CLAAS has had telehandlers in its product range since 1994 and from 2019, the machines have been developed and built in cooperation with Liebherr. Six models with 143 and 156 hp engines currently cover a range from 7.5 to 11.7 t operating weight, 7.0 to almost 9.0 m stacking height and 3,200 to
6,000 kg lifting capacity.
Increased performance thanks to more engine power and VARIPOWER 2
The entire SCORPION model series from CLAAS is equipped with efficient, powerful four-cylinder engines from Deutz. For the 2023 model year, the 3.6 l Stage V engine in the SCORPION 732, 736, 741 and 746 models has been optimised for greater efficiency and performance in cooperation with LIEBHERR. As a result, the SCORPION 732, 736, 741 and 746 models each have 50 Nm more torque and an increase in power output of 6 hp. The compact engines remain economical in operation and maintenance, as usual, and are characterized by low maintenance requirements.
The SCORPION 741, 736 and 732 models have been fitted with the hydrostatic VARIPOWER 2 drive from the CLAAS JAGUAR since 2021. The compact drive unit with its highly efficient, high-torque twin motor ensures a long service life, further improved drive efficiency and a lower noise level on the road. The driver has three driving ranges available – 0 to 20 km/h, 0 to 30 km/h and 0 to 40 km/h – which can be preselected with the press of a thumb, with a maximum speed of 40 km/h. The final speed is reached at a reduced, fuel-saving engine speed. The braking behavior of all SCORPION has been further optimized by new components such as the brake valve and brake pedal along with new software tuning. An automatic parking brake is standard as a braking assistant for uphill and downhill gradients, which prevents the machine from rolling away.
