they must be transported easily from one site to the next and be deployable for a lot of different purposes.

Small weight – great flexibility

With a service weight of only 1.100 kg for the G1100 and G1200 and 1.200 kg for the G1100 TELE and G1200 TELE the compact machine are easily and quickly transported on a common car trailer from one working site to the next. The attachments, playing their role in the incredible versatility of the machine, can also be put on the trailer with no trouble at all. All the same the smallest Giants really live up to their name “Giant Ant”, because they are able to almost lift their own weight. The tele-versions of the two models still offer a lifting capacity of 750 kg.

The small powerhouses are driven by four strong Poclain wheel engines, which provide surprisingly high push and pull forces and are known to be really low maintainance. Due to the hydrostatic four wheel drive with automotive control, the wheel loaders show very comfortable driving characteristics. The electrically controlled slip differential makes sure all four wheels stay safely on the ground all the time. To change between forward and backward is made very easy with an electrical switch.

The flexibility of the machines is based on the right range of attachments. Tobroco-Giant has a team of engineers who are specialized on attachments, they are focused on developing new and improving existing attachments. This is reflected in the complete line of attachments for the G1100 and G1200 models. Whether it is a sweeper, tree grab or soil bucket, the GIANT attachments are specifically designed for these machines and guarantee the best performance and efficiency.

A lot of optimising

Even when the machines haven’t changed a lot from the outside, there have been made quite a few technical changes on them: The engines (20hp for the G1100 and 25 hp for G1200) are now Stage V engines according to international standard. As well there are protective plates on the bottom and on the front on the machine to protect it against damage by branches, rocks, etc.

To make transport and the lifting of the machine easier there are now lifting eyes provided. This way, it can be tightly fixed on the trailer and transported to its destination and, if necessary, easily lifted over a wall. The machine can be supplied with narrowed mudguards making it even more narrow and to go 87,5 cm literally through every door.

New options available for more individual adaption

Now there are – apart from the above mentioned changes of the standard model – more options for G1100 and G1200 (Tele) available. For a more comfortable way of working there is a mechanically suspended seat including safety belt, armrest and backrest on offer. Furthermore, there is a transport securing device so you can block the arm in all directions by just pressing a button. Another option is the hose rupture protection in combination with floating position and transport securing device. As well, it is possible to order the machines with road specification from the factory.

Exclusively for the G1200 and the G1200 Tele there are two extra options: Either the HD driving mechanism or a higher driving speed (up to 19 km/h) can be chosen. HD stands for “Heavy Duty” and provides 45% more pulling force than the standard version. A higher driving speed makes a lot of sense if material must be loaded, unloaded or transported over longer distances.

A lot of arguments for the “little ones”

With the help of the new details, the two models offer even more comfort in handling the machine and can even more reliably when taking over different tasks in construction, landscaping and gardening be it lifting, transporting, loading, digging or cleaning, there are nearly no limits.

In addition, the two tele-versions load can load great heights or store and fetch material from high rise racks. Compared to their service weight, they life an impressive amount. Due to their small weight, can also they work without damaging the surface. Smaller machines also have the added benefit of lifting in remote places like inside buildings or internal courtyards that are impassable for normal machines.

He explains:

“If we develop a new model or enhance an existing machine, we always do this because of a specific demand we receive from the market. We always listen very intensely when customers tell us what exactly they need for their work.”

This motivation has been the reason for the development of the G2300 HD which is also available as X-TRA-version. Users have demanded a model which is located exactly between the existing types G2200 HD+ and G2500 HD.

Compactly designed

The machine is equipped with a 26 hp-Kubota engine with 1500 m3 cubic capacity, four cylinders and high torque and is certified to EU standard level V for clean engines. For huge driver’s comfort combined with high performance the machine has got a hydrostatical four-wheel-drive and limited slip on both axles.

Due to the 8-ton planetary axles the machine has got a traction force of 23.000 N, which is urgently required for a lot of different tasks on building sites, with earth-moving tasks, on farms or with gardening and landscaping. Tipping loads of 1.595 kg for the G2300 HD or 2.260 kg for the X-TRA version ensure powerful and efficient loading and unloading of materials.

The whole power unit has the same high performance available as the one of the G2500, the next superior model in the range. For this reason the G2300 gets maximum traction with a high pulling force while still working smoothly under all working conditions.

With all these characteristics of the higher-class model, the G2300 has the advantage of being more compactly built because the frame has been especially adjusted for this model to make room for the bigger engine. This way, the machine has a width of only 108 cm on standard tyres which makes it easy to get through narrow pathways. Like that, it has no problem to reach sites in backyards of buildings.

Because of operating weights of 2.300 and 2.350 kg, both models can be transported very easily on a car trailer from one working site to the next, so there is a maximum of flexibility and the machine doesn’t have unnecessary holding times due to complicated transport.

To reach an higher productivity, there is the option to equip the machine with the patent-registered Stabilo-system. This option creates extra safety and comfort, because all unevenness of the ground is settled without any loss in performance.

