Description
The Manitou MLA 6-65 H-Z is a compact wheel loader that combines reduced dimensions with real power. The loader arm has Z-kinematics, which gives higher breakout force and additional dump height and reach. MLA is Manitou’s designation for articulated loaders.
According to the Manitou MLA 6-65 H-Z product page, the machine has a 48.5 kW (65 hp) engine and an unladen weight of 4,150 kg (with forks and a 4-post canopy). Static tipping load is 2,907 kg with bucket (straight) and 2,230 kg (full turn), and 2,259 kg with forks (straight) and 1,778 kg (full turn). Maximum height of the bucket pivot point is 3.32 m, and maximum lifting height (below forks) is 3.13 m. Breakout force with bucket is 5,743 daN. The MLA 6-65 H-Z is part of the range of Manitou wheel loaders at Hesselberg.
The machine has a four-cylinder Yanmar 4TNV98CT engine that meets Stage V, with a torque of 280 Nm at 1,560 rpm. The transmission is hydrostatic with two gears forward and reverse. Top speed is 30 km/h, and 20 km/h when laden. Front and rear differential lock is standard. The hydraulics deliver 70 l/min at 200 bar, and the high-flow option delivers 100 l/min. The fuel tank holds 95 litres and the hydraulic tank 74 litres.
The machine is 1.65 m wide (less bucket) and 4.26 m long (less bucket). The wheelbase is 2.01 m, the articulation angle is 45° and the ground clearance is 0.37 m.
The hydrostatic transmission gives performance on every terrain without compromising smoothness when working in confined spaces. The operator station is designed for comfort. All controls are centralised around the joystick and on the floating armrest, and Manitou states full 360° visibility, an adjustable workspace and ergonomic controls. The cab is ROPS and FOPS certified (level 1), and vibration on hands and arms is below 2.5 m/s².
