New Holland adds small articulated loaders to lineup
New Holland Construction is entering a
new equipment category with its full line
of small articulated loaders. The lineup
consists of five models - the ML12,
ML12T, ML15, ML23 and ML22X - that will
be available in the first quarter of 2024.
" These new small articulated loaders
are the embodiment of New Holland
Construction's commitment to innovation
and excellence, " said Daniel
Kakareka, product manager for New
Holland Construction North America.
" They're designed to empower our customers
to accomplish more in confined
spaces, with increased productivity and
precision. Truly, refining the way we
approach landscaping and light construction
tasks. "
New Holland states that these loaders
are nimble and offer robust lifting capabilities
and tipping load capacities. The
machines are designed to maneuver in
compact spaces for all landscaping and
light construction needs such as snow
and debris removal, contract tree care
projects and landscape maintenance.
Five flavors
ML12 small articulated loader is the
lightest-duty model of the range. The
ML12 model has a 25-hp (18.6-kW) engine
and a lifting capacity of 2,425 lbs.
(1,100 kg), a tipping load capacity of
2,205 lbs. (1,000 kg) and lifting height
of 85.4 inches (217 cm). New Holland
states that the ML12's operating weight
allows for minimal ground disturbance
when turning or hauling on soft ground
such as turf. The ML12 is intended for
landscapers focused on clearing sidewalks
or fenced-in areas with limited
space. Other key features of the ML12
model include an electro-hydraulic controlled
differential, hydrostatic 4-wheel
drive, standard lift path and a CII mechanical
attachment coupler.
The ML12T offers the same horsepower
and width as the ML12, but with
a telescopic reach arm loader and lifting
height of 111 inches (281 cm). This
extended lift reportedly allows operators
to load and unload materials from
large trucks, while the extended reach

provides more flexibility in dumping,
leveling and grading tasks. The ML12T
offers a 2,646-lb (1,200-kg) operating
weight and can be used for light construction
needs such as moving light
debris and pallets.
The ML15 is the next size up in the
range with a 3,086-lb (1,400-kg) lifting
capacity and 3,307-lb (1,500-kg) tipping
load. The ML15 is equipped with a
26-hp (19.4-kW) motor. The ML23 is the
largest model of the range with a
4,982-lb (2,260-kg) tipping load, a
4,850-lb (2,200-kg) lifting capacity and
a 96.5-inch (245-cm) lifting height. Also
equipped with a 26-hp engine, the
ML23 can travel at a maximum speed of
12.4 mph (20 km/h), which reportedly is
the fastest speed for all New Holland's
loader models.
Plugging in
New Holland's most innovative model
in the range is the ML22X, which is
the company's first all-electric small
articulated loader. The lifting capacity
of the ML22X is 4,850 lbs (2,200 kg)
with a tipping load of 4,528 lbs.
(2,053 kg) and a lifting height of 96.5
inches (245 cm).
The ML22X is powered by a 24.9-kW
lithium-ion battery that reportedly offers
5-6 hours of use per charge, depending
on workload. New Holland
states that multiple charging options are
available, and that the on-board charger
can replenish a depleted battery from 0
to 100% in approximately 8.7 hours. The
fast-charge connector provides a full
charge in less than 2 hours.
