Claas UK is expanding its Torion range of wheeled loaders with the addition of two compact models, following the initial successful introduction of the medium- and large-frame versions.
The new Torion 639 and 535 are compact wheeled loaders with articulated steering and a low overall height of less than 2.5m, making them ideal for use on livestock and dairy farms, or for smaller re-handling facilities.
Both the Torion 639 and 535 are powered by Yanmar 3.3 litre, four-cylinder engines with power outputs of 68hp and 63hp respectively. These engines are Stage IIIB compliant using the combination of a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF), without the need for selective catalytic reduction (SCR). Drive is through a 20km/hr hydrostatic transmission with two speed ranges of 0-6km/hr and 0-20km/hr, that are selected at the flick of a switch.
The articulated joint incorporates a double-acting steering ram. The articulation angle is 10 degrees and the steering angle is 40 degree, resulting in a tight inner turning circle of just 2.5m on standard tyres.
At maximum articulation, the Torion 535 has a Full Turn Tipping Load of 3,450kg, rising to 3,850kg for the Torion 639. In common with many other wheeled loaders of this size, both machines are fitted with a Zettlemeyer Wide (TPZ Wide) headstock. As with other models in the Torion range, the boom has Z kinematics, which provides true parallel lift when used with buckets or pallet forks and a high tear-out force.
The hydraulic system on the Torion 639/535 has a maximum capacity of 77 lit/min and 70 lit/min respectively, both with an operating pressure of 230 bar, so ensuring a fast response for quick and accurate loading.
The cab features a full height front windscreen, giving excellent visibility over the front wheels and attachments fitted to the tapered boom. A rounded rear window provides clear rearward visibility.
The steering column is infinitely adjustable for ease of operation and access, with all the main controls easily accessible and colour coded on the operator’s right hand side, alongside the joystick.
