The VENIERI loader-excavator: evolution of the mechanical shovel…

The excellent result obtained with the introduction of the hydrostatic drive has marked a turning point in the innovation process of the VF VENIERI.

The balancing of weights when unloaded means that 40% of the weight of the machine is on the front axle and 60 % on the rear axle, whereas when fully loaded the ratio is inverted.

The adoption of the hydrostatic drive makes the VENIERI machine much more efficient than those with a normal hydrodynamic system. The weight/power ratio is 10.4 KW/t.

Special attention has been given to the flexibility of the loader-excavators, with the application of the “Z”-type kinematic mechanism for the front loader.

This provides for a high degree of parallelism, indispensable when using the fork lifters, as well as great resistance to wrench stress, fundamental for the use of the bucket.These solutions, together with the oscillating rear axle, give the VF VENIERI machines maximum driving stability and balance, and are particularly suitable for use on steep gradients, when ascending hills or mountains.
