Industry-exclusive Articulation Plus™ steering system combines 30 degrees of articulation with 10 additional degrees of rear-wheel steer. Reduced articulation angle design delivers tighter turns that are more stable, especially with large loads, than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus.
Loader arm and coupler design improves the lifting path to near parallel — for better load-carrying capability than previous models. This keeps the load more level from ground to truck-bed height and helps the operator focus on the task instead of on making manual adjustments.
Outstanding reach enables the 344 P-Tier to efficiently dump to the center of tandem-axle trucks, for quick loading cycles. With exceptional lift and height to hinge pin, the optional High-Lift configuration makes this capable compact especially adept at repetitive dumping and stacking applications.
With a standard top speed of under 25 mph, the 344 P-Tier can make some pretty quick moves on and between jobsites.
Low-effort joystick controls boom and bucket, forward-neutral-reverse (F-N-R), and differential lock. Adjustable-height monitor lets operators keep close watch on vital machine functions.
Standard ride control cushions the boom during travel over rough and uneven terrain, reducing material spillage from the bucket and minimizing site cleanup.
