Sandvik upgrades the Toro™ LH209L low-profile loader with state-of-the-art Stage V technology

The Toro™ LH209L is a proven, robust low-profile loader, designed to deliver in extremely demanding applications with limited heights. Responding to customer needs and further improving the loaders performance and serviceability, Sandvik have introduced several updates to its 10-tonne class low-profile loader while simultaneously adding it to the Toro™ loader and truck family as the first low-profile model.

The upgraded Toro™ LH209L loader features a multitude of design improvements tailored to enhance performance, reduce downtime and control emissions. In addition to now accommodating the bull figure symbolizing Toro™ family loaders and trucks, the rear of the loader has been redesigned and reinforced to better withstand ground and roof impacts that are typical in low-profile operations. For improved serviceability, extremely flat covers contribute to easy access to the service and maintenance area on top of the loader. Other improvements include, new aluminium coolers, new transmission and several changes to the hydraulic system. From an equipment health monitoring perspective, the new machine is equipped with a new operator interface with 7-inch display, providing access to the simple and purpose-designed control system. The interface offers basic information about the loader condition and warns the operator before failures occur, preventing severe damage or potential downtime.

To serve a global customer base, Sandvik offers the Toro™ LH209L loaders with two different 8-liter engine configurations: a Stage 3A and a Stage V from Volvo Penta, both delivering 185 kW power output. To reduce particle emissions, both engines are available with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The Stage V engine comes with a DPF as standard, while the Stage 3A can be equipped with a DPF, if ultra-low-sulphur fuel is available at the operating site. For further reduced exhaust emissions, both engines can also utilize paraffinic diesel fuel that meets the requirements of EN 15940, contributing to lower environmental impacts as well as reduced consumption of fossil fuel. The Stage V engine option also features selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust gas technology to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides.
