Manitou recently launched three new compact skid-steer loaders to its V Series, the 2100V, 2300V, and 2750V, and three compact track loaders to the VT Series, the 2100VT, 2300VT, and 2750VT. The new models range in capacity from 2,100 to 2,750 pounds (952 to 1,247 kilograms) and received significant upgrades to enhance performance and comfort.

Five Areas Of Improvement

"We have focused on improvements in five main areas: safety, comfort, productivity, simplification, and serviceability,” says Manitou Compact Loader Line Manager, Nathan Ryan. “All models are vertical lift and feature a new lift arm design. The driver’s station has also been redesigned with an improved version of our patented folding door. The new cab also offers some of the best visibility on the market thanks to a new window and roof design."

The new skid steers have 12% higher average breakout force and a tank capacity increase of 14% over previous models. They have keyless code-activated start, LED lighting, and a Pilot joystick system adjacent to the operator’s seat. Maintenance is easier thanks to the lifting cab and centralized upkeep points. Operator comfort has been improved in the track loader range with the IdealTrax system for automatic track tensioning and extended track life. Optional features such as additional LED lights, high hydraulic flow, a rear camera, and more are available to optimize the machines for your operation.
