AUSA has introduced its next-generation range of compact dumpers which includes five models ranging from 1,000-kg to 1,500 kg payloads.
With the five new models, AUSA aims to build on the success of its earlier models by equipping the compact dumpers with new features that improve functionality and safety.
The dumpers’ new angular lines deliver built-in practicality. The main new feature is a folding compartment in the operator’s area that makes the engine and maintenance parts easily accessible. Everything, including air, fluids and fuel filters, radiators and tanks, is optimally positioned to reduce downtime to a minimum.
As well, all models feature a dashboard display with real-time information about the machine, such as fuel level, hours of use and which mechanisms are activated.
AUSA’s new models have several new, standard features designed to increase the safety of the operator and those working near the machine. Each machine is equipped with a negative brake that brings it to a complete stop when it is not in use, without needing to apply the brake. It also has an electric parking brake operated by a button on the dashboard.
The driver’s cab is equipped with a high-comfort seat with suspension, ensuring comfort in the machine and reducing tiredness during long working days. Additionally, they also feature a presence sensor and a seat belt with a buckle sensor.
All five compact dumper models are powered by thesame 15.6-kW Kubota engine, permanent four-wheel drive and a fuel tank with 60 per cent more capacity than their predecessors. Each dumper model has its own specific configurations that allows the machines to meet different needs.
The D101AHA Compact, with a 1,000-kg payload, is the most compact model in the range. At 1 metre wide, it is exceptionally narrow to fit through the doors of buildings and properties, making it the ideal solution for indoor demolition works.
The D101AHA and D101AHG models have a skip with a 1,000-kg payload and 108-cm widths. The AHA version has front and high-tipping, which is perfect for emptying small loads of material into jobsite dumpsters. Meanwhile, the AHG version has a swivel tip skip, making it ideal for unloading materials into side ditches.
The D151AHA and D151AHG models have a payload of 1,500-kg and the same high-tip and swivel skip configurations as the above models. Both are ideal for earthmoving and small demolition jobs in areas with limited room for maneuvering.
Established in 1956, AUSA specializes in designing, manufacturing and selling wheeled dumpers, rough terrain forklifts and compact telehandlers.
In September, JLG parent company Oshkosh completed its acquisition of AUSA. Following the acquisition of Hinowa in 2023, the AUSA acquisition further supports the Oshkosh accelerated growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio.
