The Thaler-Lader 2438 L/S/H is the successor of our very successful Model 2238 in the category of approx. 2 tons operating weight with 38 HP, and therefore the 2438 is the first model in our product range on which the new EU exhaust gas emission standard of level V = Stage V applies. In other words: the 38 HP Yanmar engine is equipped with common rail injection technology and EGR, and for exhaust gas treatment with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particle filter (DPF). It only achieves these strict emission levels of Stage V via DOC + DPF, however without Ad-Blue. The whole engine management is controlled by an ECU Electronic Control Unit made by Yanmar. The exhaust gas treatment technology is maintenance-free for 6000 operating hours, that is Yanmar’s proper trust and confidence in their own exhaust gas treatment technology.
All these components and technology needed more space, so we decided to extend the rear chassis. Pleasant and positive effects are:
-The rear chassis has become approx. 180 kg heavier = higher tipping loads
-Rear chassis has become approx. 17 cm longer = additional increase in tipping loads due to the better lever ratio
-The minimum width of 112 cm remains the same = good for the passage of gates and doors
