ASV Posi-Track loaders have long set the standard in the construction industry, renowned for their comfort, versatility, and top-tier performance.
Expanding upon this legacy, ASV recently introduced the groundbreaking MAX–series VT-100 compact track loader into Australia, which has quickly turned heads with its range of tools that enable improved productivity and provides unmatched operator comfort.
The vertical-lift machines excel in loading and grading applications in landscaping and construction. While ASV MAX-Series models are purpose-built with the same technology as the brand’s full line-up of compact loaders, they also feature a brand-new, next-generation cab and same unique Posi-Track undercarriage technology for a premium operator experience like never before.
- Power
A 103.5 horsepower Tier 4 Final Yanmar diesel engine and standard 151.4lpm high flow delivers maximum power.
Large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct- drive pumps transfer more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and reduce power loss.
The VT-100 features a 1588kg rated operating capacity and 4536kg tipping load.
- Performance
Improve jobsite productivity with intuitive features that make the VT-100 easier – and more enjoyable – to use.
Pair that with ASV’s patented Posi-Track rubber-track suspension and suspended wheels and axles, and faster speeds can be achieved.
It adds up to high travel speeds of up to 14.9km/h and a low 4.0 psi ground pressure for improved performance.
- Comfort
Premium 360-degree visibility and a state- of-the-art 7-inch colour display improve convenience on the jobsite.
The display provides vital monitoring tools, shows the view from the backup camera, and integrates with service schedules and history for added convenience.
The fully adjustable suspended seat and smooth ride allowed by ASV’s Posi-Track undercarriage contributes to more comfort on bumpy terrain. Additionally, the VT-100 includes optional ride control.
- Serviceability
ASV stands behind the reliability of its Posi- Track loaders with an industry-leading two- year, 2000-hour warranty.
The warranty includes the industry’s first and only no-derailment guarantee and covers the tracks for the entire warranty period.
The new compact track loader also incorporates Yanmar’s optional SmartAssist telematics system with features ranging from error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates, daily work reports and integrated theft protection.
One delighted VT-100 user has been Donal Ryan, director of WA-based construction firm Ryano Civil and Plant.
“We run a few ASV Posi-Tracks,” he said.
“We were the first in WA to purchase a VT- 100, about three months ago, and have been running it day and night and there have been no issues so far.
“It has great power and reach and is a very versatile machine. I don’t think anyone rivals the comfort of it on the market.
“We geared them up with GPS as well for our clients’ needs.
“We like the ASV brand, and the backup from the Perth branch is great. “
ASV VT-100 Forestry MAX-Series Posi-Track
Good news for land clearing businesses is that ASV has also recently released a Forestry model in Australia which offers dedicated add- ons for heavy-duty forestry applications.
The machine is built to deliver forestry- grade performance in a 100hp compact track loader, including guarding that meets forestry safety standards to hydraulic flow rates and cooling capacities to keep up with demanding attachments.
The VT-100 Forestry model is engineered with extra durability to tackle demanding applications like mulching and site preparation.
Like the general VT-100, it prioritises enhanced comfort, visibility, and performance, solidifying ASV’s status as leaders in the compact track loader category.
The two new loaders are the perfect option for those looking for a little more size and power than the RT-75 but without needing the massive frame and capacity of ASV’s (and Australia’s) largest CTL, the RT-135.
