SCHÄFFER 2428 SLT Wheel loader

Schäffer 2428 SLT compact wheel loader lifting tree

THE ONLY COMPACT WHEEL LOADER THAT CAN LIFT OVER 3,000 LBS AND FIT THROUGH A 36″ GATE*

The unique Schäffer 2428 SLT has a low center of gravity which allows for a high tipping load with optimum stability. The total height is only 6 ft 3.6 in. and the overall width, ranging from 35” to 49.2″, open up operation options that are simply not feasible for larger wheel loaders or skid steers. Our best-selling model is much more than just an ultra-compact loader — it is a full-fledged construction piece of equipment.

REMARKABLY HIGH-PERFORMING COMPACT DESIGN
AND AGILITY

An industry first, the Schäffer 2428 SLT offers true construction-grade power and performance, packaged in a body slim enough to navigate through gates as narrow as 36” (with select wheels) and with a clearance height of just over 6 ft. Its size, coupled with Schäffer’s superior swivel joint design, makes the 2428 SLT an agile loader that easily gets around tight spaces, making residential jobs much more efficient and safe.

PURPOSE-BUILT FOR WHEN SIZE — AND LIFTING POWER — MATTER

With a tipping load of over 3,000 lbs**, the Schäffer 2428 SLT makes those jobs that could only be accessed with stand-behind equipment or sub-par mini loaders lacking the necessary lifting performance, a thing of the past. This wheel loader offers mighty lifting power and standout durability, with a highly-efficient 25 hp diesel engine.

**Refers to straight bucket according to ISO 8313.

COMFORT AND ERGONOMICS

In addition to the exceptional all-around and attachment visibility that characterizes all Schäffer loaders, the 2428 SLT comes with either an open-air ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure) or an optional air-conditioned/heated enclosed cab.

The following Schäffer special features come standard in the 2428 SLT:

Schäffer Power Transmission (SPT) is an electronically-controlled autodrive that adapts to the torque properties of the diesel motor, allowing for lower fuel consumption, easier start up on slopes and “Cruise Control” function via an optional potentiometer.

The SLT configuration allows this model to access low clearances by lowering both the machine itself to a lower clearance height, as well as its center of gravity, which provides added stability.
