• Greater reach and lifting capacity
• New model with side-mounted engine and unique transfer case for increased power
• Most spacious cab in its class
• Unlimited panoramic visibility
• Larger cooling system
• Reduced maintenance costs
The all-new range of New Holland telehandlers has been designed specifically for agriculture. The entire development of the LM5000 model was carried out in-house.
?New Holland telehandlers are extremely productive, multi-purpose machines. The LM5000 is a truly innovative model, as it is more powerful and offers greater comfort to make the working environment more productive.
We built the LM5000 using technology renowned for its high reliability and, at the same time, we made sure to reduce maintenance costs,? explains Rico Helmrich, New Holland Marketing Manager for telehandlers.
The new range consists of three models offering a variety of lifting and reach capacities: the LM5040 has a 6,1 m boom and a capacity of 3,5 tonnes, the LM5060 has a 7,1 m boom and a capacity of 4 tonnes, and the 9,6 m long-reach boom of the LM5080 has a capacity of 3,3 tonnes. These models are therefore extremely competitive in the important 6 to 10 metre machine segment.
Increased productivity and power
All LM5000 telehandlers are equipped with a side-mounted Tier III engine with a power output of 120 cv. This new concept gives the operator exceptional visibility and a more spacious cab. In addition, this position provides excellent accessibility for daily maintenance.
The engine is mounted parallel to the central drive shafts. The transfer of power to the transmission, unique in the sector, is both simple and efficient. This new concept delivers 26% more power than previous models, and torque has increased by 32%.
The 22% improvement in the power-to-weight ratio thus enables a real increase in productivity. As part of New Holland's biodiesel commitment, the LM5000 is no exception: it can run on pure biodiesel (B100) in accordance with the company's recommendations.
The new model is equipped with a rear-mounted telescopic boom. The welded square section and the twice-as-large overlap zone between the inner and outer boom sections ensure greater strength.
In addition, this design allows optimal positioning of the sliding pads to reduce friction and ensure smoother, more stable telescopic movement. This increases reach and lifting capacity. For example, the LM5060 gains 900 kg of lifting capacity and the LM5080 offers an extra 0,7 m of reach.
The LM5000 are fitted with a four-speed PowerShift transmission. The hydraulic circuit is supplied by a variable-displacement piston pump with a flow rate of 145 litres per minute. The multifunction proportional joystick (MFP) makes the most of all this power for smooth handling and high productivity.
For convenience, the multifunction joystick is located on the seat armrest. It allows several functions to be used simultaneously: lifting, extension and crowding. The MFP joystick also allows variable-speed control. The variable-displacement pump delivers hydraulic flow only on demand to reduce fuel consumption for even more efficient operation.
Superior visibility and comfort
Operators of the new LM5000 will notice a dramatic change in the style, layout and size of the cab. The huge new cab is the most spacious on the market and has 40% more glass than the previous LM-A model. The curved windscreen extends above the operator's head to provide maximum visibility throughout the telescopic boom's travel.
Thanks to the very low boom pivot point and the sloping engine hood, the operator has a clear view to the right and to the rear of the LM5000; these areas were usually blind spots. This innovative design has resulted in exceptional panoramic visibility and correspondingly higher levels of productivity and safety.
Although the model is more compact overall, the new LM5000 has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor and its main competitors, which provides greater stability and a smoother ride. In addition, the turning radius is reduced by 5%, making the LM5000 extremely manoeuvrable.
The machine is isolated from engine vibrations thanks to a unique three-point mounting configuration, combined with a cab suspended on silent blocks, which reduces noise inside the cab by six decibels. The optional deluxe air-suspension seat provides an even smoother and more comfortable ride.
The new spacious cab has a better ventilation system, with air circulation improved by 75%. An optional all-season air-conditioning system improves operator comfort on hot afternoons and reduces fogging on cold, damp mornings.
Proven reliability
Built in New Holland's specialised workshops in Lecce, Italy, the LM5000 benefits from the plant's many years of experience.
The cooling capacity of the LM5000 is much greater than that of the previous model, which improves the performance and service life of the telehandler's components. The transmission oil cooler has double the capacity and the hydraulic oil cooler has also been resized, which demonstrates the high quality of the LM5000 model.
The larger diameter of the telescopic cylinder provides maximum hydraulic force without requiring high pressures, which notably reduces heat transfer to the valves and in the circuit.
Reduced maintenance costs
Better performance also translates into lower maintenance costs and longer service intervals. All daily checks, fluid levels and refuelling can be done from ground level thanks to the clever design of the engine compartment and the wide-opening hood.
Service intervals have been significantly extended and operating costs over 2 000 hours are reduced by 45% compared with the previous model. The transmission oil filter must be replaced every 1 000 hours instead of 600 hours, while the transmission oil must be replaced every 2 000 hours instead of 600 hours.
The all-new, unrivalled design of the LM5000 has become a benchmark for telehandlers. It combines power, performance and comfort in an innovative model that offers a great many advantages to users seeking productivity while sparing them stress.
