Featuring electric-over-hydraulic controls, a suspended undercarriage and air-ride suspension technology, the ML180 helps address persistent operator fatigue and productivity challenges in traditional stand-on mini loaders while elevating the performance that contractors expect from a mini loader. Industry innovations incorporated throughout the design help crews work more efficiently with reduced operator strain across varied job site conditions, according to Vermeer

## Improving Mini Loader Productivity, Comfort for Operators
