2628 Schäffer 2628 Specifications & Technical Data (2019—2026)

Hydraulic Drive and Control

With the hydraulic four-wheel-drive foot pedal controls, the 2020 and 2024 loaders can be operated very easily. The diesel engine revs are adjusted through the accelerator, while the direction of travel and speed are controlled with a pedal on the left side of the machine. This outstanding ease of operation makes the machine very manoeuvrable, which is a huge advantage in areas with a lot of changes of speed and direction.

The Schäffer 2028: Compact Performance Machine

The Schäffer 2028 is up there with the best of its class when it comes to traction force and agility. The Kubota diesel engine, hydrostatic drive, and the original Schäffer axles provide high traction force, while automotive controls automatically adjust the speed of the engine. The traction force has increased from previous models due to the use of the latest drive components. It’s simply not possible to stall the engine – it always works within the optimal range of speeds. The Schäffer 2028: it moves more than you would expect!

HTF: Maximum Thrust in High Gear

HTF, or 'High Traction Force', automatically regulates the thrust so the loader can supply the highest possible thrust even in a high gear. HTF uses a new axial piston-bent axis motor that regulates speed automatically depending on the traction. This is particularly useful in an uphill position as the driver does not have to switch to first gear. HTF comes into its own when digging into aggregate material; if more thrust is required, the hydraulic motor adapts automatically, without the driver having to interfere manually. This means most of the work can be done in fast gear, increasing driving comfort and speeding up work. HTF is standard on the 2630, 2630 SLT, 3650, and 4670. Benefits: Very high thrust forces No need to manually shift down a gear when going uphill Even at high speed, the maximum thrust is always available, e.g., when driving in muck heaps Enhanced driving comfort, faster working.

Schäffer Axles for Safety and Stability

Original Schäffer axles are adjusted to each particular loader – that’s the secret of their outstanding pushing power, as proved by independent tests. The force of the hydrostatic drive system is converted into high pushing forces. For this series, the permitted load-bearing capacity is 7 t per axle – you’ll be pushed to find better. The new HTF drive automatically delivers the highest thrust in high gear.

Ergonomics at Its Best

Driver comfort was our top priority when designing the cabin of the 4670. A range of features contribute to a very comfortable work environment, allowing the driver to feel fresh even after long working days. All operating and control instruments are clearly laid out and user-friendly, easily accessed from the comfortable seat with impressive legroom. The generous use of glass delivers perfect visibility for working and manoeuvring. The third control circuit is integrated into the joystick, with no need to change the handle to operate the additional control circuit.

Bonnet Maintenance

The front and rear bonnet of the 2028 SLT are easy to open, making maintenance to carry out.
