Schäffer: 9660T takes pivot steer loaders to new heights

Leading loader manufacturer Schäffer has launched the 9660T that further extends the capabilities of its range of pivot steer telehandlers. The 9660T combines the all-round view and traction force of a standard wheel loader with the lifting height and reach of a telescopic loader.

The 9660T has a tipping load of 4,700kg, an operating weight of 11,000kg and a maximum lifting height of 6.1m.

UK sales manager Paul Gower expects the 9660T to meet the needs of large scale livestock farmers.

“We have delivered our first machine to a farm near Crewe,” he said, “and we’re also in discussion with contractors and operators of biogas plants.”

The 9660T incorporates Schäffer’s dual clutch transmission, combining double-clutch transmission with hydrostatic drive for the first time. The result is higher traction force in a drive that is comfortable and easy to handle.
