Lely order book 'slightly better'
Dairy automation company Lely reported a 3.4% decline in total turnover last year but notes that sales are picking up.
The L+ model is designed for loaders with lift capacities up to 5.5 tonnes. Meanwhile, the XL+ is suitable for loaders with up to 10 tonnes lift capacity.
These two newcomers are powerful bucket grabs for silage handling. The models are suited to farms with high feed demands, utilising powerful hydraulic cylinders to handle all types of silage – including grass and corn silage, loose feed and liquids.
The two new models offer significant improvements. These include a grab design that uses four pivot bearings for improved stability, alongside a cut-out to allow it to be used on loaders with Z-link kinematics for the crowd and dump functions.
Both models hold silage loads securely in place. The side plates and side tines designed to prevent spillage, while the bucket body features an integrated spill guard at the top to prevent any losses.
The Powergrab L+ has an opening width of 2 metres and has a capacity of 2.1 cubic metres. While the higher capacity XL + unit opens to 2.14 metres with a capacity of 3 cubic metres.
Both models are available with the M24 bolt-on-hook system, making them suitable for all popular loader types, with availability for autumn 2024.
