New addition to the mid-power range
Meanwhile, the mid-range TORION series has also been strengthened with the addition of a new power-packed model with an attractive power-to-weight ratio – the TORION 1511 P.
The new TORION 1511 P brings with it more power, because as well as more engine output and torque, the TORION 1511 P also features a more powerful drive for noticeably enhanced driving dynamics.
Under the bonnet is a 6.8 l six-cylinder DPS Stage V engine compliant with a rated output of 228 hp, which is precisely 40 hp more than in the TORION 1511. With a maximum torque of 900 Nm at 1,600 rpm, there is sufficient reserve capacity for even the highest clamp. What’s more, the TORION 1511 P operates extremely efficiently with the assistance of the DYNAMIC COOLING function which adjusts the fan speed from 100 to 1,050 rpm to suit the cooling requirement. The time interval for fan reversal, supplied as standard, can be adjusted in the control terminal.
The engine is mounted crosswise and well back in the machine, this provides excellent access for maintenance and acts as a counterbalance, so less extra ballast is needed at the rear of the TORION.
The oil pump capacity on the VARIPOWER drive has been increased to 145 ccm to provide additional dynamism, allowing the TORION 1511 P to reach a SMART ROADING top speed at a quiet, fuel-efficient 1800 rpm. By comparison, the hydraulic pump on the TORION 1511 has a capacity of 105 ccm. During rapid load cycles the new TORION 1511 P also benefits from its low operating weight, which is 300 kg below that of the TORION 1511, producing a favourable power-to-weight ratio of just 62 kg/hp.
The VARIPOWER drive features three driving ranges to ensure that the optimum gear ratio is selected at all times. The second axial piston motor is automatically disconnected at speeds of over 16 km/h. VARIPOWER also offers the same driving performance in forward and reverse and hydraulic braking assistance to reduce wear on the brakes and tyres.
Large tyres up to 750/65 R26 and two drive axles with self-locking differentials with a 45 percent lock value provide outstanding traction even under difficult conditions. The mudguards on the front wheels can be infinitely adjusted inwards by up to 10 cm to provide an optimum view of the outer edges of the front wheels when working up against the walls of the clamp and helps prevent damage to the mudguards. The height of the mudguards can also be adjusted by 36 cm for clamp operations.
Just like the other three models in the mid-range TORION series, the TORION 1511 P can be equipped either with P- or Z-kinematics, and optional vibration damping including four operating modes. The optional high-lift arm increases the bucket pivot point from 3.93 m to 4.51 m. Automatic functions such as the programmable SMART LOADING bucket return or the lift height and lowering limiter make for easier handling and increased handling capacity.
And like the other TORION in the mid-range series, the loader unit can be operated using the multi-lever control, joystick or multifunction control lever. As an option, the TORION 1511 P can also be supplied with a weighing system with programmable target weights.
The maximum available flow rate of the load-sensing hydraulics in the TORION 1511 P is a full 228 l/min – 58 l/min more than the TORION 1511 – and the responsiveness of the individual hydraulic functions can be adjusted from the cab. Up to 126 l/min at 200 bar is available to the third and fourth control circuit.
