Description
The M18 is a material handling machine developed by Officine Minelli, specifically designed for fast and continuous material handling operations. The 18-ton monster dazzles the operator with a 2400 mm axis and 2500 mm width, and the vehicle also complies with the EU STAGE V* emission standard.
What else does the M18 offer?
- the sound performance complies with the 2000/14/CE and 2005/88/CE standards,
- PowerCore® air filter with microcyclone pre-filter,
- automatic battery switch,
- integrated diagnostic system,
- automatic idle control,
- fuel filter with water separator and fuel preheater,
- 12 V DC water heater,
- electric fuel pump.
The hydraulic system
The Linde Load Sensing system ensures synchronized movements independent of load. This design results in precise control, a higher degree of operator comfort and significant energy savings.
The system consists of a Load Sensing modular proportional distributor with increased capacity for primary and secondary arm functions. It is powered by a variable displacement axial piston pump.
What else should you know?
The upper superstructure has a maximum rotation speed of 6-8 rpm, while the lower superstructure offers a maximum speed of 4 km/h and 12 km/h in 2-speed mode. The axle load on both axles is 22 tons, while the FEM-tested arms have a curved arm length of 4650 mm, and the hydraulically adjustable telescopic arm length can be adjusted between 2300-3300 mm. The total extension is 8 m.
The TERA7 system
This innovative electronic diagnostic system communicates all the collected machine parameters via a 7” color display. It helps to understand these with easy-to-understand graphics. In addition to the anti-tip feature, it also warns the operator when problems or abnormalities are detected and indicates the level of the error. In addition, the system also provides information about service times.
