New Holland launches company’s largest CTL

The new C245 Super Boom compact track loader offers the highest level of performance in a New Holland Construction vertical lift machine. With a rated operating capacity of 4,500 pounds and breakout force of 9,188 pounds, it’s the largest, most powerful New Holland compact track loader model yet. The C245 not only reaches higher and delivers more power and lift capacity, the rugged construction, smooth, stable ride and exceptional visibility allows operators to work with more confidence and speed.

“The trend in the industry is for larger machines that are capable of doing more work in a shorter amount of time,” says Construction Product Marketing Manager Doran Herritt. “Whether loading gravel into a truck, stacking dense, heavy bales, placing pallets of brick, block or sod, or lifting and carrying other heavy materials, the bigger, beefier C245 is exceptionally productive.”

New Holland’s patented, vertical-lift Super Boom design provides high lift capacities, long forward dump reach, and fast cycle times. It reaches up and out to dump cleanly into the center of high-sided trucks and hoppers. Operators can empty the bucket faster and easier, which in turn increases cycle times.

Cab comfort and visibility: “Comfortable operators get more work done,” Herritt says, “and better visibility allows safer and more efficient work. This is an area where the C245 really stands out from the crowd.”

The cab’s visibility gives operators a clear view of the job site with lots of cab glass and the thinnest side screens. New steel front work lights with sidelamps deliver extra visibility during nighttime operations.

The long wheelbase on the C245 allows operators to lift and haul more material, increasing productivity. The low-profile undercarriage design extends track life and provides a smoother ride because the steel-embedded tracks roll on the rubber instead of the steel.

“With a long wheelbase and a low center of gravity, New Holland compact track loaders are exceptionally stable,” Herritt says. “Even novice operators can work with confidence.”

Maintenance. Contractors can open the engine compartment rear door and find routine service points like the engine oil fill and dipstick, the air filter, oil cooler, radiator, coolant over flow, fuel filter and oil filter are readily accessible. And if more service access is needed, the entire cab assembly flips forward and out of the way to open the machine up wide for convenient access to components.
