Following the introduction of the “Night Edition” for selected models of the Arion 500, 600 and 800 and Axion 900 tractor series, Claas now also launches a Night Edition for four Scorpion telehandlers.
The special Scorpion Night Edition models feature a grey cab roof and grey wheel rims. In addition, both door and bonnet sport large, high-quality stickers as well as the Night Edition emblems. “The Night Edition associates the performance and comfort of the Scorpion telehandler with an exclusive, visually appealing aesthetic,” explains Christian Leyhr, Product Unit Greenline & Material Handling.
The Night Edition Scopion 733, 742, 756 and 960 will be available in limited numbers in selected sales regions such as Germany, France, the UK, Poland, Italy and Scandinavia from Spring 2025.
Production in Austria
Since 2017, Scorpion telehandlers and Torion wheel loaders and telescopic wheel loaders have been manufactured in Austria at the 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 modernize different areas of the production plant infrastructure, including cab pre-assembly and the construction of a new shipping hall, logistics center and advanced administration building. The development and testing center now covers an area of 10,800 m2.
Scorpion telehandlers and Torion and Torion Sinus wheel loaders are manufactured in Austria at the Liebherr production facilities in Telfs and Bischofshofen.
The remodeling 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.
Investments in recent years have seen Logistics and Assembly expand from 2,500 to over 9,400 m2.
