2023 Brandt Remediation and Waste Wheel Loaders Production 944K Hybrid

2023 Brandt Remediation and Waste 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. Outstanding visibility with LED lighting options combined with smooth, responsive hydraulics help you work harder with less effort.

Features may include:

• John Deere PowerTech™ PSX 6135 13.5L (824 cu. in.) engine runs over an efficient speed-range band, lowering noise levels, improving fuel economy, providing consistent boom and bucket response, and reducing engine wear.

• Up to 40-percent fuel savings versus conventional drive for specific operations. Actual fuel consumption rates and savings will vary with machine application, utilization, operator, and model of competitive unit.

• 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.

• 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.

• More spacious cab is 10-in. wider than the 844K-II, making it the largest in its class.

• At only 108 dBA, noise is much less noticeable to bystanders than with other loaders, making this loader a good neighbor. For the operator, cab noise is only 72 dBA.

• The 944K is available with four bucket options, a 6.88-m³ (9.0 cu. yd) spade-nose rock bucket, 6.5-m³ (8.5 cu. yd) heavy-duty granite spade-nose rock bucket, a 7.65-m³ (10 cu. yd.) general-purpose pin-on bucket or a less bucket option.

• Hoses in the articulation area are routed using a unique ribbon system designed to eliminate rubbing and wear in difficult-to-reach areas.

• All daily service points including fueling are grouped for quick and convenient ground-level access.

• Filter bank and right-side service center are easily accessible, easing periodic maintenance and repairs.
