News

Construction Plant News have written a fantastic article on the GIANT V452T X-tra HD Loader and it's happy customer, Christiaan Paul; Director of Fresh Approach, Desing & Build.

Christiaan uses his loader for numerous tasks thanks to its super narrow design:

"Our Tobroco-Giant machine is a multi-tasker. It can grade, load and move material around the site very quickly and there is a decent range of attachments available. At 1350mm wide its narrow enough to access our typical jobs."

"Just yesterday we moved six tonnes of Type1 and 20 sleepers straight out of the lorry onto a driveway with just two guys and we find we are using the machine most days. We'll be adding a 4-in-1 bucket soon and that will make moving muck away during our extension builds much easier, and allow us to clean up complete piles of earth much faster."

New innovations
The frame is largely the same and the line-up of engines is unchanged well. Most of the innovations have been applied to the enclosed mechanics of the machine such as a new valve block providing  extra user-friendliness and the ability to perform tasks precisely. Furthermore, the skid steer loaders are equipped with a larger hydraulic pump for more power and higher yield.

Larger wheel motors provide more push and pull, better driving characteristics and are also low maintenance. In addition, it is now also possible to easily change tyres. Depending on the work, a large number of different tyres can be selected. These can even be changed on location and give the machine a width between 76 (!) And 110 centimetres.

The new operator platform is suspended and easy to fold. This gives the driver more comfort and ensures that the machines are compact to transport. Optionally, the skids can be equipped with a soft brake. With this system, the skidsteer slows gradually after releasing the steering levers.

Many options
In addition to this braking system, various options are available that contribute to the efficient and safe execution of work. For example, by applying a hydraulic quick change. Changing tools can then be done easily and quickly without having to move away from the machine. For working with hydraulically driven tools (rotary mower, sweeper, hydraulic hammer, etc.) the machines can be equipped with a double gear pump and multiple double-acting functions are possible.

For work inside buildings or around animals, the two diesel variants can be equipped with an integrated diesel particulate filter. This filter reduces emissions with more than 90%, which benefits the working climate. In addition, the skids can be equipped with a cyclone filter so that the air filter will pollute less quickly and last longer.

Countless fields of application
This compact powerhouse is not just about lifting sand, concrete or bags of cement on a construction site. The skid steer does its job in all sectors! For gardeners by transporting soil, plants or tiles. At recycling companies, the skid steer keeps the floors under conveyor belts clean. Due to its compact sizes, the skid steer can reach locations where other machines won’t fit.

In case of farmers, riding schools and poultry farms, the machine is suitable for mucking out stables and corridors and for supplying straw, food or hay.

For municipalities, the machine is a valuable tool for maintaining, among others, narrow paths and surfaces. With tools such as a weed brush, sweeper or snow blade, the skid replaces a number of other machines. The smallest GIANT has also proven its worth in construction and demolition. Not only by the removal and transport of various loads, but also for demolition work by the use of a hydraulic hammer. Because of its low weight it is possible to use the machine inside a building to break and demolish.

The Tobroco Giant headquarters are based in Holland, and have appointed TOBROCO-GIANT UK as the nationwide distributor of the multipurpose Giant machines and attachments; tailor-made to suit a range of sectors including agricultural, construction, landscaping and infrastructure.

We are very excited about the growing number of opportunities for TOBROCO GIANT UK, and can’t wait to see our dealer network grow even further.

If you are interested in becoming a UK dealer for this expanding company, email info@tobroco-giant.uk today!

Strong growth
The first GIANT wheel loader was produced in 2001 and since then the demand for GIANT machines has increased rapidly. Because of this demand and the expansion of the range with telescopic loaders and telehandlers, TOBROCO-GIANT produced the 10,000^th machine in 2014. In 2016 the company has recorded a seventh consecutive year of annual sales growth as manufactures of GIANT machinery. This growth was achieved by the introduction of new models such as skid steer loaders and the expansion of its worldwide dealer network. The increased sales have meant a 50% rise in produced machines within three years as last week the 15,000^th GIANT rolled off the production line. 

