These models feature significant improvements in comfort and convenience, as well as improved stability and more lift capacity, according to the company. The new Varipower three-drive with boosted tractive force is optionally available for the Scorpion 738 and 742.
The eight Scorpion telehandlers in the Claas product portfolio cover lift capacities from 3.3-6t and lift heights from 6.7-10 m. The five new models with lift capacities from 3.3-4.2t – Scorpion 733, 1033, 638, 738 and 742 – have breathed new life into the range with a host of performance- and comfort-boosting features designed to offer more customer benefits than ever before.
Thanks to higher hydraulic pressure, the new Scorpion telehandlers deliver up to 300kg more lift capacity – 3.3t in the 1033 and 733 entry models and 4.2t in the Scorpion 742. At the same time, to ensure the customary balance and stability, the wheelbase has been increased by 100mm, with corresponding modifications to the counterweight at the rear.
This machine class now benefits from Smart Loading functions too, thanks to new hydraulic controls with electronic pilot control. The following automatic functions and assistance systems are now available to operators:
- Automatic bucket return to the previously saved position: saving significant time and effort when performing repetitive tasks close to the ground.
- Automatic bucket shake function: the tilt rams ensure reliable emptying of clumping materials and even distribution of loose materials.
- Automatic retraction of the telescopic arm (not for Scorpion 1033): the mast automatically retracts as the telescopic arm is lowered – significantly reducing the operator’s workload.
Key features at a glance:
- Designed for faster, more efficient load cycles.
- Longer wheelbase, modified counterweight and larger steering lock ensure maximum stability for increased lift capacities without compromising manoeuvrability.
- Dynamic Power for efficient engine speed management.
- Smart Loading for convenient automation and operator assistance across a wide range of applications.
- Optional Varipower 3 drive for Scorpion 738 and 742: 20 per cent more tractive power for the most demanding tasks. New cab with optimised ergonomics: slender steering column with adjustable height and angle and suspended brake/inch pedal.
- New armrest with joystick integrated into the operator’s seat.
- New air conditioning system with precise temperature and fan control.
- Partially glazed cab door with quarterlight window, 180-degree lock and storage pockets on the inside.
- Additional LED headlight with Coming Home function.
- Practical additional equipment such as pressure relief button, water tank and brush and shovel holder at the rear.
