Ropa Maus 6

Ropa Maus 6

The Ropa Maus 6 is a self-propelled beet loader with a 10.2-meter-wide loading system and is the successor to the Maus 5. The machine combines the advancements of the Tiger 6S and the Panther 2S with the robust components of the Maus 5.

Recording System and Cleaning

The collection system has a total of 18 cleaning rollers and, according to Ropa, is the widest among all cleaning loaders. The length and intensity of the cleaning path can be adjusted to the ground from the cab. The total cleaning path is approximately 31.70 m, covering a cleaning area of approximately 35 m². The cleaning and loading capacity is up to more than 560 metric tons per loading hour. The standard secondary cleaning system is a 90-cm-wide screen chain. A wringer roller cleaner and a stone remover are available as options.

Loader and Balance

The transfer loader can load up to 6.0 m high and 15.0 m wide. The counterweight arm, made of 700 fine-grained steel, swings out together with the fuel tank to act as a counterweight, ensuring that the machine remains stable even at a transfer width of 15 meters.

Engine and Hydraulics

The Mercedes-Benz OM 936 LA delivers 354 pk (260 kW) from a 7.7-liter displacement, with a maximum torque of 1,450 Nm at emission level V. Loading can be performed at a steady speed of 1,200 rpm. In automatic mode, the engine speed is kept as low as possible, based on the set speeds of the drum and screen chain drives.

Cabin

The cab is 16 cm wider and 40 cm longer than that of the Maus 5 and offers 1,125 liters (35 percent) more space. It is height-adjustable up to 5.10 m and features floor heating, parking heaters, a swivel seat with heating and ventilation, and two 12.1-inch R-Touch displays. The parking heater can be activated remotely via the myROPA portal.

Compact on the road

With a single control, the Maus 6 folds back fully automatically from the cab to a transport width of 3 meters and a length of 14.97 meters. The wheelbase is 5.5 m, with two hydraulically suspended auxiliary axles. The travel speed is 32 km/h, with 40 km/h available as an option.

R-Connect and Cameras

R-Connect Telematics comes standard and offers remote diagnostics and online job reporting via the myROPA portal. High-resolution digital cameras are standard, including a camera on the center tine and a backup camera. Optional features include cameras on the transfer conveyor and the rear cleaner, as well as the R-View system that provides a 360-degree view around the machine.