About GIANT
TOBROCO Machines is the manufacturer of GIANT (telescopic) wheel loaders, telehandlers, skid steer loaders and attachments. The company was founded in 1996 and in 2001 it started producing GIANT wheel loaders. TOBROCO Machines offers one of the broadest portfolios in the industry with a total of 36 different models in 40 countries. All machines are designed and built in our modern factory in Oisterwijk. In addition, TOBROCO Machines started in 2013 with a factory in Hungary, where mainly the cutting and welding of the machines and attachments takes place. At present, there are 160 employees working in Oisterwijk and 70 employees in Eger, Hungary.

The wheel loaders will be represented by two models: GIANT D332SWT and V452T. The D332SWT will be the smallest loader on the stand, with a service weight of 1500 kg, 33 hp diesel engine and tipping load of more than 1000 kg. The V452T is one of the bestselling models and for good reasons. With its 45 hp engine, low service weight (2,400 kg) and high tipping load (2,050 kg) this machine is capable to perform every job on a farm.  

Besides the loaders there will be two telescopic wheel loaders on display. The D254SW TELE is the smallest and most compact machine with a service weight of 1100 kg, width of only 92 centimetres and lifting height of more than 2,8 meters. The second machine is the V5003 TELE which is equipped with an reliable 50 hp Kubota diesel engine and is powered by heavy 12-tonnes axles. The V5003 TELE can reach a top speed of 25 km/h and heights up to 4.3 (!) meters with the extendable lifting arm.

When there is nog enough space for a (telescopic) wheel loader, a skid steer loader is the ideal solution. These little giants have a very short wheelbase (74 cm) and low service weight (starting from 750 kg). With a tipping load of 230 kg, the skid steer loaders will take over hard labour. From the three  available models there will be the SK251D on display. This skid steer is equipped with 25 hp diesel engine and driven by 4 powerful hydraulic wheel motors.    

Last machine on the stand will be one of the two available telehandlers, the 4548 TENDO HD. GIANT telehandlers are designed to manoeuvre in tight spaces and on rough terrain.  This makes the machine perfect to use both inside and outside. The 4548 TENDO HD is equipped with a 45 hp diesel engine, has a service weight of 2950 kg and lifting height 4,8 meters! 

Our experts can provide detailed information about all these compact machines at LAMMA’17.  The fast, heavy duty and powerful Giants, combined with their versatility proves itself how they are truly an all-in-one tool. We hope to welcome you at stand G55!

Compact design, big in performance
GIANT machines designed to operate in tight spaces and on rough terrain. Those benefits come in handy when you are working in stables. Depending on the tyres, the machines vary in width between 78 en 210 centimetres. The height starts at 2 meters for a machine with safety roof and 2,2 meters for a machine with a cabin. By selecting a foldable safety roof the height of a machine will decrease with 34 centimetres!

Despite the compact sizes and low service weight, these machine are capable to deliver a high pulling force and tipping load. A good example is the smallest wheel loader available. This machine has a service weight of 1.100 kg, but it has a tipping load of 1.000 kg. So the machine can almost lift its own weight. When there is nog enough space for a wheel loader, a skid steer loader is the ideal solution. These little giants have a very short wheelbase (74 cm) and low service weight (starting from 750 kg). With a tipping load of 230 kg, the skid steer loaders will take over hard labour. 

If a machine with more lifting power is required then the V452T wheel loader is the perfect machine for the job. With its four-cylinder engine (45 hp),  automatic gear and heavy planetary final drive, the V452T is considered to be a comfortable loader. Due to a high oil flow to the working hydraulics the machine is capable to work with heavy attachments that need a high output.

Specific attachments
It’s not only the machine that is of great importance but also the attachments. GIANT has  a specific range of attachments for the equine industry. Besides the standard attachments like manure forks, bale clamps and pallet forks there are various special attachments available. For example a vacuum unit to collect horse manure, levellers to prepare the riding area’s or a manure container. Because of continuous developments this range will expand even further. 

Leading role in a video
The machines that are mentioned above have a leading role is a video that has been recorded at Academy Bartels, a well-known training facility led by the Bartels family. They have participated in 6 Olympic Games and have won 3 Olympic medals. The video shows that GIANT machines are more than capable to perform a wide variety of tasks in the horse industry.

