One notable feature of this, the smallest machine in the range, is that it is powered by a four-cylinder Perkins engine of 144hp, rather than one of the company's own units.
It is fully 'stage V emissions' compliant thanks to a selective catalytic reduction module, an oxidation catalyst and a long-life particulate filter to reduce emissions.Comfort and security
Particular attention has been paid to operator comfort. The cab is said to offer enhanced operating comfort, an improved steering system and new electronic controls.Security is said to be much improved thanks to a new 'Smart Key' system on the control panel in the cab. The operator can start the machine using a keyless device, helping to prevent machine theft.
The new system provides remote door control, door lock and unlock, door release, searching and other functions. The control panel also includes two USB sockets, which are indispensable nowadays.Improved hydraulics
It comes equipped, as standard, with a thirtd spool valve which has a settable flow and detent function, providing a constant flow for hydraulically driven attachments. A fourth spool valve is available as an option. As a further aid to comfort and safety, it is fitted with a load isolation system that cushions the ride. At the heart of this feature lies a hydro-pneumatic accumulator linked to the lift hydraulic system.
