New Holland Construction says that its 200 Series skid steers and compact track loaders will benefit from new, more powerful engines and Tier 4 Final emissions control technology specifically tailored for each model.
“With new engines, the 200 Series will not only meet the Tier 4 standards, they will also have more power and capability. They can still work in the same spaces they did before, but will perform like a larger machine,” says Paul Wade, construction equipment product marketing manager.
The large-frame L230 skid steer and C238 compact track loader meet Tier 4 Final emissions standards with SCR technology. SCR is a cool-running, quiet system that’s separate from the main engine function and does not compromise horsepower or torque, New Holland assures.
The large-frame L228 skid steer and C232 compact track loader feature an FPT diesel, four-cylinder turbocharged and after-cooled engines with an efficient, fuel-efficient high-pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system design and electronic controls. These engines meet the Tier 4 Final emissions mandate with a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)-only solution which eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The medium-frame L218 and L220 skid steers and C227 compact track loader feature ISM diesel four-cylinder turbocharged and after-cooled engines with an efficient, fuel-efficient high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system design and electronic controls. These engines meet the Tier 4 Final emissions mandate with a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)-only solution which eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF). With a 21% higher peak torque rise at 1,800 rpm, the L220 has a 12% increase in horsepower from 60 to 67 gross hp. The L218 remains at 60 gross hp, but has 7% more torque for additional power and performance.
The small-frame L213 and L216 compact skid steers meet Tier 4 Final status using CEGR and DPF technology. The L213 skid steer features a 2.2-liter ISM engine. With this new engine, the gross horsepower increases from 46 to 49 hp. with a 9.6% torque boost. Compared to the L215 model it replaces, the L216 boasts an increased operating lift capacity of 1,600 pounds. Engine horsepower has been increased by 8 hp. Additionally, a hydraulic quick coupler option is now available on both of these compact skid steers.
Maximized performance and reliability. To maximize performance and reliability, all models in the 200 Series feature electronic engine control. CAN-messaging capabilities allow the operator to monitor and store diagnostic data points, including hydraulic oil temperature, fuel rail pressure and fuel tank level.
With the 200 Series, New Holland says its maintains the best-in-class forward dump height and reach with the vertical lift design that can load material to the center of trucks, finishing jobs faster. The medium-frame skid steer loaders feature the patented vertical lift Super Boom design, delivering enhanced forward dump height and reach. The 53° dump angle on the 200 Series skid steer loaders is also best in class, New Holland assures. This lets operators empty the bucket faster, increasing cycle times and productivity.
The self-leveling bucket feature on the five models with the Super Boom design allows attachments to maintain the preset location throughout the lift cycle. Customers using pallet forks or other attachments to load materials into confined spaces will appreciate the extra work they’ll be able to complete with the self-leveling feature, New Holland points out.