Safety and stability of machines
“As manufacturer the safety and stability of our machines have the highest priority,” explains Hein-Jan Hoogers, CE-coordinator at Tobroco Machines. “We have been manufacturing GIANT machines for 15 years now and at the moment we build 60 machines a week. These machines need to be safe for the operator and his surroundings! We have been cooperation with Aboma since 2002 because they are a leading company with a proven track record within their area of specialism. During an extensive testing period they have investigated its design, usage, stability, noise levels, etc. We are satisfied that the TENDO is compliant with all the new regulations.”

International standards
EN ISO 12100 is an international standard for the safety of machinery (general) and EN 1459 is an European standard for the safety of industrial trucks - Self-propelled variable reach trucks. For Tobroco Machines these international safety standards are important because the machines are shipped to 40 countries. Because the telehandlers are compliant with these standards, the safety of the TENDO  is recognized for all countries.

Other companies that were awarded are Royal Philips N.V. in the category of Large Enterprise and Koppert Cress B.V. in the category of Sustainable Entrepreneurship. The award winners were praised during the ceremony for their courage, decisiveness, perseverance, sustainability and innovation; the features that distinguishes a great company from the good ones. Among the more than 250 attendees were many dignitaries including the President of the Dutch Central Bank, Commissioner of the King and the mayor of Eindhoven. In addition, the top of the Dutch business community was represented including previous award winners of the King Willem I prize.

The V5003 HD wheel loader is a “Heavy Duty” version of the standard V5003 and has a service weight of 3.400 kg and lifting height of 3.2 meter. HD means that the machine has a higher pulling force. And this results in a higher driving speed with a maximum of 28 km/h. The standard of the V5003 HD is equipped with a lifting arm with Z-kinematics and this make the machine extremely versatile.

Especially for customers that have a demand for a high productivity, GIANT has introduced the V5003 X-TRA HD. This machine is characterized by a so-called P-kinematics. This means  a lower front frame and thus a lower centre of gravity of the load in comparison with the machine, resulting in a significantly higher tipping load (3.800 kg). An additional advantage is the excellent visibility of the operator on his/her work, which improves safety of the working conditions as well. The X-TRA HD machines are often used for road construction and earth moving.

With the V5003 TELE HD, GIANT introduces the first “Heavy Duty” version of a telescopic wheel loader. The compact sizes and low service weight (3.850 kg) makes this machine the perfect telescopic loader. Despite its compactness the V5003 TELE HD can drive with a maximum speed of 28 km/h and lift till a height of 4.3 meters!

All V5003 models are already equipped with  various standard options. The ROPS / FOPS safety roof, including safety doors,  in combination with a luxury sprung seat ensures a safe and comfortable working environment for the operator.  Besides the standard options GIANT has a full range of options and attachments available to make the machines perfect to use for many applications.

TOBROCO Machines, located in Oisterwijk, The Netherlands, is the manufacturer of GIANT (telescopic) wheel loaders, telehandlers, skid steer loaders and attachments. The company was founded in 1996 and the production of wheel loaders started in 2001 in an old stable. After the introduction the company showed a yearly grow of approximately 20%. This year will be the first year that TOBROCO will produce 2500 GIANT’s and they will be shipped to 40 countries. In 2013 TOBROCO has opened a factory in Hungary, where the welding and cutting of loader frames and attachments takes place. At the moment there is an enthusiastic team of 140 employees in Oisterwijk and 70 employees in Eger (Hungary).

Sales of GIANT skidsteer goes like a rocket

Six months ago the GIANT open days took place in their factory in Oisterwijk (NL). During this event GIANT surprised the visitors with the introduction of the skidsteer. It was an extension of the existing product range of (telescopic) wheel loaders and telehandlers. Since its introduction, there has been a huge demand for skid steers. Those who still want to order a skidsteer which will be delivered before the end of this year, should be fast…

Because of the market demand was known that there is a large market for this machine in the agricultural sector. To everyone’s surprise the skidsteer is sold in several other sectors, such as construction, landscaping and for private use. Due to its low weight (750 kg) and compact size, it can easily be transported on a trailer.

Currently, GIANT has 3 models of skidsteers in the program. The GIANT SK 211 G is powered by a gasoline engine ( 21 hp) and the other two models have a Kubota diesel engine (20 and 25 hp). The wheels are driven by four powerful wheel engines. In addition, the skidsteer offers a lot of hydraulic possibilities to drive the various attachments.

