The new Mecalac AS750, AS850 and AS1000 swing loaders join the existing AS600, AS900tele, AS1600 and AS210 models, expanding the capacity of the range from 600 to 2,100 litres.
The AS750 is the big sister of the Mecalac AS600 swing loader, boasting a larger width and an increased wheelbase (1,870 mm) for even greater stability. The engine power has been increased to 45kW / 61hp to provide more lifting and loading capacity, while P-bucket kinematics offer high precision during handling operations, particularly with the pallet lift or load hook. The spacious cab, with two doors, provides the operator with excellent visibility, further increasing safety on the job site.
The AS850 features all the advantages of Mecalac’s swing machines, including a rigid chassis and four-wheel steering, the AS850 is also available in a 40 km/h option for faster transfers. In addition, a brand new arm and ‘Z’ bucket kinematics offer the best compromise between digging power and precision.
A more powerful version of the AS850, the Mecalac AS1000 swing loader offers maximum performance with a 4-cylinder 55.4 kW / 75 hp high-torque engine (375 Nm), while the option of a high-flow hydraulic line offers up to 120 l/min.
The swing feature in Mecalac loaders increases productivity by providing the ability to drive, manoeuvre and swivel at the same time. Mobility is increased with three standard steering modes – two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering.
