5 Reasons Why More Arborists Are Choosing Schäffer Loaders
Schäffer articulated loaders are increasingly becoming the go-to choice for arborists who prioritize performance and durability, and emerging as the best wheel loaders for tree care. Here are 5 reasons why — which you can come see for yourself November 16-18 at The TCI Expo (Tree Care Industry Expo), in St. Louis, Missouri, booth #817.
Top 5 reasons why Schäffer has the best wheel loaders for tree care
1. Unmatched Power-to-Lift-Capacity Performance
HP to HP, Schäffer loaders, particularly in the category of compact loaders for tree care, lead the pack with their exceptional lifting power. The 25 HP 2428 SLT, a high-capacity loader, can navigate a 36-inch gate and boasts a tipping load of 3,000 pounds—unprecedented for its power class and size, making it one of the top choices for arborists. Additionally, the 2430 SLT, sets a new industry benchmark in its power category as the only 25 HP loader worldwide capable of lifting 4,000 pounds, establishing it as a titan among ultra-compact loaders for the tree care industry. Both of these models will be showcased at the TCI Expo. The product line also includes models that offer a lift capacity of nearly 12,000 pounds, catering to a wide array of operational demands.
2. Superior German Engineering
Rooted in a brand legacy of nearly 70 years of innovation, Schäffer German-engineered articulated loaders are known for their meticulous design and exceptional quality. Every component is crafted to contribute to a powerful, efficient, and reliable heavy-duty loader. Choosing Schäffer means investing in proven excellence and performance built to stand the test of time.
3. Built to Last
In addition to superior power and performance, Schäffer heavy-duty loaders are designed for the long haul, built with enduring quality from robust steel components to the three-year-warranty-protected, maintenance-free articulating joint. Rejecting the industry-standard plastic panels, Schäffer loaders feature rugged engine compartments ready for the rigors of tree care work, combining the strength of larger construction-grade machines in a compact, space-efficient form.
