Launch of the new, powerful MLT-X 961-160 V + L NewAg XL
Manitou expands the NewAg XL range with the updated MLT-X 961-160 V + L, with a lift capacity of 6.1 tonnes and a lift height of 9 metres. Built for heavy-duty work, the handler is primarily suited to large farms (grain, biogas operations), agro-industrial enterprises and waste-processing facilities. Sharing the same DNA as the NewAg XL models, the MLT-X 961-160 V + L was designed to deliver greater comfort, productivity and cost-efficiency.
A new, powerful Yanmar engine: +11% power (156 hp / 115 kW), +49% torque (805 Nm). A versatile, optimized M-Vario Plus transmission with comfort / dynamic modes, +31% pulling force at high speed. The NewAg XL cab (quieter, wider and more spacious) for fatigue-free work in tough conditions. High output thanks to a specialized 4,500 l CBA bucket (width: 2,700 mm).
Excellent 360° visibility, up and around, thanks to panoramic glazing. Easy cab access with the Easy Step and door lighting for safe visibility in the dark. An intuitive control panel with a Harmony / Vision display and on-screen user-help pop-ups. A JSM joystick on a floating / adjustable armrest.
The JSM Autopower function for controlling engine revs via the JSM, without using the hand throttle or accelerator pedal. A new toolbox, built into the underside of the cab. Connected remote monitoring and easy access for servicing all components, to lower total cost of ownership.
“A high-output, comfortable and efficient machine delivers excellent profitability in tough operating conditions, with an optimized total cost of ownership.”
Arnaud Sochas, Innovation Manager & Global Product Manager (MLT)
