Telehandler TH522

Description

The Wacker Neuson TH522 telehandler is a versatile and powerful machine that offers a range of benefits to users. With a lift height of 16 ft. 7 in. and an operating capacity of 4,080 pounds with forks, the TH522 provides the reach needed to accomplish a variety of tasks quickly and efficiently. The robust and performance-driven design, including a 60-horsepower Tier 4 Final Turbo-charged Perkins engine, provides the digging and carrying capabilities of a powerful wheel loader. The TH522’s compact footprint, standard universal attachment plate, and quick-connect hydraulic connection block give it the maneuverability and versatility of a skid steer.

The TH522 is equipped with the Vertical Loading System (VLS) which allows the operator to choose between Bucket Mode and Fork Load to help prevent vehicle tipping in the longitudinal direction during static operation. This ensures maximum protection for the operator and machine. Fork Mode extends and retracts the boom automatically when the operator raises the arm, in order to keep the load in a vertical plane. This is ideal for shelf loading and similar tasks. By operating similarly to a forklift, the operator does not have to adjust (extend/retract) the boom while loading. In addition, a digital display monitors the load on the machine and both visually and audibly alerts the operator that the machine is at-risk of tipping.

The TH522 is characterised by the combination of strong engine output, high level of manoeuvrability and great lift height. Thanks to the all wheel steering and compact design, the TH522 is extremely manoeuvrable, and stacking and transport work is fast and easy even in the tightest of spaces. Equipped with sensitive work hydraulics and a hydrostatic drive, it is possible to use many different attachments.

The VLS (Vertical Lift System) is a driver assistance system that makes the work easier for the operator when lifting or lowering loads by extending and retracting the telescopic boom semi-automatically when lifting and lowering, respectively, without the operator having to additionally control the telescopic function. This makes smooth and quick work possible. The almost vertical lifting and lowering movement also makes the telehandler with the VLS very stable because the load does not enter into the overload area. Experienced operators can work even faster and safer with the VLS, while inexperienced operators receive valuable support for lifting and loading work. The VLS can be categorised into two different modes: In the bucket mode, the telescopic arm always automatically retracts within the upper and lower area and within the upper area the telescopic arm does not automatically extend, this is suitable, for example, for loading works with bulk material. The stacking mode, the telescopic boom does not automatically retract within the lower area, in the upper area the telescopic boom automatically extends, it is possible to simultaneously lower and extend the telescopic arm, this is, for example, suitable for stacking work with pallets.

The TH522's ergonomic joystick is designed to provide direct and sensitive control. Alongside the standard functions, e.g. selection of the direction of travel and the speed level, it is possible to operate many other functions, like e.g. the differential lock, the 3rd and 4th control circuit, high-flow and all electrical functions, via the joystick. This means that attachments can be comfortably operated using one hand and the operator therefore always has the key functions under control. This increases efficiency and ensures fatigue-free work, even over a longer period of time. The 3rd control circuit function can be proportionally operated using the joystick. The 3rd control circuit’s continuous operation can likewise be activated via a switch by moving the thumbwheel on the joystick in both directions. The telescopic function can also be operated proportionally so
