2024 Brandt Construction Wheel Loaders Production 944K Hybrid

2024 Brandt Construction Wheel Loaders Production 944K Hybrid

Handling shot rock just got a shot in the arm at your quarry. The hybrid-electric 944K helps maximize productivity and efficiency at a lower daily operating cost. Everyone knows hybrid-electric drives burn less fuel. But they're highly productive, too, delivering quick, smooth, and responsive hydraulics; fast ramp-climbing capability; and strong pushing power. Plus control of automatic traction and rimpull helps eliminate wheel spin and tire wear, further reducing daily operating costs. The 944K Hybrid Loader boasts the biggest cab, quickest boom-raise time, and fastest cycle times in its class.

Features may include:

• PowerTech™ EPA Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/EU Stage IIIB engine coupled with a hybrid-electric drive delivers up to 40-percent fuel savings compared to the conventional drivetrains on competitors' models.

• Hybrid-electric drive system is designed to be more dependable. Brushless A/C generators and motors, water-cooled brake resistors, and solid-state power electronics deliver reliable, long-term performance. Reduced engine-speed range increases wear life over conventional drives.

• Quad-Cool design places coolers in a boxed configuration that's isolated from engine heat, for increased efficiency and durability. No other cooling system can come close to Quad-Cool's resistance to plugging and ease of cleaning.

• Hybrid-electric drive recaptures energy while slowing the loader when the operator lets off the accelerator. This lessens the load on the engine, further reducing fuel consumption.

• Flow-sharing hydraulic system boasts the fastest cycle times and the quickest boom-raise time in the 944K's size class, speeding short-pattern truck loading. Each boom and bucket function has its own hydraulic pump for quick, smooth operation, and faster truck loading.

• Rimpull control limits torque on the wheels in slick working conditions, preventing tire spin and slicing. Four settings can be incrementally selected through the sealed-switch module to optimize traction when crowding against a load.

• Engine runs at a choice of three constant operator-selected rpms, so boom and bucket functions are powerful, responsive, and quick, while optimum fuel efficiency is maintained. Reduces overall machine noise and operator fatigue.

• Strong pushing power and quick ramp-climbing ability make the 944K Hybrid an excellent choice for maintaining stockpiles and heaping hoppers in quarry operations and other production facilities.
