Well-known telehandler manufacturer Manitou launched new models of articulated wheel loaders at the SIMA show this week.

The new eight-model series now has tipping capacities ranging from 858kg to 5,000kg, for a lifting height between 2.5m to 5.20m. The range starts with an engine output of 25hp while the flagship model offers 145hp.

The new MLA-T 516-75 H features a hydrostatic transmission and 75hp Deutz engine.

Two models within the series are available with telescopic booms – the MLA-T 526-75H and the MLA-T 533-145 V+. The model names of the loaders correspond to the respective powers and transmission types.

The MLA-T 533-145 V+ was launched at previous events, but hadn’t reached the market for a length of time.

The Manitou stand also saw the showcasing of the newly redesigned Gehl machines. Revised colour schemes include black cabs, black attachments and silver wheel rims, while machine bodies remain yellow in colour.