Extra pulling force GIANT D337T

The GIANT D337T has optional the opportunity to equip the machine with 2 gears. This option has been modified, so the machine with a second gear will be equipped with a heavy duty drive. As a result, the pulling force of this machine will increase by 27%. The first gear offers a speed of 0 to 10 km per hour and the second gear offers a speed of 0 to 25 km per hour. For the 2 gears the machine will be equipped with a Heavy Duty drive.

The Heavy Duty version of this machine has been developed in response to market demand. This GIANT D337T is a well sold machine in the agricultural sector because of its compact design and high tipping load (1,450 kg). The users often pushes this machine to its limits. With the double speed the machine offers an even higher performance.

Automatic greasing system

GIANT offers for several models an automatic greasing system. The compact system has a unique cartridge for easy refill and offers an accurate, viscosity-independent grease supply over a wide temperature range. The pump is easy to program with integrated touch pads and LCD display.

The 1.7 litre cartridge, however, offers the right grease volume to meet the lubrication needs and larger service intervals of your GIANT. The system is available with a strong 12 or 24 Volt electric motor and features an 8 mm (0.32 inch) pump element as a standard, providing 0,26 cm3 (0.16 in3] of grease per cycle.

The easy to program timer with integrated LCD display with intuitive touch pads makes programming of the system extremely easy. Lubrication intervals can be set from 1 to 300 minutes, while the grease volume is defined by the number of revolutions of the pump rather than by a pre-set timing. As a result, the automatic greasing system supplies exactly the right grease quantity over a wide temperature range, independent of the viscosity of the grease. The number of pump revolutions can be programmed from 1 to 99 revolutions per grease cycle, which together with the forced stroke of the pumping elements result in an incomparable accuracy.

The automatic greasing system is available for the following models:

• V452T
• V452T X-TRA
• V452T HD
• V452T X-TRA HD
• V501
• V761T
• V501 TELE
• V761T TELE

Weed brush

With the renewed weed brush from GIANT, you can quickly remove your weeds, without having to use toxic substances. The brush has a diameter of 800 mm and is made of braided steel covered in a plastic lining. Because of the stiff bristles and high rotational speed, the weeds will be swept away. The brush is powered exclusively by hydraulics.

Besides the hydraulic function for rotating the brush, there is a second hydraulic connection on the lifting arm necessary for angling of the entire arm. This makes the brush has a reach of 2,2 meters. As standard, the weed brush is equipped with a mudguard.

Optionally, a hydraulic tilting of the brush is also possible. Because of a 6/2 valve, which will be mounted on the weed brush, a 12 Volt socket on the lifting arm is required (so an extra hydraulic function is not necessary).

Renewed jib booms

GIANT has renewed the offer of jib booms. In the new booms are sliding blocks mounted, which ensure a good guidance during extension and retraction of the boom. The jib boom is ideal for transporting heavy materials, and other lifting operations which must be carried out in a responsible way.

The new jib booms are available in 3 different sizes: 130 – 200 cm (full retracted and extended), 160 – 260 cm and 230 – 380 cm. All types are available both in a mechanical version as in a hydraulic version. The mechanical version has to be extended manually and can be fastened by a pin in a hole of the arm. The hydraulic version slides out by a cylinder which is mounted on the jib boom.

Further technical details are listed in the table below:

The mowing season is coming!

Temperatures rise and the frost disappears. That means that the mowing season is coming again! GIANT has now temporarily both the flail mower and the flail mower with collector on stock.

Flail mower

The flail mower offers the driver a very good view on his work. The mower is available in three different working widths and can be used both for mowing lawns tight as rough terrain. For optimal performance are different flails available for the mower. Additionally, you can mount loose verticutting blades between your flails. These blades hit the moss from your lawn and make a slit between the grass. This allows the lawn to breathe. As standard, the mower is equipped with the so-called “Y” flail blades.

The mower is powered by a hydraulic motor. This is connected to the double acting hydraulic valve on the lifting arm. The hydraulic motor requires an oil input of 35 to 40 liters per minute. This makes the mower suitable for all GIANT models. A leakage oil connection is not required, but recommended. The pressureless return ensures that the hydraulic oil doesn’t have to go back through the valve to the oil reservoir, so the heating of the oil is limited. For intensive long-term use, we recommend a double gear pump on your GIANT.

