Innovation and power combined
A new compact wheel loader
The Knikmops range has always varied between 800 kg and 2.5 tonnes. Until now. Gebroeders Geens is launching a model that is bigger and stronger than ever before! The Knikmops KM350 weighs about 3600 kg and can lift and move about 3000 kg close to the ground. Add to that a working hydraulic flow rate of 62 l/min with maximum pressure of 180 bar and you have a compact wheel loader that can operate a huge range of attachments. Gebroeders Geens developed this brand new Knikmops model with farmers and people in earthmoving in mind.
What's inside the steel chassis of the Knikmops KM350?
With the Knikmops KM350, the Knikmops user can count on a 44 kW or 60 hp motor when handling this multifunctional articulated loader. This allows this Knikmops to handle many different attachments, such as a concrete transport bucket, a ground levelling bucket and the GECO leveller. In addition, there is continuous 4-wheel drive thanks to the four separate hydraulic motors on the wheels. This drive can be controlled with a length lock or optionally engaged electrically. The wheel motors of the Knikmops KM350 are switched, so that you can work powerfully in a low gear and to cover a greater distance, you can switch to a higher gear. Then the articulated loader can drive up to 35 km/h. To ensure stability and comfort, this articulated loader is equipped with a swing axle at the rear, a unique feature for Knikmops. In short, this easy-to-drive Knikmops is an ideal addition to the construction site or garden.
What are the dimensions of the Knikmops KM350?
How big is the largest Knikmops? The Knikmops KM350 is about 4.6m long and 1.62m wide on standard wheels. The chassis has a width of 1.32 m on narrow tires so it can also be slim. As with all other Knikmops from Gebroeders Geens, the driver sits really high on the articulated loader, which provides a unique overview of the load and the entire wheel loader. Also, this allows the engine to be encased completely in the wheel loader. As a result, the Knikmops KM350 remains very compact for its weight class, and this articulated loader also has the straight rear that immediately identifies it as a Knikmops.
Comfort for the driver of the Knikmops KM350
Knikmops excels as a helping hand on site. The articulated loader is traditionally used to work for short periods of time, so the driver has to get on and off easily and frequently. The Knikmops KM350 will more often be used for a longer period of time. As a result, in addition to the accessibility, there is a need for more comfort for the driver. First of all, there is the adjustable steering column, another brand new feature in the Knikmops range. In combination with the adjustable seat, the Knikmops user can adjust everything to their own comfort and ergonomics. In addition, the seat base of this Knikmops has been fitted with rubber damping. This increases the driver's seating comfort. The familiar, user-friendly digital dashboard from Knikmops can also be found on this articulated loader.
Compact power for tough work – Knikmops KM350
The compact steel chassis of the Knikmops KM350 is robust and was developed for tough work. This makes it easy for to maintain the basic values of Knikmops: compact, multifunctional and durable. The worker can once again be supported by the helping hand of the Knikmops. To ensure that Gebroeders Geens wheel loader lasts a lifetime, good daily maintenance is essential. To encourage the user to do a visual check every day, a handy maintenance flap at the rear allows them to check the air filter, check and top up the oil, check the coolant, and check and top up the hydraulics and diesel.
