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.
