Manitou has launched several new compact machines as of late among which are duos of new articulated loader and compact excavator models for the company’s Gehl and Mustang machine lineups.
We’ll start with the company’s new articulated loaders. We got a preview of these machines last year at the bauma show in Germany. But now that they’ve made their North American debut, Manitou has shared a few more details. The company has also announced the launch of a pair of telescopic models under the Gehl brand.
The new 608/708 articulated loaders from Mustang and 650/750 models under the Gehl lineup are Manitou’s largest articulated loaders to date and are powered by a 65-horsepower Yanmar engine in the 600 models, and a 75-hp Duetz engine in the 700 models.
Kenworth has added an all-wheel drive configuration to its T880.
The front drive axle is installed at the Kenworth factory, which Kenworth Marketing Director Kurt Swihart says speeds delivery time and saves costs.
