The Claas 848 Scorpion telehandler has been launched
Agricultural machinery specialists Claas has released its Scorpion 848 telehandler which has a payload capacity of 4.8T and a lift height up to 8m.
The telehandler has a Deutz four-cylinder engine developing 156hp and is equipped with Dynamic Power which automatically adjusts engine speed relative to the position of the joystick.
Claas says when the telescopic arm is lowered without a pad, engine speed is automatically reduced.
The Scorpion 848 is equipped with the fully automatic Varipower Plus as standard.
“In addition to the Varipower wide-angle hydrostat with a 45-degree pivot angle, a second variable displacement motor with a 32-degree pivot angle is used here,” Claas explains.
“Together with the standard differential lock, this ensures that sufficient thrust, tractive force and traction are always available.”
Claas now offers nine Scorpion nine telehandlers extending from 3.3T to 6T payload capacities, with lift heights between 6.23m and 9.75m.
