New Holland Construction, through its dealership Shark Máquinas, is present at the Show Rural Coopavel 2017, which takes place from February 06th to 10th, in Cascavel (PR). The brand, which has been increasingly increasing its participation in projects linked to agribusiness, has already confirmed the display of an L218 mini loader, a W130 wheel loader, a B95B closed cabin backhoe loader and other solutions for one of the segments that demands the most productivity in the Brazil. Construction machines will be on display at the New Holland Agriculture stand.
For New Holland Construction's Product Marketing Manager for Latin America, Paula Araújo, participating increasingly effectively in agribusiness requires investments in technology and a range of products and services that offer excellent performance and savings for the farmer. “We are significantly increasing our participation in the sugarcane, cattle raising and land preparation segments for planting.” According to the manager, the brand's main asset is to offer customized solutions, fully adapted to the needs of producers and which generate greater productivity and performance in the field. “In addition to the opportunity to get to know our equipment up close, the customer will also find different conditions for new acquisitions. We expect to do good business. It is important to highlight that much of our equipment can be purchased through Finame”, adds Araújo.
Strength and versatility on the field
New Holland Construction products can be widely used in agricultural activities; However, wheel loaders are still major players, especially in the sugar-energy sector, being responsible for implementing infrastructure in sugarcane plants and farms, in addition to handling bagasse. “With the appropriate construction equipment, it is easier to standardize the size of the plots, the width of the carriages, standardize the loading areas and the contour models to be adopted”, says the manager.
Some applications of loaders in the field: the brand has a series of wheel loaders specifically for the sugar and alcohol sector. In addition to the larger bucket to feed the boilers, its models have exclusive features to meet the heavy needs that this segment requires, such as HD axles to support the loads applied to the rear axle when moving bagasse; reversible fan, which allows automatic cleaning of the cooling system and fuel tank protection. The machine can also be used in similar crops and with applications similar to those of the backhoe.
