EQUIPMENT

A LEGACY OF HEIGHT, DUMP REACH, PRODUCTIVITY AND STABILITY For over a century, New Holland Construction has offered a full range of light-medium earthmoving and construction equipment. No matter what your industry, construction, farming or agriculture –, you will do your work more efficiently with a New Holland Construction machine by your side.

I n 1971 New Holland Construction produced its first L35 skid steer loader which was the first vertically moving skid steer loader equipped with the Super Boom® arm. The New Holland L323 series skid steer loader, launched in 2020 is one out of seven skid steers in the 300 series range. An ergonomically designed cab offers class-leading space and comfort which significantly limits operator fatigue, which in turn reduces errors during applications. The see-through area on top of the cab offers a clear view of the bucket, even at full height. A glass enclosure allows 360-degree visibility with minimal obstruction to the operator’s line of sight, providing a better view of the surroundings and the bucket edge. The L323 model provides easy rear door access to daily fluid and filter checks, and the 300 series skid steer loaders allow for minimised downtime by providing user-friendly upkeep. In addition, the in-cab display screen affords the operator engine data, performance information, RPM, fuel level, battery voltage, oil and engine temperatures, as well as service schedule updates. Customers in both the agricultural and construction sectors can benefit from the improved design which offers superior visibility, greater height and reach, a simple operator interface, and enhanced productivity for any job. The robust design boasts an enlarged bucket closure angle allowing for better material retention which enhances application efficacy. With a net power output of 68 hp and operating loads of 3 350 kg, the cycle times are faster, and the operation is smoother enabling the operator to load heavier cargo while operating with more power. The dual-range transmission on the 300 series provides travel speeds up to 17 kph which saves time on site between applications. The loaders are uniquely designed and manufactured to cater to an array of site-specific needs which include and aren’t limited to loading, lifting, pushing, and digging. The best-in-class geometry featured in the 300 series

skid steers includes the patented Super Boom® which enhances capabilities during loading and carrying applications. The Super Boom® in conjunction with a superior hinge pin height ensures a stable frame, increased height reach, and discharge range – as the arm extends upwards, the load is lifted forwards instead of backward towards the operator. This allows for a higher reach to efficiently load and unload materials in hard-to reach spaces. Ensuring stability on rough terrain is essential for optimal productivity, a longer wheelbase, which is the longest in its category, simultaneously guarantees comfort and stability on uneven terrain. The L323 series builds on the strengths of its predecessors which offers an enhanced ergonomic interior as well as advancements in exterior features, providing the durability and performance operators have come to expect from a skid steer. The redesigned 300 series skid steer loaders offer customers excellent productivity in severe conditions, in addition to reliability they are able to face any operation regardless of the terrain. The L323 skid steer loader also provides users with the option of utilising interchangeable attachments, such as a hydraulic hammer. Attachments can be interchanged with ease thanks to the Klac self-locking system. Its compact design respects original kinematics and doesn’t require any maintenance operation, granting the best productivity of your machine. Customers are seeking on-site equipment that is both multi-faceted and multi-functional and the re-engineered New Holland L323 series skid steer loader has progressed to cater to an evolving market. New Holland Construction sells and supports a full line of construction equipment around the world and through the New Holland dealers, customers have access to a true professional partner with world-class equipment and aftermarket support, industry-leading warranties and flexible financing. 
