New Holland Construction Unveils W100D Compact Wheel Loader
New Holland Construction just released its new W100D compact wheel loader — marking the next generation of the brand’s compact wheel loaders. The company said the new model redefines the operator experience with a fully redesigned cab built for a variety of jobsites. Landscapers, agricultural operators, snow removal crews and more can all benefit from the W100D’s reliable power combined with an intentional design. New Holland Construction built the W100D to deliver productivity and performance in a compact class size where there have been few options.
“The W100D is all about giving the operator a better experience, from the layout of the cab to the responsiveness of the controls,” says Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America. “We’ve built this wheel loader to perform in the real-world, where comfort, visibility and intuitive design make a difference day in and day out.”
An Enhanced Operator Experience
According to the press release, the W100D’s new cab design represents a leap forward in the operator experience. New Holland explained that it focused on what matters most in real-world operating conditions — space, visibility, control and ease of use. Operators will appreciate a roomier layout and improved sightlines via the redesigned front windshield. The windshield provides clear views to both the bucket edges and tire alignment for more precise operating.
More from the press release:
Inside, operators will find enhanced comforts and advanced features that are typically reserved for larger machines: A standard heated air-ride seat, Bluetooth, FM and AM radio capabilities, HVAC system and high-visibility LED lighting. A new in-cab LED monitor and standard rearview camera offer access to real-time machine data and elevated awareness on the jobsite, helping operators stay efficient and confident in their surroundings.
One of the new cab’s standout features is the seat-mounted joystick, part of a true pilot control system. Unlike fixed joystick configurations, this system moves in sync with the operator’s seat, delivering better control and stability, especially in environments where there is uneven ground. This added precision and comfort improves operator productivity and safety by contributing to fatigue reduction during long hours of operation.
Other Features of the W100D
Powered by a Stage V certified FPT Industrial engine, the W100D delivers performance with the added benefits of fuel-saving features like eco mode and auto idle. The new compact wheel loader offers ride control and creep mode as standard features. High-flow hydraulics options are available for applications that require more specialized performance.
New Holland Construction said it designed the W100D with jobsite flexibility in mind. The machine boasts a standard JRB-compatible coupler and an optional ISO-compatible coupler to accommodate a wide range of attachments. The company noted that operators can choose between the standard 1.9-cu-yd bucket or a high-capacity 2.2-cu-yd light material bucket. Other compatible attachments for the W100D include: grapples, snow throwers, snow pushers and a full range of buckets.
Simplifed maintenance was also considered when designing the W100D. For example, three wide-opening service panels offer unobstructed access for efficient maintenance of the engine and other critical service components. The company said a five-year telematics subscription comes standard with the purchase of a W100D. This ensures owners, operators and fleet managers can stay connected in-person or remotely to monitor and manage performance insights and diagnostics.
