Following the successful introduction of the Night Edition for selected models of several tractor series, Claas has launched a Night Edition for four Scorpion telehandlers. These special models are visually distinguished by a grey cab roof and grey wheel rims. The doors and hood are enhanced with high-quality, flat stickers. Night Edition emblems are also affixed to both the doors and the hood.
“The NIGHT EDITION offers customers the chance to associate the performance and comfort of their new SCORPION telehandler with an exclusive, visually appealing aesthetic,” explains Christian Leyhr, Product Unit Greenline & Material Handling.
The NIGHT EDITION SCORPION 733, 742, 756 and 960 will be available in limited numbers in selected sales regions such as Germany, France, the UK and Ireland, Poland, Italy and Scandinavia from Spring 2025.
State-of-the-art production in Austria
Since 2017, SCORPION telehandlers and TORION wheel loaders and telescopic wheel loaders have been manufactured in Austria to the highest quality standards at the state-of-the-art Liebherr production facilities in Telfs and Bischofshofen. The Telfs plant, which was built in 1976, lies to the west of Innsbruck and covers an area just short of 18 hectares. Liebherr employs over 800 workers at this site. Since CLAAS and Liebherr joined forces, investment has been stepped up to modernise different areas of the production plant infrastructure, including cab pre-assembly and the construction of a new shipping hall, logistics centre and advanced administration building. The development and testing centre now covers an area of 10,800 m2.
The remodelling of the telehandler assembly line in 2024 marked another milestone. Liebherr has invested 9.4 million euros in an extended, flexible assembly line with a production capacity of up to 3,000 telehandlers per year. Among other things, this included the installation of new turning gear in Pre-assembly and a new rail system in the Finishing area to move finished machines sideways. This has enabled more workstations to be installed in a short section, allowing production processes to be speeded up significantly when necessary. State-of-the-art workstations in the halls offer employees ample space to move around, are brightly lit and will be comfortably warm even on cold days thanks to newly installed infrared heaters.
