ASV Introduces VT-70 Vertical Lift Compact Track Loader

ASV LLC introduces its first mid-frame, vertical lift compact track loader, the Posi-Track VT-70. The machine features a vertical lift loader linkage for applications requiring extended reach and level loads, such as loading pallets and handling hay bales. The VT-70 features best-in-class rated operating capacity, cooling systems and hydraulic efficiency. The compact track loader excels at lift, carry and load tasks as well as heavy digging in industries such as agriculture, construction and excavation.

The VT-70 boasts industry-leading serviceability, featuring a swing-out door and cooling system along with a 3-panel hood arrangement that allows total access to the engine, filters and other daily checkpoints.

ASV built the VT-70’s auxiliary hydraulic system to operate efficiently with an optional 107.5 l/min high flow and 227.5 bars. The machine includes large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps – rather than belt-driven pumps – transferring more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and preventing power loss. This design optimizes performance so operators can run attachments more efficiently than higher-horsepower competitive units. As a result of belt-driven pumps and restrictions in their hydraulic systems, many competitive machines lose as much as 30% of their power.

The VT-70 features a rated operating capacity of 1,055 kg and a tipping load of 3,016 kg. It is 168 cm wide and has a 3.2 m lift height. Standard joystick controls make operation easy and intuitive, while a self-leveling system allows attachments to stay at a set position while lifting. Operators can use the unit with all standard attachments, such as pallet forks, buckets, snow blades and brush cutters. An optional turf track allows for operation on highly manicured surfaces, such as golf course greens, with minimal risk of damage. A 42 cm aggressive track is also available for a lower ground pressure of 20.5 kgf/m2 along with increased traction and flotation.
