New Holland to showcase mini crawler excavators at this year’s Saltex event: New Holland will showcase its E18C ROPS mini excavator, from the company’s agricultural construction range, at this year’s Saltex event on 1^st and 2^nd November. 

The New Holland agricultural construction range includes mini crawler excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders and skid steer loaders. These multi-purpose machines are ideal for busy landscaping and amenity contractors, and are available with a variety of purpose-made attachments. New Holland dealers can also supply further accessories for specialist operations.

The mini crawler excavator range features seven models with engine power ranging from 16.8 to 64.7hp and lift capacity between 1.7 to 6 tonnes, Compact dimensions are matched with high performance to maintain power and versatility when working in difficult-to-access areas.

Constant hydraulic flow means New Holland’s mini crawler excavators can power a variety of demanding attachments including soil augers, flail mowers for hedges and verges, as well as cutterbars and saws. The boom and dipper offers power arm versatility with the ability to work hydraulic shears, breakers and stump grinders.

The hydraulic quick coupler allows hands-free attaching and release of buckets, and safer switching between large, heavy attachments. Mechanical quick lock attachment brackets are also available.

The optional Object Handling Kit enables all models of mini crawler excavators to raise heavy suspended loads using a lifting hook on the bucket linkage, reducing the need to bring in additional equipment and complying with health and safety guidelines.

Powerful traction matched to a low centre of gravity provides excellent stability across difficult terrain.  The dozer blade, with its unique concave design allows earth to fall forward as it is pushed and features excellent geometry for levelling and grading. When excavating, the blade can be lowered for stability.

Designed around the operator, the cab’s slim frame pillars ensure excellent all-round visibility, with a good view of the boom and dipper. The E18C is available with a choice of canopy or cab, and all variants within the mini crawler excavator range are ROPS roll-over, TOPS tip-over and FOPS falling-object compliant to ISO standards. All models operate at low noise and vibration levels, allowing for extended work periods with no compromise to operator safety.

Visitors to Saltex can find out more about the agricultural construction range of machines, including the full mini crawler range, on New Holland’s stand (K189). The range is available through selected New Holland dealers across the UK and Ireland.