Safety and comfort

All machines are equipped with a safety roof as a standard. Optionally, this can be changed into a foldable safety roof or a complete cabin. All roofs and cabins have been intensively tested by independent controllers and are certified on the international ROPS/FOPS-standard. The curved windscreen and the narrow stacks lead to an excellent 360° view. So the driver is always able to view the whole working area and can work safely and precisely at any time.

A sprung and adjustable comfortable seat helps to create a pleasant working condition as well as a spacious and comfortable working environment with control instruments that are easy to use, the smoothly operating joystick and the tilting and adjustable steering column – this comfort equipment prevents exhaustion and leads to comfortable and efficient work during long hours.

Attachments for every task

Tobroco-Giant offers more than 200 different attachments so that the G2300 models can be used all year round. Whether it concerns buckets, sweepers or snowblades, the machines always work in an optimal way which ensures higher effectivity and profitability. The attachments have been developed according to the characteristics of the machines and therefore provide the best collaboration between machine and attachment – always ensuring high performance.

The post Tobroco-Giant North America reveals new GIANT G3500 Compact Wheel loader appeared first on North America FarmQuip Magazine.

Tobroco-Giant has unveiled what it deems to be a “worthy successor” to its V452T wheel loader – which for years has been its best-selling model.

Dubbed the G2700, this new kid on the block is more powerful than its predecessor when it comes to engine power and traction, Dutch brand Tobroco-Giant says.

Due to a higher operating weight, the tipping loads have “increased considerably” – which, the machinery brand says, makes the G2700 “a modern powerhouse with compact dimension”.

The G2700 is available in four different models, namely: the G2700 HD; G2700 X-TRA HD; G2700 HD+; and G2700 X-TRA HD+. All four models are powered by a three-cylinder Kubota engine with 50hp.All models are powered by a hydrostatic all-wheel drive with automotive steering.

The articulated pendulum joint gives the G2700 a small turning circle, which allows the machine to operate in confined spaces.

This system also gives the wheel loaders a lot of stability because it ensures that all four wheels remain on the ground, even when working on uneven terrain, Tobroco-Giant says.

Both the G2700 HD and the G2700 X-TRA HD have an operating weight of 2,550kg. This gives the model with the standard lifting arm a lifting height of 2.96m and tipping load of 2.375kg. This extends to a tipping load of up to 2,900kg for the top model in the series, the firm says.

The G2700 models come standard with a ROPS/FOPS safety roof, double-acting hydraulic function on the lift arm and a “luxury suspension seat”.

Compact powerhouse

Because of the fact that building sites are often very narrow and there is not a lot of space to work in, customers have the demand for an agile loader with narrow wheelbase that can lift and transport heavy loads. The G3500 X-TRA distinguishes itself by a high tipping load (3,990 kg) compared to its own weight (3,600 kg). Depending on the choice of tires, the loader has a width between 134 and 165 centimeters. The height is below 2.27 meters so narrow and low passages are no problem and the machine can be used inside as well.

To guarantee the right performance and fuel efficient operation, the G3500 X-TRA is powered by a new 48.5 kW/66 HP diesel engine from Kubota. The engine is equipped with a catalytic converter (DOC) and soot filter (DPF) and is prepared for Stage V emission regulations. Whether transporting large quantities of loads or rough-working activities, the hydrostatic 4-wheel drive with automotive control (Bosch Rexroth) and 100% switchable lock on both, 14-tons, axles prevents the machine from losing grip – even on loose soil. A driving speed of 30 km/h allows customers to travel fast from one building site to another or to transport materials in no time.

Multi-purpose machine

This compact wheel loader can be used in high-building, roadworks as well as underground work and presents itself as a versatile helper on restricted sites. A wide range of attachments transforms the G3500 X-TRA in a multi-purpose machine. Attach pallet forks and the G3500 X-TRA will transport complete pallets with cobblestones or move barriers. Change the attachment for a sweeper and keep building sites clean and tidy. Or use a snow blade during the winter season to keep roads and sidewalks free from snow. By choosing the right attachment it is possible to adjust the G3500 X-TRA to all working conditions and the machine can be used all year round.

First class operator comfort

The spacious cab of the new G3500 X-TRA was redesigned for more functionality and a new, modern look. Providing the operators a comfortable and safe working environment with great visibility for efficient all day operation. New features include a fully adjustable steering column and luxury air suspended seat. All necessary information (oil temperature, regeneration, etc.) can easily be read from a central LCD display during work. While using the joystick, the operator can rest his arm on ergonomically shaped armrest. The compact loader is standard equipped with a, EU certified, safety roof and this can optionally be extended to a full-option cabin.

Easy maintenance and the right back-up

Maintenance is easy with the G3500 X-TRA is easy because the service points are easy to reach. Filters, hydraulic system and engine can be freely accessed via the easy-to-open bonnet, tilting cab or other service panels. This reduces downtime because daily checks and maintenance can be carried out quickly and in a safe manner.
