New Holland Construction’s newest small articulated loaders (SALs), the ML27 SAL and ML27T telescopic reach SAL, are now available in North America. Designed for efficiency and versatility, these mid-size small articulated loaders are built to be effective in utility, construction, landscape, and agricultural applications.
“The ML27 and ML27T SALs will be new go-to machines for contractors tackling any job in compact, low-clearance areas with power and precision,” says Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. “These loaders combine a rugged steel design, top-notch safety features and unparalleled operational capabilities to deliver outstanding performance in demanding environments and diverse applications.”
Both machines feature a 50-hp engine and heavy-duty drivetrain, providing towing power and rapid acceleration up to 18.6 mph. These models’ operating weight is 5,732 pounds, and they feature a lifting height of 8.25 feet (2.5 metres). The ML27 has a lifting capacity of 6,393 pounds, while the ML27T offers 6,405 pounds.
Power and capability for diverse job sites
The ML27 and ML27T are designed for power and versatility to work effectively in diverse applications which require heavy lifting and precise manoeuvering such as:
- Agricultural work: Useful for feeding livestock, cleaning barns, and handling bales or other farm materials in tight barn spaces or uneven fields.
- Construction sites and warehouses: Effective for site preparation, debris removal, and material transportation around crowded job sites with restricted access points. The ability to lift and transport pallets and other materials makes them ideal for warehouse and supply yard operations.
- Landscape work, tree care, and golf course maintenance: They can easily maneuver around flower beds, trees and other obstacles to complete grading, installing sod, and spreading mulch tasks. These models have low ground pressure for moving sand, soil, and other materials on golf courses without damaging the turf.
- Forestry and tree care: Tasks like stump grinding, tree planting, and wood chipping can be achieved with the ML27 and ML27T.
- Municipal maintenance and snow removal: These models are appropriate for street and sidewalk maintenance, including pothole repair, curb installation, and other urban infrastructure tasks. Equipped with a snowblower or plow attachments, SALs can efficiently clear snow from narrow driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots.
- Utility work: Perfect for trenching, backfilling, and pipe laying where space is limited and ground disturbance must be minimized.
Designed with safety, durability, and versatility in mind
The ML27 models have multiple tire options, including agricultural, hybrid, and turf tires, providing owners with the right choices to meet ground disturbance and manoeuverability requirements for any job.
Both ML27 models feature safety technology in their construction. Roll Over Protective Structure and Falling Object Protective Structure (ROPS/FOPS) certification guarantees machine balance when carrying heavy loads or completing tasks where rollover risks may occur. It also ensures an added level of protection when debris comes into contact with the cab.
Features like oscillation for stability, backup alarms, and comprehensive lighting kits further ensure operator safety. All ML27 SAL models come with a five-year Fleet Force Telematics subscription, providing advanced telematics for optimal fleet management.
New Holland Construction’s SALs are compatible with more than 50 high-flow attachments via a hi-flow skid steer coupler, including buckets, forks, grapples, sweepers, and more. These loaders streamline operations by offering quick attachment changes, reducing the need for additional equipment and personnel.
Other features of these models include:
- Standard lift path options for loading and other tasks.
- Mechanical self-levelling for consistent load handling.
- Loader lift arm support struts for stability.
- Extra counterweights for enhanced lift performance.
- An exclusive telescopic boom feature on the ML27T.
- SSL-compatible attachment hydraulic-powered coupler for efficient tool changes.
