New Holland Construction has unveiled the ML35T and ML50T small articulated loaders (SAL), which are the largest machines in the company’s roster.
These models have been designed to give operators additional reach and hinge pin height when loading or moving materials is required.
“The new ML35T and ML50T SALs enable owners and operators to accomplish more while delivering reliability and performance when it matters most on the jobsite,” said Dan Kakareka, Product Manager for New Holland Construction North America. “With impressive telescopic reach, industry-leading hinge pin height and a range of top-notch features, these SAL models are the real deal for simplifying complex tasks and achieving project milestones faster.”
With their compact design, low ground clearance and balanced weight distribution, the machines allow operators to navigate tight spaces and minimize ground disturbances.
The flexible nature of the telescopic booms allows operators to retract and extend as needed to better handle jobs with various height needs. With increased elongation of the boom, the ML35T and ML50T excel in space-limited sites, delivering maximum horizontal and vertical outreach.
Operators also benefit from the telescopic boom’s ability to manoeuvrer and handle materials at elevated heights, such as loading concrete debris over dump truck box sides. Both models feature a hinge pin height of about 4.3 metres.
Equipped with a Stage V engine, diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF), the 65-hp ML35T and 74-hp ML50T SALs perform, while maintaining fuel efficiency.
With steel plates and reinforced booms, New Holland created each component for durability to minimize wear. Serviceability of these machines is a simple process with clearly labelled service points at ground level and easy access to engine compartments and grease surfaces.
SAL attachment options
With an ISO standard attachment coupler, the SALs connect seamlessly with an array of attachments, from sweepers to snowblowers, for use across various applications.
The ML35T and ML50T SAL models are engineered with advanced safety features, including ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) certification. These certifications ensure operators are protected in the event of an accident, providing peace of mind, no matter the task.
Strategically placed exterior safety features are also included, like backup alarms, rotating beacons, road light kits and LED lights to enhance visibility on the jobsite.
For operator comfort, the rear articulation position on the SALs places the operator toward the front section of the machine, allowing for a more ergonomic and easier accessible cab. This configuration enables operators to manoeuvrer closer to walls in tight spaces without the risk of collision.

The rear articulation design also contributes to greater cab stability with the inclusion of a zero-cab swing, a feature unique to SALs in the New Holland Construction portfolio. The ML50T is designed with a front oscillation joint that allows the front axle to move up and down independently from the rear axle. This enhances stability by keeping all four wheels in contact with the ground — even on uneven terrain — to reduce risk of tipping over.
With a climate-controlled environment and adjustable seating in the ML35T and ML50 SALs, operator comfort is optimized, and fatigue minimized.
“Our customers and their operators spend a considerable amount of time in these machines. With the new ML35T and ML50T SALs, we’re going above and beyond to elevate the machine experience, so operators can tackle jobs safely and comfortably,” Kakareka said.
