Product Features and benefits:

Fuel-Efficient Powerhouse:

Introducing the SR Hybrid Drive, a revolutionary system fully embracing regeneration. As the wheels engage in braking or retarding, electrical motors seamlessly transform into generators, channeling power back into the electrical system. This groundbreaking technology translates to a staggering 45% reduction in fuel consumption compared to mechanical drive wheel loaders of similar size.

Unrivaled Payload Capacity:

Crafted for optimum productivity, the L-2350 wheel loader boasts the largest available payload options, effortlessly center-loading haulage trucks with payload ratings spanning from 320 to an impressive 400+ tons.

Peak Power Controls for Operational Efficiency:

Empower your operators with LINCS II, a cutting-edge network control system. Providing instantaneous, real-time feedback on crucial metrics like bucket height, angle, individual bucket payload, and total tons moved, it equips operators to maximize productivity by adapting swiftly to changing conditions.

Operator-Centric Design:

Prioritizing operator comfort, the capacious, environmentally controlled cab ensures exceptional visibility and a plush ride. Digital joysticks afford operators easy and responsive control, complemented by a highly adjustable, heated/cooled seat to mitigate driver discomfort.

Effortless Maintenance:

Multiple design features converge to minimize maintenance costs. The integrated, patented drive system with few components extends maintenance intervals, while strategically positioned access points facilitate rapid component change-outs, ensuring increased uptime for your machine.

Versatility in Action:

For operations involving frequent equipment relocations, this loader stands out. It not only keeps the pit floor clean and level without additional support equipment but also excels in mobility, travel speed, and the execution of tasks like berm maintenance, road repair, and cutting ramps.
