VF Venieri enters the fray with its 19tonne wheeled loader

VF Venieri has diversified from its traditional range of smaller machines to launch the 18-63, a 19tonne, 3.5m3 wheeled loader. Though this is the most widely sold type of machine in the world, Venieri believes its new machine can forge a place for itself, according to managing director Filippo Muccinelli.

VF Venieri’s 19-tonne wheeled loader will be competitive on price, says Venieri.
7276 VF VENIERI has diversified from its traditional range of smaller machines to launch the 18-63, a 19tonne, 3.5m3 wheeled loader.

Though this is the most widely sold type of machine in the world, Venieri believes its new machine can forge a place for itself, according to managing director Filippo Muccinelli Venieri.

“It is a big market but there are big competitors,” said Muccinelli. “Our strategy up until now was to stick to a niche market. But now we need to go in this direction.”

Venieri believes it can win a slice of this huge market because it will be competitive on price. “We decided to try to prototype the machine and make a price build-up. We are very happy with the result: the price of our 3.5 m3 is, without any doubt, very competitive in the  worldwide market.”

The 18-63 has hydrostatic transmission, as has all of VF Venieri’s range. It is equipped with 2304 ZF axels and 299 Perkins engine.

Stand: B5.209/310

  • Cat’s 988K delivers increased loading capability
    January 6, 2017
    Caterpillar’s seventh generation 988 wheeled loader – the 988K – is powered by a Tier 4 Final/Stage IV Cat C18 ACERT diesel engine, featuring selective catalytic reduction and delivering 362kW. The engine is said to deliver a 20% fuel efficiency benefit compared to the 988H, thanks in part to an ECO mode with on-demand throttle, auto idle and engine idle kickdown/auto resume system. The 50tonne machine moves away from its predecessor’s monoboom loader arm design in favour of a Z-bar linkage.
