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

    Mecalac has introduced a rail-road version of its compact 8MCR crawler excavator. The machine has two sets of hydraulically-lowered rail wheels that use the dozer blade circuit to lift it clear of the tracks. The wheels can be set at 1,000mm, 1,435mm and 1,668mm widths, to suit various European rail networks. Activation of the on-rail function automatically turns on all regulatory lighting, limits the working height of the equipment, limits upper structure rotation and activates a load monitoring system.