Flail mower with collector

The flail mower with collector offers besides the functionalities of the flail mower, that grass rests, leaves, branches and/or manure is sucked into the collector. This will keep your lawn or meadow clean and fresh. Also for the flail mower with collector are several blades available.

The flail mower with collector is available in cutting widths of 1,20 meters (700 liters collector) and 1,60 meters (900 liters collector). On the attachment is a heavy hydraulic motor mounted, that drives flail shaft hydraulically. The high rpm of the shaft creates a suction effect, making the grass, leaf debris and even manure is sucked into the collector. The high speed also creates a tightly mown lawn. In the frame are two slotted holes allowing the flail mower has freedom of moving, in comparison to the base frame. A chain between the frame and the wheel loader enables the lifting of the mower. The collector can be discharged by a second double-acting hydraulic function in front of your wheel loader. In addition, a leak-oil connection is required. Optionally there is a tine bar in front of the mowing unit, enabling the flail mower to function as paddock cleaner as well.

Cutter arm with mulching unit

GIANT offers a cutter arm which is suitable as a front attachment. Unlike when the device is installed behind a tractor or loader, the driver has a good view on his work. The modern cutter arm is perfect for mowing roadsides and ditch borders and pruning hedges and various planting beds.

The cutter arm has a reach of 3,4 meters and has a hydraulic obstacle protection. This protects the arm and the mower from damages. In addition, the cutter arms have a parallel arm geometry. This relieves the driver, because the position of the tool doesn’t has to be corrected when changing the scoop. A mulching unit is mounted on the arm with two hydraulically driven, rotating blades. The mower has a working width of 1,25 meters.

For optimal functioning of the mower, your GIANT has to possess a minimum oil output of 46 L/min (210 bar). In addition, a double gear pump, stabilo system and pro-inching are required. The patented stabilo system ensures high stability of the machine. With the pro-inching function, the mower operates on a fixed rpm and you can control your driving speed with the foot pedal. A leak oil connection and 12 Volt connection on the lifting arm are also required.

The control of the arm and mower will take place in the cabin, through more-lever cable control or single-lever electro-proportional control. With the more-lever principle, you can operate four levers each with a cable connected to cutter arm. You can also choose for single-lever control. For this option you control an electro-proportional joystick, and you can turn the mower on and off. After using the mower you can disconnect the mower with the hydraulic quick change, so the wheel loader can also be used for other activities.

New rotary mowers

GIANT has switched to better quality rotary mowers. The new mowers are light, compact and are ideal for maintaining your lawns and meadows. The high quality blades ensure a perfectly mowed lawn. The mowers are available in three different widths: 120 cm, 150 cm and 180 cm.

The rotary mower is powered by a hydraulic motor, which is mounted on top of the mower. This motor is can process a maximum of 33 L/min. This makes the mower is currently only suitable for the GIANT D204SW till the GIANT D332SWT (X-TRA). Soon there will be new rotary mowers available for the other models. The two circulating blades are driven by two separated belt transmissions. On both transmissions is a tensioner to adjust the belt for correct tension. The height of the cutting unit is determined by 4 rotatable rubber wheels. On each wheel is a spacer mounted, which the height can be adjusted.

It is also possible to equip the rotary mower with a mulching kit. The mulching kit finely chopped the cut grass and spreads it over the lawn. So the natural cycle is complete. You save time and your garden is in full of health.

D332SWT (X-TRA) now also in Heavy Duty version

The D332SWT and the D332SWT X-TRA from GIANT are now available as Heavy Duty versions. These machines are equipped with a heavier hydraulic pump. This is offered as an option.

The big advantage of this HD-option is the increase of power for the driving hydraulics, which increases from 360 bar to 450 bar. This results in an even more powerful transmission. The big difference between the D332SWT and the D332SWT X-TRA is the front boom. The front-frame of the X-TRA is lowered, drastically increasing its lifting capacity. The tipping load of the D332SWT is 1060* kg and that of the D332SWT X-TRA is 1500kg* (nearly its own weight!)

*2330 lbs. - 3300lbs.
