Schaffer leads the world in high performance, industrial build articulated wheel loaders. Ultra-strengthis combined with compact size and clever German engineering to get the job done fast.
There are numerous technical reasons why Schaffer articulated wheel loaders tick all the boxes. Designed with a massive amount of weight out the back of the rear axle, lift capacity is maximised at the front. The centre of gravity is low, offering superior performance in any conditions.
The articulation angle is also the highest on the market, maximising productivity in confined areas and speeding up work

Schaffer articulated wheel loaders are boosting productivity in mining, earthmoving, construction, local councils, horticulture and landscaping and many other industries.
The versatility of over 50 attachments allows Schaffer articulated wheel loaders to be adapted for almost any task. Why buy a machine for every job when your Schaffer articulated wheel loader can become a power plant to quickly do just about any job?
Greater breakout and lifting forces - that's the Schaffer advantage.
Our expert engineers use the latest 3D computer-aided design, optimised by years of experience, to create the strongest articulated wheel loaders available.
All masts use 30mm plate, massive twin lift cylinders and enormous crowd cylinders to give years of trouble-free operation. It's why quality Schaffer's German engineering alwaysoutperforms in the long run.

The Schaffer oscillating articulation joint is a unique proven system that Schaffer has used for over 20 years. It has two massive advantages - it aids traction by allowing all wheels to stay on the ground in rough terrain and improves operator comfort because it acts like a suspension system.
You're not bounced around every time you go over a bump, so you can work faster and more productively. And it's much easier on your back.
Another important benefit is that Schaffer's oscillating articulation joints are totally maintenance free. Doing away with daily lubrication dramatically reduces your workload.
In addition, Schaffer's exclusive oscillating articulation joints are a sealed system, so sand and dirt can't enter and turn the grease into a paste that will cause friction to wear down the joints.
In fact, the joints are virtually indestructible. That's why we offer you the longest warranty in the loader business on this component of three years or 3000 operating hours.

Schaffer has worked in partnership with Kubota, the world's leading producer of water-cooled diesel motors under 100hp, for more than 25 years.
The excellent torque of a Kubota motor delivers exceptional performance - quiet, economical, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.
The newest generation of motors have been further improved with lower fuel consumption and emission levels. Kubota was the first manufacturer to meet the strict regulations on exhaust emissions in California - a measure of Kubota's green credentials.
Every engine is now Tier 3 - interim Tier 4 to meet the strictest emissions levels on the planet.
A unique pre-chamber system means a motor can easily be converted to cold-pressed vegetable oil without a separate diesel fuel tank. Kubota motors are future-proof!
The long partnership between Kubota and Schaffer has advantages when it comes to service and spare parts. No other compact loader producer offers such reliable service.
In a recent test Schaffer was awarded the most fuel efficient loader, even though it has the biggest engine of 110hp, using just 10.3 litres per hour.
All new 4350Z are now equipped with Kubotas latest generation 2607DI with the highest torque output in its class.

In a Schaffer articulated wheel loader, everything simply works at the touch of a joystick.
Two speed, high and low range shift-on-the-go is standard, giving a top speed of 20km/hr (optional 30km/hr on 4360Z).
The joystick controls forward and reverse with a switch on top - no need to hit a shuttle lever for motion controls. Two speed is at the side and all mast motions are via the joystick.
This ease of operation and fine control allows the operator to focus on the job at hand formaximum productivity.
The hydrostatic drive provides high pushing power, faster travel speed and effortless control.

Schaffer could source cheaper hydraulics but we choose not to. We realise that quality hydraulics are the crux of a great loader. When only the best will do, Bosch/Rexroth is synonymous with long-term reliability. Bosch is backed Australia-wide with its own specialist network and the Schaffer network, giving you peace of mind.
Schaffer wheel loaders have standard auxiliary controls on the joystick, making your loader a true integrated tool carrier for any job.
Cooling is optimised to allow it to run high flow attachments.
Electric auxiliary controls in the joystick makes working with 4-in-1 buckets, grabs and augers a breeze. Pushing forward lowers the mast and the log is grabbed at the same time with fingertip controls. This allows the operator to keep their hands on the steering wheel, for the highest safety standards.

Schaffer's exclusive design has a relatively narrow conical loading arm which tapers to the chassis to give you the best vision of your working area possible.
Even the cylinders are centrally mounted to further enhance vision - you can really see what you're doing when you drive a Schaffer.
Only on Schaffer articulated wheel loaders do you find hydraulic cylinders freely suspended withspherical bearings instead of fixed pins so pins wear evenly and outlast the rest.

Schaffer's 4350Z and 4360Z articulated wheel loader series only use outboard planetary axles to produce the highest pushing forces.
Automatically operating limited slip differentials are standard back and front to limit wheel slip and harness the torque every moment.
Schaffer's exclusive axles are matched to each loader model - this is why independent tests confirm Schaffer out pushes the rest.
Axles on any loader are one of the most important components - they must carry heavy loads and transfer the high torque of the hydrostatic power into pushing forces over many years. Schaffer's axles are designed to push hard and last.

Schaffer Loaders are not only the most compact articulated wheel loaders on the market, they are also the lowest, which offers you a number of benefits.
A low operating height means you can squeeze into tight spots, monitor ground conditions with ease and there are no dramas climbing in and out.
Articulated wheel loader optional cabin.
Schaffer articulated wheel loader models 4350Z and 4360Z have a 3.26m pivot point. That means you can load high-sided trucks and stack pallet racks at lightning speed.
How do you convert great torque to maximum traction? With the right heavy duty wide tyre. We can option your machine with the right tyres for the job, from the standard heavy ply 15.0x55-17 to the optional 500x45-20.
Are you in the waste, demolition or recycling industries? We have multiple options including solid press on, solid fill, liquid puncture-proof and more.

At Schaffer, we are committed to safety. A reverse beeper and rotating beacon are always standard.
Need something special? We do custom orders for just about any application.
Underground mining? Need fire suppression, T-bar seat, fast fill, sealed electrics for caustic conditions, mesh only, custom paint, level 2 FOPS, catalytic convertor, particulate scrubbers, solid tyres or more?
At Schaffer we customise at the factory, giving you peace of mind that the job is done right with factory back-up.
Every Schaffer wheel loader has hydraulic quick attach incorporated into one of the strongest tool frames on the market.
The Schaffer hook hitch enables quick coupling and decoupling from the cabin with extra safety inside.

Over 50 tools turn your Schaffer articulated wheel loader into a productive workhorse able to do any job.
The list includes a 4-in-1, bulk buckets, pallet forks, augers, trenchers, rotary hoes, slashers, grab buckets and much more.
The cooling pack on every Schaffer has been designed in Germany for the harsh Aussie summer enabling you to keep your hydraulics cool so they last over the long term.
Don't buy a loader that just does one job, buy one that is built to do the lot and get even more productivity day in, day out.
