Rubber-tired loader KL21.5L

compactwith cabfor bales

Overview
The KL21.5L wheel loader combines maximum performance with a compact design and is ideal for agricultural operations. Its unique loading system provides excellent lifting and tear out forces, enabling the effortless movement of heavy loads such as silage bales, feed and manure pallets. Two engine options are available depending on requirements: 19 kW (standard) and 33 kW (optional). Powerful work hydraulics support specialist attachments such as spreaders.

Benefits at a glance

• Unique loading system: Combination of stroke (28.6 kN), tear out force (33.1 kN) and tipping load (2115 kg) enables effortless and safe handling of heavy loads (e.g. silage bales).
• Compact dimensions: Vehicle width of 1.32 m for confined working environments; optional maximum 400 mm wide tyres for larger contact area and improved stability in stables and warehouses.
• Cab variants: Two full-featured cab versions available: comfort cab (height 2.26 m) and low cab (height 2.11 m) offering 360° visibility and ergonomic controls.
• Getting in and driving off: Undivided vehicle frame, high stability, manoeuvrability and constant payload; three types of steering available (all-wheel, crab and front-wheel steering).
• Versatile quick change plates: Optional fully hydraulic Smart Attach quickhitch system for changing attachments from the cab; alternative quick change plates such as Euro-System also available.

Key features

• 360° all-round visibility: Excellent visibility due to large glazed areas and narrow cabin pillars; panoramic front windscreen ensures ideal view of the attachment; improves work quality and safety by optimising view of the work area.
• All-wheel steering: Undivided frame gives high stability even at full steering lock; maximum maneuverability due to steering angles up to 40° on both front and rear axles; consistent payload independent of steering angle.
• Low cabin: Low cab version suited for restricted clearance heights; different cabin options optionally available; offers comfort despite low design.
• Fast gear 30 km/h: Higher final speed saves time and allows quick transfer trips between nearby job sites; stepless acceleration from 0 to 30 km/h.
• Loader unit PZ-kinematics: High breakaway forces on tipping cylinder; precise parallel motion for attachments; combines benefits of P- and Z-kinematics.

Further highlights
Efficiency

• Pressure relief 3rd control circuit: Quick and easy coupling/uncoupling of attachments with additional hydraulic functions while engine runs; convenient pressure relief via optimally positioned button on loading system; saves time when changing hydraulically operated attachments.
• Combined brake-inch pedal: Simple and safe operation; wear-free regulation of working speed at high engine speeds; ensures maximum working hydraulics even at low travel speeds.
• Operating modes: Choice of Power, Eco and CSD (Constant Speed Drive); select the right mode for maximum output or fuel economy and noise reduction.

Maintenance

• Easy maintenance access: Wide-opening hood for engine compartment access; optimum accessibility of components for checking fill levels; vertical filters and additional maintenance openings enable quick service work.
• Automatic central lubrication system: Automatic lubrication of all lubrication points increases service life and value retention; adjustable time intervals and grease quantities; time and cost savings through bundled maintenance.

Safety

• Color-coded switches: Uniform colour scheme for hydraulic, electric, driving and safety features to minimise risk of mixing up switches and simplify fleet operation.
• One-piece vehicle frame: High stability on rough terrain; constant payload due to constant leverage ratios independent of steering angle; improved maneuverability reduces travel and cycle times.
• Front axle steering: Safe and familiar road travel at high speed; precise guidance of special attachments; easy maneuvering in trailer mode.

Variety

• Crab steering: Easy manoeuvring in confined spaces and gentle driving on sensitive surfaces; simple control combined with special attachments.
• Smart Attach (optional): Fully hydraulic quickhitch system enabling coupling of hydraulically driven attachments with automatic hydraulic connection, without getting out of the cab; increases productivity and flexibility; attachments changed within seconds.

Comfort

• Panoramic glazing: Optimum visibility across the entire lifting range; generous glass surfaces give a pleasant sense of space.
• Adjustable steering column: Allows ergonomic position for each driver and more space for getting in/out by folding away the steering wheel.
• Low-speed device and hand throttle: Easy operation of attachments requiring constant rpm and low travel speed; engine rpm and travel speed can be set individually for maximum productivity.
• Efficient cabin ventilation: Multi-stage fan and adjustable air vents; openable and 180° lockable doors as additional ventilation option.
• Load stabilizer: Automatic activation at high speeds, automatic deactivation at low speeds and three operating modes for gentle and precise handling.
