Telehandlers T4512 - Next Generation

The compact Weidemann Telehandler T4512 is unique in its combination of lifting height, width and machine performance: With a lifting height of 4.5 m, a wide range of stacking and loading tasks can be completed. Thus, it can also easily overcome most side panels. The payload is a considerable 1.25 t, so big bale forks of any kind or various materials with high weight are no problem. The compact dimensions with 1.56 m width and a height under 2 m are the real highlight of the machine. With these ideal dimensions, the telehandler can pass through low passages and drive into narrow spatial situations and it can work optimally indoors over there. The latest version of our bestseller now drives with the electronically controlled traction drive, ecDrive (Electronic Controlled Drive), and electric parking brake with auto-hold and hill-hold function. This allows the machine to be driven and applied completely as needed.

This ensure maximum productivity and the best-possible work result. The operator is relieved and can work focused for a longer time with the machine.
  • In the attachment mode, the manual throttle is used to set the rpm of the diesel engine, and the driving speed is regulated by the slow drive facility. Using this, speeds can be set very precisely from 0.1 km/h via the display. This guarantees a constant feed for the attachment. If, however, driving or reversing movements need to be performed more quickly, operating the foot pedal at any time will override this and the machine can be run at maximum speed.
  • If the load is too high on the attachment (e.g. cut material of various kinds in front of a mulcher), the machine automatically reduces the driving speed in order to make the highest possible performance available to the attachment. If the load is reduced again, the machine returns to the driving speed previously set.
Weidemann telehandler T4512, ecDrive: M-Drive

Electronically-controlled traction drive (ecDrive): M-Drive mode

  • The M-Drive mode corresponds to a gas pedal mode. Here, the engine speed of the diesel engine is set with the hand throttle, and the driving speed is controlled with the gas pedal.
  • With the M-Drive mode, the desired rpm always applied, and a result, inching is redundant. This enables comfortable working with attachments, e.g. a spreader, as well as the efficient handling of material with just a few journeys.
