AUSA launches next gen compact dumpers AUSA has introduced its next-generation range of compact dumpers which includes five models rang- ing from 1,000-kg to 1,500 kg payloads. With the five new mod- els, AUSA aims to build on the success of its earlier models by equipping the compact dumpers with new features that improve functionality and safety. e dumpers' new an- gular lines deliver built-in practicality. e main new feature is a folding com- partment in the operator's area that makes the engine and maintenance parts easily accessible. Every- thing, including air, fluids and fuel filters, radiators and tanks, is optimally po- sitioned to reduce down- time to a minimum. As well, all models fea- ture a dashboard display with real-time informa- tion about the machine, such as fuel level, hours of use and which mecha- nisms are activated. AUSA's new models have several new, stan- dard features designed to increase the safety of the operator and those work- ing 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 op- erated by a button on the dashboard. e 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 fea- ture a presence sensor and a seat belt with a buckle sensor. All five compact dumper models are powered by thesame 15.6-kW Kubo- ta 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. e 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. e D101AHA and D101AHG models have a skip with a 1,000-kg payload and 108-cm widths. e AHA version has front and high-tip- ping, 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 mate- rials into side ditches. e 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, manufactur- ing and selling wheeled dumpers, rough terrain forklis and compact tele- handlers. In September, JLG parent company Oshkosh com- pleted its acquisition of AUSA. Following the acquisition of Hinowa in 2023, the AUSA acqui- sition further supports the Oshkosh accelerat- ed growth strategy and strengthens the JLG equipment portfolio.
