Mecalac TLB890 boost for S&S Plant
S&S Plant Ltd has taken delivery of the very first Mecalac TLB890 backhoe loader featuring next-generation Active Drive technology. The unit was sold by Aberdeenshire-based Balgownie Ltd, Mecalac’s approved dealer for the Northern Scottish mainland and Outer Hebrides.
As an addition to Servo Power Synchro transmission, all new Stage V-compliant Mecalac TLB890 models now feature Active Drive as an option. A new technology addition for 2019, Active Drive bypasses the torque converter to optimise responsiveness and efficiency in dynamic working conditions. Coinciding with the introduction of Stage V emissions legislation, the 110hp TLB890 now features Perkins’ Syncro engine platform. Alongside complying with both EU and US (EPA) regulations, this sees power output increase by 10% (to 82kw).
