LM

Strength by design

New Holland employs state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and has invested millions in the production line for LM models. Robot welding is a key manufacturing process and ensures consistent quality during chassis and boom construction.

• Hydraulic end-stroke dampers ensure smooth boom retraction and extension
• Dampers also protect the boom and operator from regular shock loads
• Engineered 40/60 weight distribution eliminates the need for bolt-on counterweights
• Excellent stability and traction is achieved when loaded
• Chassis strength is boosted as a result of the in-built mass
• 45° low profile headstock design enables complete filling of roof cavities
• Specify 131° or 142° optional tilt angle on non-Elite LM models, 142° is default on LM Elite
• Manual or hydraulic attachment lock is available

Designed tough

• Twin U-shaped sections, 10mm - 12mm thick form the boom
• Heavy duty pins ensure optimum durability
• Boom wear pads are easy to adjust
• Boom brushes prevent debris entering the sliding sections

Boom control

• Main lift ram is positioned under the boom
• Boom compensation cylinder faces rearward near the hinge point
• Both cylinders extend in opposite directions as the boom is raised
• This “opposite working” design improves boom control
• Optional boom suspension reduces shock loads over rough terrain
• Automatic deactivation occurs when the boom exceeds a 35° lift angle

Exceptional strength

• H-shape ladder chassis is made from 25mm high tensile steel
• Robot welding ensures exceptional torisonal rigidity
• Exceptionally strong boom support negates the need to add extra counterweights
