Spanish OEM Ausa has launched a new range of compact dumpers with in the 1 - 1.5 tonne range payloads onto the market. With five new models, AUSA aims to build on the success of its earlier models by equipping them with new features that improve their functionality and promote safety.

The all-terrain industrial vehicle manufacturer said that with the launch of five new models, its aims to build on the success of earlier models by equipping them with new features that improve functionality and promote safety.

According to Ausa, optimised design features include new angular lines which provides built-in practicality and a folding compartment in the operator’s area that makes the engine and maintenance parts easily accessible.

At the same time. components such as air, fluids and fuel filters, radiators and tanks are “optimally positioned” to keep downtime to a minimum.

Additionally, 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, e.g. the negative brake.

As for safety, the new models come 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 that is 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.

Specific configurations

Each unit comes with the same 15.6-kW Kubota engine, permanent 4-wheel drive and a fuel tank with 60% more capacity than their predecessors, while the five dumpers each have their own specific configurations that allow them to meet different needs, Ausa said.

The D101AHA Compact, with a one tonne  payload, is the most compact model in the range and at100 cm wide it is narrow enough to fit through the doors of buildings and properties.

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 a great option for easily unloading materials into side ditches.

Finally, the two 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.
