Schäffer is introducing the 1422 – its first multifunctional loader, and the most compact loader in the Schäffer line-up. The 1422 is the ideal multi-tasker for year-round use. With an extremely compact build, powerful working hydraulics and a large choice of attachments, this is a machine designed with versatility in mind.
Since the 1950’s, Schäffer has been developing innovative solutions to replace hard manual work. The new 1422 is built to this philosophy and delivers Schäffer’s renowned build quality in an extremely compact loader. With an operating weight of 1,250kg and dimensions less than 2m high and just 0.89m wide, the loader passes through narrow and low doorways without a hitch and can be easily transported on car trailers even with an attachment mounted.
Versatility is key
The new 1422 articulated compact loader is exceptionally versatile – equally at home in horticultural applications as well as on construction and demolition sites. It is also ideal for use in play parks and municipal applications as well as winter service operations. The 1422 is an ideal all-rounder for groundskeepers, nurseries and cemetery gardeners and even private gardens.
“We are delighted to present a light-weight multifunctional loader that delivers maximum flexibility, performance and agility in tight spaces,” says Schäffer’s head of Marketing, Sebastian Bertelsmeier. “In times when skilled labour is in short supply, an efficient machine becomes ever more important. Moreover, a fleet of modern machinery makes a business more appealing as an employer, especially when the machine reduces the need for manual work.”
Powerful engine and hydraulics
The 1422 is powered by a 16.2kW/22hp engine from Kubota, a Stage V unit with no need for an emission treatment system. The hydrostatic drive is operated very easily, with diesel engine revs adjusted through the accelerator. Direction and speed are pedal-controlled, making the loader very manoeuvrable, especially in confined spaces. The standard hydraulic pump delivers an oil flow of 28 l/min for operating complex attachments such as flail mowers, sweeping machines or snow blowers. With a top speed of 16km/h, 810kg lift capacity and a 2.23m lift height, the 1422 really delivers.
