FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Outstanding features of the Arborist Wheel Loader 2430

Schaffer exclusive front and rear differential for torque and longevity
All Schaffer's have front and back diffs, exactly the same construction as a 50 tonne wheel loader. This uses gearing, the same as diffs in your car to increase torque and give a far longer life than cheaper wheel motors that are used on stand-on loaders and tiny articulated loaders used in the tree industry.

Oscillating articulation joint
Enables faster loading work, keeping your wheels always on the ground for traction and a comfortable ride, which acts as suspension for the operator.

Solid plate mast with the biggest pin, bushes and cylinders on the market
All loader masts are made from 15-30mm plate, no need to telescope out on wear points, or use a thin box section. Schaffer loader masts are simple, robust and very difficult to damage.

Bosch-Rexroth or Danfoss industrial hydraulics
Reliable, robust and long-lasting, our industrial hydraulic systems are industry leading.

Easy to drive with operator sitting at the rear
Reversing is the same as driving a car. Forward/reverse built into the joystick.    

Hydraulic Quick Hitch 
Heavy duty SWH hook or Bobcat Universal standard.  

Large selection of tools 
Quick hitch and large range available from Schaffer, Digga Australia, HIMAC attachments, and other leading brands.

All Schaffer loaders lift relatively heavy loads despite low operating weights. The tipping load of the smallest loader is already more than 1,000 kg. This is made possible by a specially designed front end. It is lower in comparison with the standard, improving the driver's view of the tool. The lifting cylinder is stronger. The thicknesses of the loader arm and samson posts were also increased to match the performance gains.

ABOUT SCHAFFER

Schaffer have been making articulated loaders in Germany for over 30 years and loaders for tractors for 25 years before that. Every Schaffer is the result of years of experience and innovative thinking. Our products set the standard for the highest possible reliability and durability.

Schaffer are one of the only manufacturers in the world to focus exclusively on articulated machines. Most other companies put a few articulated loaders in their mix as they know they are popular, but Schaffer primary focus is on these machines, making them the ideal choice.

Schaffer Loaders

You can rely on a Schaffer for lower costs across its operating life, and for performance, safety and driving comfort.

HTF: MAXIMUM THRUST, EVEN WHEN IN HIGH GEAR

High Traction Force (HTF) automatically regulates the thrust so the loader can supply the highest possible thrust even in a high gear. HTF uses a new axial piston-bent axis motor that regulates speed automatically depending on the traction. This is particularly useful in an uphill position as the driver does not have to switch to first gear.

HTF comes into its own when digging into aggregate material - if more thrust is required, the hydraulic motor adapts automatically, without the driver having to interfere manually. This means most of the work can be done in fast gear, increasing driving comfort and speeding up work. The Schaffer 2430, 2430 SLT, 2445 S, 4670 Z and 5470 Z are equipped and delivered with the HTF-drive as standard.

PERFECTLY DESIGNED

The practical toolbox that can be used to keep everything in order. Tools such as grease guns are stored safely and are always within reach.

Electrical fuses can be easily checked and replaced.

The steering column angle is adjustable. This is convenient and also makes going in and out easier.

The load arm features an elegant and strong design for the toughest of operations.

MAXIMUM IMPACT IN TIGHT SPACE

The Schaffer 2430 is as an enormously versatile and efficient compact wheeled loader that offers an operating weight from around 2.2 tonnes.

Thanks to its compact dimensions, the machine passes through low gates and easily manoeuvres in underground car parks. Operator access is easy thanks to the relatively low position of the seat. The loader is powered by an 18.5 kW (25 HP), 1.7 l Kubota engine: one of the highest-torque engines in this power bracket. The diesel-fuelled, low-emission unit does not require emission treatment. The standard-fit high-pressure transmission accelerates the agile artic loader rapidly to 20 km/h and develops a dependably high thrust. The automatic High Traction Force (HTF) thrust control eliminates the need for downshifting to get the maximum thrust, boosting your work rates and providing the maximum thrust also in range 2. The transmission is controlled electronically by the Schaffer Power Transmission (SPT) which pairs the hydraulic drive with the torque characteristics of the engine and translates into a substantially higher performance as efficiency and fuel economy increase.

ELECTRONICALLY REGULATED DRIVE FOR HIGHER COMFORT

Our new Kubota motor offers the highest possible torque in its class and is unique in the market of these loaders due to an electronically regulated drive – SPT or ‘Schaffer Power Transmission’. The drive is adapted to the torque of the diesel engine for multitude of advantages: operating costs decrease as the diesel fuel consumption is reduced.

Hill starts are a lot easier as the start-up assistant helps prevent the vehicle moving backwards. The optional potentiometer acts as cruise control. The loader keeps a constant speed automatically and independently from the motor speed – especially convenient when working with mulchers or brooms.

Additionally, there are several new safety functions, for example protection from overheating and motor over-revving protection, making working with the loader safer and more reliable. 

Benefits: 

THE WORKHORSE FOR EVERY DAY

Schaffer loaders increase productivity and are genuinely fun to drive. The Schaffer 2428-2 is suitable for operations of all kinds thanks to its perfect combination of performance, driving comfort and reliability. The hydrostatic traction drive delivers high thrust forces coupled with very low fuel consumption.

The machine is very simple and intuitive. The view of the attachments is excellent. The comfortable seating position guarantees relaxed and productive work at all times for the driver.

Schaffer axles - stability and safety guaranteed

Schaffer axles are optimised for each model. The force of the hydrostatic drive is converted into endless thrust. The perfect coordination of the complete drive system helps save fuel.
