Greater lifting capacity for Case IH Farmlift telescopic handlers

In 2019, the Case IH Farmlift telescopic handlers will benefit from new features designed to improve their capacity, comfort and performance.

Increased lifting capacity to reduce cycle times
Thanks to the increased lifting capacities of the main models, payloads are heavier, which reduces the number of cycles per task. The maximum lifting capacity of the two models with a lift height of 6 m has been increased by 100 kg.

As a result, the maximum lifting capacity of the Farmilft 633 is 3 300 kg, while that of the 636 is 3 600 kg.

With a lift height of 7 m, the Farmlift 737 has an additional lifting capacity of 200 kg, reaching 3 700 kg.

New transmissions for working and travelling faster
The lifting capacity of the Farmlift 742 at 7 m / 4 200 kg and of the Farmlift 935 at 9,1 m / 3 500 kg remains unchanged, but the entire range benefits from a number of developments, including a new transmission with automatic gear shifting that selects the right gear for the operation being carried out.

The Farmlift 633, 737 and 935 models are fitted as standard with a 4x3 transmission with manual gear shifting.

As an option, they can be equipped with a 6x3 semi-automatic transmission, which operates automatically between gears four, five and six. Both transmissions allow a maximum transport speed of 34 km/h.

The 636 and 742 models are fitted as standard with a 6x3 transmission that is fully automatic in forward gears and can also operate in semi-automatic mode between gears four, five and six in forward, which makes road driving easier.

These models also benefit from a maximum transport speed of 40 km/h for faster travel from one site to another, and from a Memory shuttle function where the shuttle lever selects the last gear used when changing direction, ensuring a smooth shift.

Both transmissions feature a new electronic modulation system, which further improves the smoothness of gear changes and direction reversals, increasing driving comfort.

The gear ratios have been improved for better performance in situations where high traction is required, such as driving on slopes, silage work or loading operations.

In addition, all models are now fitted with a more efficient torque converter.

Combined with the new transmission ratios, it allows the maximum speed to be reached more quickly and delivers more power to the ground.

Among the other driveline developments, new industrial tyres are offered as an option for intensive use. Available on all models, the Michelin BibLoad tyres are supplied in size 460/70 R24.

Improved driving comfort and simplified maintenance
The new features of these Farmlift models include a number of upgrades designed to improve operator comfort. Automatic wheel alignment, available on all models, removes the need to align the front and rear wheels before changing steering mode.

In addition, the use of tools requiring additional hydraulic power is made easier by a pressure release system located on the front light bracket, which controls the function remotely.

Two optional automatic lubrication and greasing systems, fully integrated into the machine, are available on all models, so that all greasing points on the chassis and boom are perfectly lubricated without any operator intervention.

The first is an electronically controlled pump for greasing the chassis, axles, boom pivot points and cylinders, while the second is a hydraulically controlled lubrication pump located on the boom head for greasing all the moving points of the boom. This second option is controlled by the movement of the tilt cylinder.

Both options are designed to ensure the greasing points are lubricated, while allowing the operator to reduce the time spent on maintenance and keep their hands clean.

In the cab, comfort is improved by a new heated seat with optional air suspension on all models, while ergonomics are enhanced by a tilting and telescopic steering column, fitted as standard on the Farmlift 636 and 742, and offered as an option on the Farmlift 633, 737 and 935.
