New Holland has expanded its compact wheel loader portfolio with three new C series models – the W60C, W70C and W80C LR. These models have been engineered to elevate efficiency, productivity and comfort for operators and owners, regardless of the job site or task. The new models are available in North America.
“The development of these advanced CWL models was driven by our goal to enhance the operator and owner experience and the need to put more options with more versatility in their hands. What’s also evident with the three new models is how they provide exceptional stability, enabling operators to handle larger loads with ease, maneuver confidently in challenging conditions and enjoy smoother travel, even on rough terrain.”
The W60C shares the same robust frame as the W50C but with enhanced horsepower to elevate output. Notable upgrades to horsepower and the Z-Bar boom design tailor the W60C for applications such as landscaping, material handling, snow removal and more.
Customers can expect the W70C to tackle the same jobs as the W60C but with more horsepower, speed and performance. With a lighter operating weight of 12,000 pounds and 74 horsepower, this model is ideal for a wide range of tasks and a variety of markets, including light construction, landscaping, contracting and municipalities.
The W80C LR model is a high-speed option that employs a lift capacity of 10,600 pounds and an operating weight of 13,000 pounds. The W80C LR is optimized for tasks like loading feed into total mixed ration mixers or stacking bales in barns.
The W60C, W70C and W80C LR offer new features geared toward improved comfort and ease of operation with updates like a new spacious ROPS/FOPS-certified cab with advanced climate control options and a fully sealed, pressurized cab to minimize noise and keep out dust.
New Holland FleetForce Telematics comes as a factory-fit addition on all the new models with a free five-year subscription. FleetForce Telematics helps owners make positive changes to their fleet management and how their crews work, as well as enhances the complete value of the equipment in the long term.
Other key technological features include:
- Automated Boom Control: Allows operator to set return to dig, return to travel and height control from within the cab, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive loading operations.
- Creep Functionality: Simplifies the use of creep mode, ideal for operations requiring low vehicle speeds and high hydraulic power, such as operating a snowblower.
- Cruise Control: Enables setting a speed for long-distance travel and adjusting speeds on the joystick for added convenience.
- New Smart Mode: Enhances fuel efficiency and reduces road noise during machine travel and operation.
- Auto Ride Control Option: Ensures a comfortable ride on uneven, rough ground when moving material from stockpiles to trucks or around job sites, minimizing load spillage and wear and tear.
- Screen and Panel: Incorporates a new 7-inch monitor and a multifunctional panel to streamline the operation of both new and existing features for improved ease of use.
The three new CWLs, which are powered by a 4-cylinder, 3.4L FPT Industrial F5H engine, meet Tier IV final emission standards. The engine includes CEGR and DOC that help minimize maintenance and cost for operators and owners. With these new models, New Holland Construction has eliminated the need for a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
The exterior design of all three models is built to make the machines compatible with more than 250 attachments, including buckets, brooms, snow blowers, bale grabbers, skid steer and CTL attachments. High-flow attachments are also available for the W70C and W80C LR models.
A redesigned Z-Bar Monolift cylinder is featured on the new CWLs. This feature is ideal for high-production load-and-carry applications, such as moving and setting drainage tile or stacking landscape timbers.
The W70C and W80C LR are high-speed options capable of reaching 25 mph.
