The two new models feature productivity enhancing 360-degree visibility and unsurpassed manoeuvrability, together with industry-leading levels of operator comfort, all housed in a super compact frame of not more than 2m wide and high. Distinctive New Holland styling and powerful Stage 3 compliant engines complete the package.
“The LM5020 and LM5030 complete New Holland’s range of telehandlers,” said New Holland’s Pierre Lahutte. “The LM5020 is perfect for small livestock and horticultural operations, offering high levels of lifting performance in an overall compact package, while the LM5030 is the natural choice for more demanding farmers working in hilly conditions or for silage applications, or even for light industrial businesses, thanks to the 101hp engine.”
The LM5020 and LM5030 are set to become the default choice for height sensitive operations. The machines’ overall compact dimensions ensure they offer ‘access all areas’ manoeuvrability, while maintaining the power to perform. The LM5020 is equipped with the powerful and efficient Stage 3 common-rail turbocharged engine, whereas the LM5030 offers mechanical injection for economical efficiency.
The LM5020’s overall dimensions of 4.10m long x 1.80m wide x 1.95m high mean that even the lowest chicken sheds can be accessed with ease. When combined with a 2,500kg lift capacity at 5.78m, performance and accessibility are a given. The LM5030 also guarantees easy-access, together with a beefed-up lift capacity of 2,800kg at 6.35m, in a frame of 4.67m long x 2.00m wide x 2.00m high.
The LM5020 and LM5030 models have been optimised for reliability and dependability in demanding operating environments thanks to their robust in-house design and manufacture. All key stressed components, including the chassis and boom are produced in thick, reinforced steel to guarantee stability and durability during prolonged operation. The heavy-duty steel structure means that the LM5020 and LM5030 are, on average, 10-12 per cent heavier than the competition for increased stability when lifting heavy loads at full extension.
New Holland knows that unparalleled manoeuvrability is a prerequisite for efficient yard work and the two new telehandler models deliver just that. The LM5020 has a turning circle of 3.4m and the LM5030 can turn around in a mere 4.0m. An inching pedal is available to guarantee precision machine placement, perfect when stacking or selecting bales, moving fertiliser or grain for improved accuracy, reduced loses and increased safety, productivity and profitability. Thanks to the machine’s robust design, the high degree of torsional rigidity further enhances positioning accuracy.

The LM5030 benefits from a highly accurate two pilot light steering alignment system. This state-of-the-art technology ensures that both the front and rear wheels are aligned to guarantee precision operation, perfect when working in conditions of reduced visibility or in dimly lit sheds.
To further enhance accuracy and safety, 360-degree visibility is guaranteed thanks to the very large glazed area. The panoramic wrap-around windscreen stretches right to the back of the cab and offers an unfettered view of the boom from ground level to full extension. Safety is further enhanced thanks to a fully compliant FOPS compliant cab.
The LM5020 and LM5030 models benefit from impressive hydraulic performance, perfect for even the most demanding applications. The respective 85 and 110 lit/min hydraulic flow ensures that cycle times are kept to a minimum to guarantee efficient loading or bale stacking for improved productivity and reduced time lifting.
Both models benefit from patented compensation cylinder technology. This technology is situated inside the lifting cylinder and ensures a balanced pressure is always exerted on the boom which offers two major benefits. This solution increases durability and also keeps attachments parallel to the ground during lifting for increased accuracy and safety.
The single, ergonomic joystick can control up to five services, ideal for specialist applications. This intuitive lever falls perfectly to hand, to the operator’s right hand, and controls all lifting, extension and tertiary functions for all implements from forks through to buckets and clamps.
The LM5020 and LM5030 cabs offer industry-leading levels of operator comfort and ergonomic operation for increased productivity and reduced fatigue during long working days. The spacious cab is mounted on silent blocks to cushion operators from the harshest shocks when working on uneven terrain. Operators of all sizes will feel perfectly at home as all machine controls fall perfectly to hand and can be operated from the comfort of the driver’s seat.

The entire range can be specified with two different comfort levels. The entry level offering is perfect for operations looking for economical productivity. This can be upgraded to the special comfort pack, which includes air-conditioning and double-glazing to keep operators cool on the hottest days or when working in humid livestock sheds; an air seat for enhanced comfort and a full range of work lights. For the most demanding customers, an additional comfort kit with a mobile telephone holder can also be specified.
