La fel ca la modelele mai mari, S450 oferă un confort și o vizibilitate semnificativ îmbunătățite, pentru a permite un control și o precizie sporite în spații înguste.
În plus, pentru prima dată la un încărcător compact de această dimensiune, cabina este complet presurizată, iar aerul condiționat este disponibil opțional.
Other key features of the S450 include: increased efficiency and hydraulic performance; a new tailgate; an integrated rear bumper and simplified maintenance.
The S450 offers full compatibility with a full range of 48 different approved attachment families (with more to be added in the future), making it the ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.
Wider cab and increased operator comfort
The S450 cab is derived directly from the cab of the top-class Bobcat loaders and has been carefully designed to maintain the machine’s compactness while improving comfort and controllability.
The cab interior is 10% larger than the previous model, with more space for the operator. Moving the side windows to the outside of the cabin is one of the factors that has helped to increase space in the cockpit, as well as making them easier to clean. The lowered sill and enlarged door make it easier to enter and exit the cabin.
Panoramic visibility has been improved by 30% compared to the previous S130. The cab has been repositioned 5 cm further forward to give a better view of the working area. Front visibility is further improved by increasing the door size by 45% and repositioning the cross member lower.
New front work lights help improve forward visibility thanks to a 50% increase in total power.
The upper window is over 40% wider than the S130. The rear and side windows offer more visibility and the lower side windows have been widened by over 16% to improve visibility to the wheels.
The rear grille and cooling module are now in a lowered position. Together with the 14% larger rear window, the changes significantly improve visibility to the rear of the car.
Increased hydraulic performance and efficiency
Hydraulic performance has been improved by increasing system pressure and modifying hydraulic components and hose and tube arrangements to allow the use of straight hydraulic connections instead of swivel (45° or 90°).
The number of hydraulic connections has also been reduced. These changes improve overall efficiency and simplify hose routing, while reducing friction points and the risk of leaks.
The new tailgate has been redesigned by reducing its height and inserting reinforcements to ensure optimum strength with a smaller footprint. This made it possible to integrate the tailgate protection directly into the chassis.
Oil in the hydraulic exhaust system is filtered by a 10 micron filter before reaching any critical components in the system. More effective electrical protection is provided by dedicated fuses for individual circuits and mounted in an easily accessible box next to the battery.
The tension of the drive belt is now regulated by an automatic tensioner (torsion spring). This means that only the stop plate needs to be adjusted, while the belt does not require any adjustment.
