The new 234C has a new boom system, a new cab, an improved hydraulic system and more swing torque.

Tigercat's long standing 234 series knuckleboom loader has been upgraded. The new 234C has a new boom system, a new cab, an improved hydraulic system and more swing torque.

The new 234C boom system provides increased lift capacity and quicker boom speeds. The boom cylinders are cushioned at the end of stroke for smoother boom operation. Through-tip hose routing is another new feature. Hydraulic hoses to the grapple are now routed through the boom tip for increased hose protection.

The Tigercat loader engineering team had the operator in mind when designing the 234C. The new operator's station is more comfortable with 16 percent greater internal volume, increased width and more leg room. Joysticks and switches are mounted on the armrests within comfortable reach.

Improved A/C and heater controls allows the operator to set the desired temperature for a more comfortable working environment. Climate controlled cupholders keep drinks hot or cold for longer. Dedicated in-cabin storage areas include a space for a full size Tigercat insulated lunch box.

Operator visibility has been improved with larger front and side windows. The wiper motor, radio and touchscreen display control system have all been relocated for improved sightlines. In addition, a redesigned swing motor cover further improves the operator's line of sight to the work area.

Hydraulic system improvements include a new, larger main pump and a new boom valve providing smoother boom control and improved flow sharing. Finally, swing torque has been increased by 13 percent over the 234B for improved pull-through delimbing performance.
