Northern Ireland based machinery manufacturer, Redrock Engineering Ltd, has introduced a new three tonne lift capacity pivot steer telehandler - the TH320 - which will replace the existing Redrock TH280S model originally launched in 2004.
According to the company, the TH320 is "not merely a TH280S with a cosmetic facelift, but is a completely new machine designed from the ground up with many market-leading features".
The result is a telehandler which "provides improved performance, operator comfort and serviceability."
ROUGH TERRAIN
The TH320 has been designed and built to operate in the most demanding of agricultural environments.
With the strongest chassis design in its class, a 126hp engine and its new-patented drive train layout, the TH320 has the strength, power and rugged ability needed by farmers and contractors to carry out a wide range of tasks.
"The completely new tilting cab (fully ROPS and FOPS tested) features increased operator headroom while keeping the overall height of the machine to a minimum, an improved air conditioning system, a quieter operator environment, an improved control layout and better visibility than comparative machines," the company explains.
"A major safety feature is the class-leading rear visibility that has been achieved by the clever engine layout, allowing the bonnet to be sharply raked to maximise the operator's rear vision. The result is an environment that will reduce operator fatigue for maximum productivity and safety over a long working day."
Designed to carry out an extensive range of tasks around the farm, the articulated TH320 provides excellent manoeuvrability.
It is ideal for use in confined or tight spaces and for jobs such as loading diet feeders, bedding, stacking round bales, as well as for winter feeding, harvesting and autumn/winter clean-out applications.
"All year round the TH320 is an invaluable asset for any farm business," says Redrock.
BOOSTING THE LINE-UP
The highly productive TH320 joins the well-established five tonne TH500 model in the Redrock telehandler line-up.
The TH500 has a 175hp 6 cylinder Iveco engine, coupled with a 5000 kg lift capacity, a 5.8m lift height and a 42 km/h top speed.
EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE
Redrock Engineering General Manager, Seamus Murchan, says: "We have extensive experience of designing and manufacturing rugged high quality telehandlers for the agricultural industry. The TH320 has many significant improvements in reliability, performance and operator comfort, with excellent all-round visibility, and is smooth, economic and efficient in operation".
James Fegan, Design Engineer, adds, "The TH320 has been designed following an extensive research and development programme and is part of our ongoing new model development initiative. Modern technology, end user requests and our own experience gained in the articulated telehandler market have been brought together to create a class leading machine."
Although primarily intended for agricultural applications, Redrock telehandlers are becoming increasingly popular in the recycling and waste handling sector, as well as for other industrial tasks.
"Redrock products are renowned over Europe for their strength, durability and quality of build and the new TH320 is certainly no exception," Seamus Murchan concludes.
The TH320 is currently undergoing extensive pre-production testing and will be available later this year.
