Harsewinkel, Germany - CLAAS KGaA mbH., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has announced the TORION 537e SINUS, a six-tonne class telescopic wheel loader with a locally emission-free battery-electric drive, set to join the company’s material handling range from 2026. The loader combines the SINUS steering system with an electric drive, offering full performance comparable to the diesel-powered TORION 537 SINUS.
The TORION 537e SINUS features a lithium-ion battery with a modular design, providing 32.2 kWh as standard or 64.4 kWh optionally. The system delivers 30 kW for the ground drive and 15 kW for the hydraulic pump, enabling operating times of 8 to 16 hours depending on battery capacity. Recuperation during braking or downhill travel recharges the battery, while the integrated on-board charger fully charges it in 1.5 to 3 hours.
The loader maintains high performance, with a 5,910 kg operating weight, a Z-bar linkage breakout force of 48 kN, and hydraulic cycles of 4.9 seconds for lifting, 1.7 seconds for dumping, and 3.5 seconds for lowering. Top speeds of 20 km/h are standard, with an optional 30 km/h.
The SINUS steering system combines 30-degree articulation with rear axle steering up to 25 degrees, providing a minimal turning radius of 3,520 mm and stable handling in confined spaces.
CLAAS connect integration allows users to monitor machine location, parameters, and maintenance data. A touchscreen terminal inside the cab displays machine data and battery status in real time.
The TORION 537e SINUS delivers emission-free operation without compromising productivity, performance, or maneuverability, marking CLAAS’ first battery-electric wheel loader.
