OUR NEW KNUCKLEBOOM LOADERS FOR SALE
The new Weiler K560 and K760 knuckleboom loaders each deliver an impressive 173 horsepower (129 kW) and have a maximum reach of 32 feet. Both machines fold into maneuverable sizes for transport, with a stowed width of 8 feet 6 inches, a height of 13 feet 3 inches and a length of 52 feet and 1 inch. These machines are made for long operating cycles and come with large-capacity 100-gallon fuel tanks as standard components.
These knuckleboom loaders also have features that set them apart:
K560
The K560 knuckleboom loader weighs in at 33,800 pounds and delivers a maximum swing torque of 79,173 pound-feet with a fast 11 RPM swing speed. Its hydraulic system supports performance through multifunctioning capabilities to lift, swing, and rotate the grapple. The hydraulic system is also durable to withstand the stress of heavy side-to-side movements during the workday. The loader’s foot pedals and joysticks are precise to give the operator superior feedback, helping them have smooth movements and fine control.
During operation, the driver can select one of three operating modes. Each maintains consistent system pressure, which promotes a high lift capacity and swing torque. These modes meet unique consumption and production requirements.
K760
The K670 knuckleboom loader is a heavy-duty machine with excellent hydraulics and fuel-efficient performance. The performance can also be precisely controlled through the operator’s joysticks and foot pedals. These controls smoothly move the machine for a superior feel. This machine provides 73,800 pound-feet of torque, a swing speed of 9.5 RPMs, and has an optional 1,440-pound counterweight. The K670 weighs 38,500 pounds.
This knuckleboom loader model also has three operating modes that meet production and fuel consumption requirements. Each mode maintains a consistent system pressure, equalizing the lift capacity and swing torque to enhance performance. The hydraulic system and components are durable and will last through the strenuous movements required in day-to-day work. Maintenance is simple since the engine, pilot, case drain filters, fuel, and oil fill pump are accessible from the ground level.
