New From Tigercat: 234C Loader
Tigercat‘s long standing 234 series knuckleboom loader has added an all new model—the 234C—complete with a new boom system, new cab, improved hydraulic system and more swing torque. The new 234C boom system provides increased lift capacity, and quicker boom speeds, plus added cushioning on the boom cylinders mean smoother operation. Through-tip hose routing is another new feature: Hydraulic hoses to the grapple are now routed through the boom tip for increased hose protection.
The Tigercat loader engineering team had the operator in mind when designing the 234C. The new operator’s station is more comfortable with 16% greater internal volume, increased width, and more leg room. Joysticks and switches are mounted on the armrests within comfortable reach. Improved A/C and heater controls allow the operator to set the desired temperature for a more comfortable working environment. Climate controlled cup holders keep drinks hot or cold for longer, and dedicated in-cabin storage areas include a space for a full size Tigercat insulated lunch box.
Operator visibility has been improved with larger front and side windows. The wiper motor, radio and touchscreen display control system have all been relocated for improved sightlines. In addition, a redesigned swing motor cover further improves the operator’s line of sight to the work area.
Hydraulic system improvements include a new, larger main pump, and a new boom valve providing smoother boom control and improved flow sharing. Finally, swing torque has been increased by 13% over the 234B for improved pull-through delimbing performance.
