Tobroco-Giant has added three telescopic wheeled loaders to its range.
German manufacturer Tobroco-Giant has added three telescopic wheeled loaders to the Giant G2700 series.
In the case of two models, the G2700 Tele HD and the G2700Tele HD+, the preferred power plant is a 50hp Kubota diesel, while the G2700E takes another path.
Like the existing G2700E, the G2700E Tele is equipped with two electric motors - the first, a 7kW version to power the drivetrain, delivering a top speed of 20km/h, and the second, a 12kW motor for the hydraulic system, delivering an output of up to 40 litres/ minute.
The electric models in standard spec feature a 260Ah, maintenance free, lithium-ion battery that can utilise an on-board charger to recharge the standard battery from 20% up to 80% in around three and a half hours. An external 300Ah fast charger system is said to take just 50 minutes to boost the power of the optional 520Ah battery from 20% up to 80%. An optional 390Ah battery is also available.
The front section of the frame on the three newcomers is based on the G2700 X-Tra, although the 3.7 metre maximum lift height of all three models is almost 50% higher than the 2.5m delivered by X-Tra models. The standard hydraulic layout sees all pipework concealed within the boom, with all three models equipped as standard with a mechanical double-acting hydraulic service. Meanwhile, the two diesel versions are available with two proportional double-acting hydraulic services (single on the G2700E Tele). All three machines are expected to be available before the end of this year.
